maybe I should just sit down and listen to it like I just listened to that TI song, which wasn't bad

I need to properly re-listen to King, it's something I like rather than love.

THIRTIETH??? Really frikkin curious as to what you guys have put in the top 10 now. How? Why? If this isn't a seminal album of the decade...
― abcfsk, Monday, 12 July 2010 20:39 (fourteen years ago) link
wow what a horrible cover, never seen that before (re: Blackout)
― gordon lishification (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:40 (fourteen years ago) link

i thought those were actually solid placings for 'king' and 'blackout' -- maybe it's cuz they were all much, much lower until the last few days

i mean, blackout actually is dope, but, yeah
um, Blackout was not a seminal album of the decade, like not by a long shot
"Gimme More" is rad but nothing else about this album or Brit at the time it came out made me at all interested in listening to it.
― MOATY I'M HERE (HI DERE), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:41 (fourteen years ago) link
"get naked (i got a plan)" is surely the #1 song title of the decade tho
i wish all song titles had (i got a plan) after them
― hoos gossage (J0rdan S.), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:42 (fourteen years ago) link
i think of both as classics of their genre, not just personal favs - best hip-hop album of the half-decade and best pop album of the half-decade should be top 20 at the VERY least
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:43 (fourteen years ago) link
I wish all song titles had "get naked" preceding them
― goth (crüt), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:43 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm pretty sure I voted for Blackout. I was so obsessed with it when it came out, haven't played it in a while though. Heaven on Earth was always my favourite song. Freakshow was the only song I didn't really get into.
― Kitchen Person, Monday, 12 July 2010 20:44 (fourteen years ago) link
"Get Naked (Lyin' Ass Bitch)" by Fishbone"Get Naked (Open Letter (To A Landlord))" by Living Colour"Get Naked (Touch It)" by Busta Rhymes
okay yes you are actually convincing me
― MOATY I'M HERE (HI DERE), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:44 (fourteen years ago) link
best hip-hop album of the half-decade
lol not even close
― gordon lishification (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:45 (fourteen years ago) link
haha i loved "freakshow" and its dubstep wobble. love the way her voice gets pitched down so suddenly midway through
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:45 (fourteen years ago) link
i can't even begin
― plax (ico), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:46 (fourteen years ago) link
uh, yay for T.I. and DJ Quik & Kurupt?
― nutz OO)))) (The Reverend), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:46 (fourteen years ago) link
one of my favourite albums of all time, top three easily
I think Tiarnan spent 20 minutes of that half-hour talking about Get Naked (I Have A Plan) alone - it's pretty good, as I'm now hearing
― RIP la petite mort (acoleuthic), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:47 (fourteen years ago) link
I still like "Gimme More" more
― MOATY I'M HERE (HI DERE), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:47 (fourteen years ago) link
something about the way the male/female vocals emerge out of one another

there's a particular dead-eyed sleaze stomp to "Gimme More" that I find transcendent that nothing else I've heard off of the album has lived up to
― MOATY I'M HERE (HI DERE), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:48 (fourteen years ago) link
i remember being underwhelmed by "gimme more" when it first emerged but i love it now, it's so sleazy and drugged-out. one of the first additions to my stripper in my mind itunes playlist iirc.
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:48 (fourteen years ago) link
ok seriously you guys
― RIP la petite mort (acoleuthic), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:48 (fourteen years ago) link
ugh @ sufjan stevens placing above t.i. and britney
repeat for most of the albums to come, i guess :(
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:49 (fourteen years ago) link
Blackout is fine but "seminal" is like the opposite of what it is
xpost sufjan stevens oh god no. no. noooooooo
― goth (crüt), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:49 (fourteen years ago) link
"radar" is my true jam off blackout
― hoos gossage (J0rdan S.), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:49 (fourteen years ago) link
in all honesty I couldn't make it past 15 seconds into "Get Naked (I Got A Plan)" before I turned it off so it may get awesome but it didn't grab me initially
xp: yea Lex, it's that sleaze mixed in with the robotic stomp that gets to me
― MOATY I'M HERE (HI DERE), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:49 (fourteen years ago) link
King and BlaQKout have doubled the number of albums I voted for in the list today, so I'm not mad.

Get Naked (I Got A Vacuum)
― hoos gossage (J0rdan S.), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:50 (fourteen years ago) link
another 2005 album, along with Separation Sunday and Bloc Party, that I loved back then and never listen to. Don't have any antipathy for him though.

"it's britney, bitch"
^^unparalleled way to open an album

Sufjan can go sit on a tack
― MOATY I'M HERE (HI DERE), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:51 (fourteen years ago) link
do you guys think that britney really had a plan or do you think that right when she was gonna get naked she realized that she didn't have plan after all
― hoos gossage (J0rdan S.), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:52 (fourteen years ago) link
i love the lyrics on gimme more, the way the papps are photographing her, shes dancing in the club, their doing it in the back of a limo. there's this weird sameness, where everything is a display and a performance and the arousal is all abt exhibitionism, like the walls keep falling away between the different parts of her life, its an exact reflection of how we thought of britney when this came out, when she was literally everywhere in the news.

illinois is nice enough but michigan was his Great Album imo..has a very quiet, powerful sincerity to it that the more recent stuff lacks

you do have a knack for treating something really boring and unremarkable like the most amazing thing in the world

^^^I am listening to this song atm and appreciate this post xps to T
― RIP la petite mort (acoleuthic), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:53 (fourteen years ago) link
i get the impression that britney's planning circa blackout was limited to the very short term, like the next 5 minutes

Blackout was in my Stylus ballot for top ten of the deacade. "Heaven and Earth" = best album track.

Who are the people that still give half a shit about Sufjan Stevens' theme albums so far removed from their actual release dates? I want to know you by name.
