  1. With Exai, the first day I was like, cool, this is great stuff. A week later I'd devoured it and lushed out. My obsession with ae helps.

    I got into them with Oversteps and I ate through their whole discography in 3 months.

     

    I plan to take the whole day when this comes out, to become one with it. Though I hope it's not September. September's a bad month, got tons of shit to pay for.

  2. It's not gonna be like a scrapbook style ep where the tracks that didn't make the album get thrown in, like Move of Ten was (though I enjoyed mot). Just basing off the fact that the album was so long and its taken some time for them to announce this.

     

    I hope it's a well constructed lush ass ep, like envane.

  3.  

    I dunno...sounds like the same synth presets were used on every track. the synth tones definitely are not as warbly as before. I want warbly synths...warbles...WARBLES!!!!!! DAMMMITT

    exactly, wtf. It makes you remember (if you didn't already realize) what an integral, crucial part of their early sound that synth was. It sounds like they're using different synths, and as a result, they almost sound like a totally different (and much diminished) group.

     

    Yeah I miss their secret weapon.

  4. Aerphax

    lol!

     

    Pear Squisher's probably been mentioned already...

     

    And back when I was in the earlier years of school I thought it'd be cool if I could be a rapper called Aryan, till I learned that it was an actual word and what it meant.

    Glad I don't care much for hiphop/rap anymore, would've been disappointed if I'd preordered it.

     

    you can preorder top40 hip-hop albums?

     

    I enjoyed it, it's worth a listen but there's no way I would buy it - it sounds more like a mixtape. Pitchfork's BMN nod is arguable but 9.5 is too high - at this point I'm pretty sure they have extensive meetings over awarding decimal points. The review seems to meander a lot but it was an ok read. I lol'd when I saw the argument that Daft Punk and Rick Rubin were singled for production because they were "rule-breakers." Seriously? Daft Punk made crossover house music. Rick Rubin paired rappers with rock riffs. Those were clever decisions working off existing styles, not bold and novel efforts to create unique and challenging music. "Walk This Way" didn't break rules: it just made a fun and silly single, made hip-hop seemingly ok to a lot of white people in 1986, and made an assload of money. Oh geezus.

     

    Also, I know the Grammy's are an irrelevant circle-jerk, but if they do end up nominating Yeezus for "best packaging" (an award that actually has a tiny bit of merit) I will be irked. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1709235/kanye-west-yeezus-grammy-recording-package.jhtml

     

    I forgot to mention I really like Bound 2. But it's definitely because it's his old style. Both the beat and the rap/flow. I think that's what he does best and should just stick to that. I mean I really like those kind of songs. I'm just satisfied that there was even one song like this.

    And yeah those two aren't rule breakers, whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean.

     

    That would be funny. Exai should get that award (ha)...

  6. Lots of critics are hailing this album, pitchfork gave it a 9.5 (couldn't care less but just saw it and you know).

     

    I'm a fan of his first 3 and I've been sad ever since, his new stuff is pretty shit. I don't care if he's trying to be risky and do outrageous tracks, but it's boring and the lyrics sound like something some pissed off 400 lb kid in highschool wrote because he thinks he's G as fuck.

     

    Glad I don't care much for hiphop/rap anymore, would've been disappointed if I'd preordered it.

  7. Whoever this is is really mysterious and secretive. The twitter account under the same name only has one tweet which dates back to 2011 saying, "soon". My first thought was that it's someone whose just putting out his stuff in these tiny bits as he makes them. But I really don't know. All I do know is that I'd like more. Full songs and stuff, I love the soft delicate sounds. The slightly distant, sadness of the synths.
