great, performance too, with those pitbulls and the fuzzy red knife lady haha
much more lively and creative than, say, playboi carti's performance from the other night

Can't remember if it was here or another thread where someone told me I should give him a try despite my general antipathy toward the heavy accent on a lot of grime and drill emerging from the UK, and I finally downloaded this record...fucking brilliant stuff, love it!

it’s a fantastic album. one of my favourites from last year.

Truly— been bopping it today whilst doing arduous editing work, and its been excellent
― The return of our beloved potatoes (the table is the table), Thursday, 11 February 2021 22:30 (three years ago) link
very happy you like this, but honestly far more interested to hear how you do editing while listening to music? I can't even do instrumental stuff lately
that aside, I listened to this again recently after a little time away and it's really deep sonically (not just bass-heavy, I mean lots of layers). I don't have a problem with accents in grime etc., but I do think the way Salieu uses his accent is super musical and one of my favorite aspects of the album

It's so so good. I find with this kind of thing I can generally appreciate it on a track by track basis but I can listen to this whole album without feeling exhausted and usually Judy want to put it straight back on again

rob, at the moment, I'm doing a lot of medical editing and proofing work. Doing word-for-words and fixing references and whatnot just doesn't require much in terms of concentration, at least in my world.

(For this particular record, I was doing a word-for-word of a powerpoint with 140 slides lol)

this album's secret is that it is so breezy and likeable
― imago, Friday, 12 February 2021 22:28 (three years ago) link
it's one of those - hard to define - sets where everything bangs and is perfect, just put together as an amazing set
― The Scampo Fell to Earth (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 13 February 2021 00:20 (three years ago) link
and the closing track is so gorgeous, makes you wanna play it over
― imago, Saturday, 13 February 2021 00:23 (three years ago) link
how you do editing while listening to music?
Not table, obv., but I can scarcely get any work done without music playing in the background, it's pathological. I belatedly got into metal while writing my thesis – it was just about the only thing that kept me going.
More to the point: Pa Salieu rules.
― pomenitul, Saturday, 13 February 2021 01:02 (three years ago) link
I do not do any other writing or editing to music, absent emails and such.
But for the gig I'm working? Whatever, I'm Freelance and getting paid an absurd sum to fact check references and make sure things are in their right place before they go live or to print. It is so easy and boring that if I didn't listen to music, I'd fall asleep
― The return of our beloved potatoes (the table is the table), Saturday, 13 February 2021 02:16 (three years ago) link
Also Pa Salieu rules, and 'Energy' really does make one want to go back and listen to the whole thing again
it's not complicated, if you listen to Send Them to Cov you'll get it
the more of everbody that get into this
so perfect

The album has been growing massively on me as well. I love the dancehall influence on this, right there from futuristic Block Boy.

i need to give it another listen, it seemed solid but didn't really wow me?
― ufo, Wednesday, 1 December 2021 22:00 (two years ago) link
I enjoyed the harder first half more than the (afro)poppier second for sure, but the production sounded v cool to me—otoh, I don't listen to much UK rap/grime/drill, so it's possible the better-versed won't find anything special about it—and I love hearing his voice

Pa Salieu - Mista / Lennon Freestyle - the second beat is quite 90s, not what you'd expect from. It totally works though
