was just talking about “cell therapy” in another thread, such a uniquely haunting record. this is an obvious classic record with many choices, but it’ll be hard for me to pick anything else.

yeah "Cell Therapy" is something else, and Cool Breeze on "Dirty South" is incredible. Feel like I'm neglecting the rest of the album because those two are so stunning.
― JoeStork, Saturday, 24 October 2020 21:04 (three years ago) link
I might lean into "Guess Who". So honest and painfully personal.

there's really no bad choice here

guess ill go with i didnt ask to come... or maybe sesame street (i think my fav beat on here)... or maybe thought process.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 28 October 2020 07:47 (three years ago) link
'thought process' easily.
this album set the table for atliens masterfully. put my expectations through the stratosphere. ceelo was an immense talent and just completely stole the show. his verse that starts off "first of all, i stand a little more than five feet tall, but we can still brawl, n/gga i ain't scared at all" was like O_O holy shit!
was always a little annoyed that the full version of 'blood' wasn't on the album. i mean, it's a little long, but i think it still would've been a highlight.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfeYisk_71U

been trying to pick my LEAST favorite off this album and i guess it's maybe "The Coming" but even that is fucking great

anyway, let's do still standing after this.what you know about the banana and mayonnaise

i gather goodie never got real market love north of the mason dixon but i remember working at a media store in middle tennessee when World Party came out and there was a mad rush on release day to buy copies of the CD out of the cardboard cut-out standup of the guys in the now-super-problematic cover costumes. dang i wish i had managed to steal that promo.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 28 October 2020 17:10 (three years ago) link
i know it's too early to become cynical negative guy, but i'm just going to say it: every goodie album after this was a crushing disappointment.
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Wednesday, 28 October 2020 17:42 (three years ago) link
i have a hard time listening to Cee-Lo's verses as much after his sexual assault charges/terrible comments.

Still Standing is great I think (though I wish one verse was excised from “Fly Away”)
― JoeStork, Wednesday, 28 October 2020 17:44 (three years ago) link
I love "The Experience"
― Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 28 October 2020 17:47 (three years ago) link
still standing had about five solid tracks.
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Wednesday, 28 October 2020 17:57 (three years ago) link
I will argue that Still Standing is (nearly) as good as Soul Food.World Party, One Monkey, Age Against all have lots of good tracks.I once dressed up in a tiger suit for an MTV promo with Cee-Lo and Dangermouse at the height of "Crazy"; I have the same issues with him since those suits went public.

all pretty great imo! And I'd include "Fly Away" if Khujo's verse didn't bum me out so much.
― JoeStork, Wednesday, 28 October 2020 18:03 (three years ago) link
I love all those songs, besides which They Don't Dance No Mo might be my favorite track on the album and you didn't even mention it!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 28 October 2020 18:05 (three years ago) link
oh yeah that one isn't an immediate standout for me but it's good, i like most of the songs i didn't mention!

and let us not forget the secret VIP on World Party

actually i'd call world party a classic too! I'd have to double check one monkey before i go any further than that but even a quick scan suggests this is also fucking great!3-6 production here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jix2Vs5mZP0

Hm, Still Standing was the one I listened to most at the time. I should pull these out again.

think you need to re-listen! not as good as the debut but it comes close and some of the highs reach even higher

slightly ot but saw at random goodie mob dropped survival kit, it was on like only one persons bestof20 list in the compilations screens. so it's like 00s comfort food rap for me, lots of solid/silly fusionizing. but i take comfort when i can, it's fine for now.
