i love the harmonies on this record and they sort of create a thru line back to the smeared atmospherics of 'beach house'

Horses In the Stable is my fav on here I think. Solid through Miracle/whatever is a great stretch.
― I know when that Ott line zings (Spottie), Wednesday, 18 November 2015 20:00 (eight years ago) link
yeah that part is great. "miracle" is really cool and "wherever" is a great beach house style track with more upgraded production. i actually really like the kanye/diddy track too, it's funny that he did an overt gospel record with them.
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 18 November 2015 20:51 (eight years ago) link
love the line in horses in stable that's like 'met a girl in catalina, took it down last time i see her'
― flopson, Wednesday, 18 November 2015 21:33 (eight years ago) link
i need to spend a little more time w/ this
hear blase all the time and i think it is pretty good but has reached saturation point for me at least
― marcos, Wednesday, 18 November 2015 21:40 (eight years ago) link
i keep going back to solid, so many great lines
― thom yorke state of mind (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 18 November 2015 22:20 (eight years ago) link
i just keep running "credit" and "miracle/whenever" on a loop
a bunch of this album -- including primarily those two songs -- were done by d'mile, hero of dirty money "shades"
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 19 November 2015 06:46 (eight years ago) link
Nice. yeah credit is superb
― I know when that Ott line zings (Spottie), Thursday, 19 November 2015 07:57 (eight years ago) link
credit is my shit yeah. back half of this drags a bit though. 'bring it out of me' filed under mustardwave that totally misses the mark
― tpp, Thursday, 19 November 2015 17:23 (eight years ago) link
i like that one but it's weird, it's like just a mustard song on fast forward. bizarre that he worked with stargate and ended up with a song that is such a mustard rip.
but yeah it seems like they weren't really sure what to do with the singles. "sittin pretty" (which i love) transitions into "when i see ya" pretty well but "blase" and "only right" are def just tacked on there, and then "bring it out of me" feels tacked on. "actress" is kind of a letdown but the sa ra track is dope.
the first run of 10 songs i find pretty flawless tho
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 19 November 2015 17:32 (eight years ago) link
yeah the kelz colab is disapoiinting for sure. sa ra track is out of place but individually good. track with jagged edge is ok but otherwise the first 2/3 of this is great.
― I know when that Ott line zings (Spottie), Thursday, 19 November 2015 21:46 (eight years ago) link
he sells horses in the stable so well i come out of it somehow feeling sad for him
― I know when that Ott line zings (Spottie), Thursday, 19 November 2015 21:49 (eight years ago) link
guilty lol @ the analogy btw
― I know when that Ott line zings (Spottie), Thursday, 19 November 2015 22:10 (eight years ago) link
i guilty lol throughout the whole album
― flopson, Thursday, 19 November 2015 22:13 (eight years ago) link
i have a feeling his next project will be better...he made his big major label album, now i want beach house 3...something in between this & airplane mode (which was recorded in a weekend) is my ideal Ty i think
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 20 November 2015 17:35 (eight years ago) link
LA turned out a lot better than the leaked version
i think this is pretty much the ideal major label ty record but i wouldn't be surprised if he did a future-style thing and tried to go back to his roots to reboot his career a bit
― J0rdan S., Friday, 20 November 2015 19:19 (eight years ago) link
yeah i don't necessarily think this album could have been better. just that now that its out, he'll be a little more free to be like, 'fuck it' and not chase the Current Sound
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 20 November 2015 21:40 (eight years ago) link
This album has so many (conflicting but) working definitions of "smooth".
― Tim F, Tuesday, 24 November 2015 08:18 (eight years ago) link
it's the middle stretch of this album that really sags imo. obv never listening to "la" again but "saved" through to "horses in the stable" is pretty impeccable, then the trey and sevyn collabs are good-not-great, but then "miracle/wherever" and "guard down" completely halt the momentum...they sound so scratchily recorded and aimless and go on forever. then it only really regains its stride with the banger singles shoved at the end
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 24 November 2015 13:19 (eight years ago) link
feel like "credit" could have leaned a lot more on its humorous premise...ty doesn't do half of what prime kellz would have done with the potentially ludicrous hook and the guest spot the song needs is sevyn running with the humour not being bland and mushy
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 24 November 2015 13:20 (eight years ago) link
def see how "blasé"/"only right"/"bring it out of me" feel tacked on but they're also better songs than much of the album
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 24 November 2015 13:24 (eight years ago) link
what's wrong with la?
