I could not.

What I could do without is the muddy mixing, especially on the opening tracks.

this is good imo

i had just cranked it up when vocoder Kanye (?) comes in on the first track, and twice the volume of the rest of the mix.
for all the noise he's made about how free releases should be eligible for Grammys, you'd think he'd gotten have a better mixing & mastering pass on this.

also i never thought i'd hear Bieber over a Mount Kimbie sample.
― sam jax sax jam (Jordan), Friday, 13 May 2016 13:40 (eight years ago) link
there is so much jesus on this album that it made me feel physically nauseous by the end
like i'd never really connected w/chance on an emotional level and the amount of god-n-family stuff is p much why, and it's so overbearing here
lots of nice beats though but whatever i can't listen to this again

my firm view that christianity is a poison is informed 100% by too much, not too little, exposure to it
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Friday, 13 May 2016 15:25 (eight years ago) link
my firm view is that popular music as we know it literally does not exist without black church music
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 13 May 2016 15:52 (eight years ago) link
i'm sure you can trace the history of music further back than that, not that it's a relevant point to make
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Friday, 13 May 2016 15:58 (eight years ago) link
lol i'm as atheist as could but getting down on this for the gospel speak is laughable imo

― (•̪●) (carne asada), Friday, 13 May 2016 16:23 (eight years ago) link
why is it laughable to have a negative reaction to overbearing christianity?
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Friday, 13 May 2016 16:43 (eight years ago) link
I just don't see that it's overbearing. It's part of the esthetic sure.

Stare at the cue cards, take out the juke partsTake out the God references, just leave the cool parts
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 13 May 2016 16:53 (eight years ago) link
i can assure you my antipathy to christianity is not because it's "uncool"
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Friday, 13 May 2016 16:55 (eight years ago) link
but you understand that the role of christianity is very different on chicago's south side & in its music than it may be for yourself
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 13 May 2016 16:58 (eight years ago) link
i didn't frame my reaction as anything other than a personal response

i have a real allergy to christianity which is why i have trouble with later prefab sprout records but it didn't really bother me on this record at all?
idk its so joyous and fun who cares

i can understand being put off by the relentless positivity, though. brainwasher (who hasn't posted on here in some time ergo i will speak on his behalf lol) told me he's more into vince staples or it resonates more w/ him, and I can understand that pov even if i like chance more; its optimism can be blinding
ideologically im probably also more aligned w/ vince's worldview but musically i much prefer chance

omg that synth bass in the chorus of "Smoke Break."

chance isn't all relentless positivity though and i think that came through a lot on Acid Rap

This feels like the lightbeam gospel that TLOP hinted at but didn't really deliver. I love it.

This might be competing with Lemonade for album of the year.

this is way better lemonade is p bad

i do think he has sort of deemphasized his own rapping... this def shares a sort of structure or maybe ethos w/ the social experiment album where the guests are really foregrounded and he feels more like part of a tapestry than the center of attention. it's obv not as pronounced as surf but it feels more of a piece w/ that than acid rap. similarly there was a sociological perspective on acid rap that i found really illuminating & refreshing and that too has receded a bit prob because the circumstances of his own life have changed drastically.
― J0rdan S., Friday, 13 May 2016 18:59 (eight years ago) link
acid rap was p beats to rhymes trad this one is crazily songy p impressive im liking him more like that, didnt listen to surf
― lag∞n, Friday, 13 May 2016 19:01 (eight years ago) link
yeah i mean this one is obv crazy accomplished on a music & songwriting level and by comparison acid rap feels stripped down. but there was like an overarching aesthetic vision to acid rap that still felt preternatural to me & something like "good ass outro" was just crazy good on a musical level. i do miss that beats to rhymes thing tho, i really was savoring the second "blessings"
― J0rdan S., Friday, 13 May 2016 19:05 (eight years ago) link
is it crazy to admit I like him less when he sings?

Listening to Sunday Candy on repeat, sooooo good. I liked it before, but not like this.
The way his singing is the rhythm track in Blessings is so good.
