wow fuck me, i've been sleeping on this album like crazy. loving some of these deep cuts, "buh bye" is killing me
― guardian nagle (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 19 January 2010 02:32 (fourteen years ago) link
i've sort of slept on this album except for imma star but i think theres a really good chance i would like it?
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 19 January 2010 02:34 (fourteen years ago) link
i really want to like this album based on posts on ilm but i can barely listen to this guy sing longer than 15 mins and not many of these songs hold up to "birthday sex"
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 19 January 2010 02:38 (fourteen years ago) link
i love the production on "birthday sex" but songwise i think "imma star" and "buh bye" are in the same conversation
― guardian nagle (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 19 January 2010 02:39 (fourteen years ago) link
see that's the weird thing--i think i like his singing?
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 19 January 2010 02:40 (fourteen years ago) link
what else has Mick Schultz produced? sounded like LOS to me
xp yeah his voice has really grown on me too
― guardian nagle (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 19 January 2010 02:41 (fourteen years ago) link
whoa why did i capitialize mick schultz there
it sounds very teenage to me-- it has that reedy quality a la beiber tbh
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 19 January 2010 02:41 (fourteen years ago) link
"buh bye" is great and so is "my ride"

this could get me in trouble but kinda sounds like a much more confident and sound chris brown
― guardian nagle (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 19 January 2010 02:43 (fourteen years ago) link
I really like that trick where part of the beat drops out and it's just him singing the chorus or whatever, like towards the end of 'imma star' and 'my ride'
― cogito, ergo some dude (dyao), Tuesday, 19 January 2010 02:44 (fourteen years ago) link
sarge how do you feel about "break up to make up"? that song is a pure joy to me.
― HOTT LUNCH II HARDEEZ (some dude), Tuesday, 19 January 2010 02:45 (fourteen years ago) link
chris brown is a better comparison than bieber yeah -- but i think chris's songs work more because of their teen pop trappings
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 19 January 2010 02:47 (fourteen years ago) link
the production on "raindrops" !!
― guardian nagle (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 19 January 2010 02:49 (fourteen years ago) link
ship i really dig that song except for the insanely retarded metaphor in the chorus -- what's with this song & the new jt/timbo & fast food? anyway, the production on this album definitely surprised me -- altho it prob shouldnt have bcuz of how many subtle production tricks are in "birthday sex" -- and it's def why i keep wanting to like the album
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 19 January 2010 02:49 (fourteen years ago) link
i've kinda tuned out the lyrics -- "break up/make up" is a big red flag at lazy couplets ahoy -- but the vocals and the melody, especially on the bridge, are so great. baby James and I have bopped along to that song many a time.

^^how can anyone dislike the song now
― guardian nagle (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 19 January 2010 03:04 (fourteen years ago) link
i held off listening to the album for ages b/c "birthday sex" was so perfect, but in that fragile don't-know-if-i-want-any-more way - it's a lot better than i thought it would be, but i think i agree w/jordan about his voice - it doesn't bother me in small doses but so much reediness over 45 mins is a bit much.

i'm streaming this right now--i think i just really like the sonics of it enough to carry the parts where the songs or his voice aren't quite up to par? so i'm like on the cusp of purchasing it but with my self-imposed 2 records/week limit not totally sure if/when that'll happen.
― call all destroyer, Monday, 25 January 2010 18:29 (fourteen years ago) link
i'm so glad i put this on my ballot, just listened again today and it just gets better

I was just listening to 'raindrops' on headphones and when the thunder sound happened I actually took my off my headphones and looked out the window

"imma star" is on constant rotation here on kauai right now and i'm totally hooked. that little vocal glissando on "ice" is genius.
― pshrbrn, Thursday, 28 January 2010 04:20 (fourteen years ago) link
"imma star" is so good to nod your head to
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Thursday, 28 January 2010 08:59 (fourteen years ago) link
did i mention that starting all over is the classic deep cut
― plaxico (I know, right?), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 00:35 (fourteen years ago) link
OTM, besides the singles which are all incredible the can't-live-without-em cuts are "starting all over," "my sunshine," and "buh bye"

i shall always be inordinately fond of this album, the one thing that felt like it really came right out of nowhere to steal my heart in 2009.
and the kid had good videos too.

Agree re the Jeremiah album, endlessly pleasurable to listen to.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 3 February 2010 01:30 (fourteen years ago) link
haha that reminds me whenever i search for one of his videos on youtube it always autocorrects to 'jeremiah'
― rasta batman gigolo (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 01:35 (fourteen years ago) link
I have a Google Autocorrect in my brain it seems.

i dunno it's weird, i never really thought we'd ever hear from this guy again for some reason...?

inevitable procession of the luda verse makes this track seem more slight and generic than it really is, needed to assert itself a tad longer before and maybe even during. still v v v good though - schulz is a beast, like who else other than these guys would bother chipmunking the chorus so very lightly like at 3mins
― r|t|c, Saturday, 5 June 2010 13:45 (thirteen years ago) link
hey what a good song

and yeah the schulz production is great, he really owns this sound
― fman29.5 (k3vin k.), Saturday, 5 June 2010 17:58 (thirteen years ago) link
I like, but could do without the Luda verse really (though on first listen that could just be knee-jerk thanks to Bieber)
― billy, Saturday, 5 June 2010 18:04 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah luda's unnecessary but doesn't really take away from it for me - def hope the next album is light on guests
― fman29.5 (k3vin k.), Saturday, 5 June 2010 18:10 (thirteen years ago) link
first album is a classic to me now
who is schulz?
