Dr. Luke is a much stronger parallel to 2002 Neptunes than those dudes

i mean i don't necessarily agree w/ josh's premise entirely, but it's a mildly interesting and adventurous tracklist -- but i'd say the same for usher's new album, idk
― fapper don (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 31 May 2012 03:10 (twelve years ago) link
how many major label albums can have a diplo production credit before that ceases to be shorthand for 'adventurous'
― some dude, Thursday, 31 May 2012 03:12 (twelve years ago) link
oh, i don't really give a shit about diplo, but his a&r people def stepped further out of the box than i would've expected.
― fapper don (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 31 May 2012 03:14 (twelve years ago) link
i mean, look, it's not like 'justified' was that adventurous either, for the record -- working with tim and the neptunes wasn't exactly novel

i dunno if you'd asked me a year ago who was gonna work on this album i probably would've said frank ocean and no i.d. (xpost)

(And I like it better than any of the other club thrash anthems I've heard lately. Also, "Boyfriend.")

No talk abt "Die In Your Arms?" I really must be the only one who loves the shit outta this song.

idk, the album doesn't often rise above this minimal "just ok" level for me. it just kinda plods along with its competent-but-sorta-limp hooks, edm-y beats and diaphanous lyrics and doesn't hit much of a stride for the most part. and the title track is just embarrassing, i can't even put myself through it again.
(i love how mere seconds after i thought, "wow, his voice sounds unusually annoying here" during "right here" drake entered the track and instantly one-upped him in that regard.)
that said, i do like a number of the songs on this album -- "boyfriend", "thought of you" (which i would say does actually 'hit a stride'), "catching feelings" (which appropriately enough is one of the only tracks that actually captures a ~feeling~ for me, however uncomplicated), "as long as you love me"
i'm sure many people will like it (including people who never liked anything he did before) but i'm not even sure this is even negligibly better than his previous material
― teledyldonix, Friday, 22 June 2012 18:21 (eleven years ago) link
nicki minaj's verse is oddly beautiful to me despite the lol-worthy wiener/selena rhyme. love love love her delivery. JUSTIN - BIEBER!
"take you" and "catching feelings" are my other highlights, as well as the first 3 tracks which i already knew were all A+
― uberweiss, Saturday, 23 June 2012 01:29 (eleven years ago) link
they kinda leaked all the best songs early, also bonus tracks > over half the shit on the album
the first six or so songs are awesome... "catching feelings" is the one ballad that is almost borderline acceptable
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 23 June 2012 01:33 (eleven years ago) link
i like the drake song. in partic i like the scratching.
― hardhouse banter (tpp), Saturday, 23 June 2012 11:43 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i like that song a lot... that vein of drake r&b is pretty catnip-ish for me. and the scratching is choice.

the video is hilarious romeo + juliet / bonnie + clyde running away from her day w/ sepia toned makeout memories stuff. and then it ends with a battered and bruised and bloody biebz getting his ass kicked by his love interest's father.
