tokn Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 it sounds quite commercialised. To be honest: After reading the interview and listening to "The Hope" I was hoping for this album being even more commercialised than it is. After a first listen, I don't like "Personality", I only like some tracks, but not in a very strong way. The best track by far is "The Hope" for me, because there Scuba's commercialism really works out and makes fun. Most of the other tracks are inbetween being old Scuba and a new, more approachable and dancy one and in my ears it sounds very dull and uninteresting. So: I expected a smash in the face from Scuba and I didn't get neither one thing nor another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDobalina Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 So: I expected a smash in the face from Scuba and I didn't get neither one thing nor another. But surely you didn't get that which was not intended as neither commercial nor esoteric, no? edit:semantics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deep Fried Everything Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 tomorrow! Excellent news. Triangulation was a stormer. This guy's production chops are outstanding. this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest abracadabra Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 THIS SHIT IS THE FUCKING TITS MAN. MASSIVE This is for sure going to be a huge huge huge Summer favorite of mine basking in the California sun, WHAT WHAT (esp. tracks like "July" and "NE1BUTU") God damn, I'm just gonna put this in my top list for 2012. Listening and 3/4 through and it's just captivating my inner groove man, nah mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest abracadabra Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Oh and by the way, it's not dark like Triangulation, it's upbeat and can be club material but it's better than Adrenalin IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirm Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Finally got this and enjoying more that I thought I would, even the hope has grown on me tho that vocal still grates! But yeah its a wicked good fun dance record, sounded ace blasting it out in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nene multiple assgasms Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 yeah, the album intro and the vocals and lyrics on hope are embarrassing, but overall it's a nice album. I still wish there were more tracks like ne1butu on it, more chicagoey stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still wish there were more tracks like ne1butu on it, more chicagoey stuff. why are the lyrics and vocals embarrassing? with "the hope", scuba pretty much nailed it. what do you mean with chicagoey-stuff? the more i listen to this the crazier it gets. friday party at berghain with scuba playing solo and in the morning back to back with another guy. boddika is there as well. hopefully he will play all the bangers from this LP.

tokn Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 he's the new kanye right? come on. these lyrics really catch the feeling of going out clubbing. in quite a bitter way. "got the system got the system". just using the same word at the beginning of the setence doesn't make it kanye, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUNKUM Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 The lyrics remind me of Freeland's We Want Your Soul when written out like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirm Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 Its not really the lyrics on The Hope that bother me tho they are a bit daft, its more the sound of the guys voice that annoys me. But anyhow am loving the album, had it on in the car since the weekend is quality driving music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer the more optimistic sounding tracks such as ne1butu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