― flopson, Tuesday, 24 November 2015 14:19 (eight years ago) link
"Miracle"/""wherever" is an album highlight IMO
I don't think blase feels tacked on its just kinda there
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 24 November 2015 15:02 (eight years ago) link
> "What's wrong with la
traffic, mostly.
― husked, tonal wails (irrational), Tuesday, 24 November 2015 15:03 (eight years ago) link
i like that sevyn part especially 'you want a cookie but that's how it should be'
― tpp, Tuesday, 24 November 2015 16:56 (eight years ago) link
Miracle/Wherever is too long but it features some of Ty's best singing.
The arrangements throughout are gorgeous, but my favorite moment is Credit's piano/sax coda
― thom yorke state of mind (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 24 November 2015 18:12 (eight years ago) link
here's where i admit rtc was right & i think this album is kind of disappointing on the whole
individual moments shine for me (esp "solid") but i think its mainly that the erm sexiness of beach house—the louche lothario has been replaced not so much by a scumbag but by someone going thru the motions in a way that gets no enjoyment from it
idk. im optimistic about beach house 3
i also think his EP with Wiz Khalifa this year was #actually pretty tight, even if it makes you feel like you're taking wiz khalifa's side in some domestic drama
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 10 December 2015 20:09 (eight years ago) link
wrong this album is a classic
― flopson, Thursday, 10 December 2015 20:10 (eight years ago) link
i don't really want him to be sexy. his misogyny sorta has that z-ro style 'ho just leave me alone playing xbox by my lonesome' almost cozy vibe. also the album has, like, musical humor that complements lyrical humour in a great way; the background vocs on "Know Ya" (strookiiin')
― flopson, Thursday, 10 December 2015 20:15 (eight years ago) link
i thought what jordan wrote about credit applies to most of the album actually, the songwriting stands alone. like "Straight up" is a how had no one phrased that verse melody before
― flopson, Thursday, 10 December 2015 20:18 (eight years ago) link
an album doesnt really need every style and every guest kinda a weird approach some imo, def jams on there tho, at least one major turd too
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 December 2015 20:44 (eight years ago) link
the Kanye moment is a turd but such a quality lol that i listen to it every time
this album is almost entirely stylistically coherent, like remove track 2 and then everything up to blasé has ml the same vibe, at which pt it's refreshing to switch gears
― flopson, Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:10 (eight years ago) link
literally an insane statement
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:15 (eight years ago) link
i really don't think of this as an album that jumps around a lot stylistically, the classic soul samples tie it all together. even the metro boomin production sounds like temptations
― flopson, Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:21 (eight years ago) link
you think LA , straight up, horses, know ya, credit, miracle/whenever, sittin pretty have v different styles?
― flopson, Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:24 (eight years ago) link
need to go back to beach house but i do feel i have overplayed his joyless ogling somewhat, still not real sexi but occasionally capable of a kind of ironized pat-on-the-ass affectionate warmth
also lol i love 'saved', wild out to that shit every time
think d-40 has a deeper investment and sees an extra upper echelon to him than others perhaps, not criticising cos in some ways understandable but mainly cos of that i was more about addressing the expectation/disappointment matrix for an album that otherwise is p above average okay imo
― r|t|c, Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:26 (eight years ago) link
never a classic though, flops be trippin
lol @ pay on the ass warmth
i don't remember beach house very vividly, should revis
― flopson, Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:27 (eight years ago) link
revis the bea hou and reconsid your opin
― coombes gang (some dude), Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:31 (eight years ago) link
ive prob over listened to this tbh, like when u can sing along to most of 'bring it out of me' :-/
― flopson, Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:32 (eight years ago) link
lolll yeah that is doing way too much
still jel of that interaction compared with armchair pontificating tho tbf
― r|t|c, Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:45 (eight years ago) link
i loved "saved" so much
still haven't really spent time with this record, looking at the tracklisting exhausts me
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:47 (eight years ago) link
lost my headphones so ive been listened to music on my shitty laptop speakers for months. BUT the other day i put together my old hifi and first thing i played on it was 'horses in the stable'. shit sounded so good it was a quasi-religious experience. ty$ has a great attention to detail when it comes to sound design.
― tpp, Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:50 (eight years ago) link
yeah his nerd side really comes out on this record, it's biggest strength imo
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:51 (eight years ago) link
to be clear yeah i don't think this is a bad album by any stretch, just disappointing w/r/t what i hoped for
individual moments shine when taken out of context but it bugs me that when 'blase' comes on that i kind of check in, because i never even liked that song much in the first place
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 10 December 2015 22:00 (eight years ago) link

“Don’t sleep on me” and “stare” are eh but otherwise
Big Krit sales are all sales no streams though, ty will do well if streams pick up
