6/7/2011, imma drop that body work / fuck my brains out double single (TERIUS NASH aka THE-DREAM, LOVE IV: anticipation and adoration)

Well I'll be very disappointed if I don't.

"fuck my brains out" is really dope tho

longneck dont you just like everything tho

lol an "anomaly" wtf, why do i even bother

fuck my brains out IS really dope tho

i will rep for "fuck my brains out", and blame it for making me start this thread of disaster

Feel like a lot of you all are posting in absolutes. Artists don't have to be geniuses or trash, they can be inconsistent or somewhere in between.

I'm also not completely sure that The-Dream's recent misfires are predicative of his future output. A lot of them I can write off as reactions to his tenuous commercial footing. It feels like the guy is still trying to suss out where he stands, so I'm comfortable withholding judgement until he figures out where he wants to go from here

Thank you. This attitude here has been bugging the fuck out of me lately.

Which is why I don't understand longneck's approach. I want the Pistol Annies album to be good but I won't "expect" to love it.

i don't feel like anyone's posting in absolutes. terius has gone from an imperial phase where he made some of the best music around to becoming more inconsistent to putting out nothing but ideas-void trash for nearly two years. no one's saying "everything he puts out in the future will be terrible", we're observing that his period of greatness has come to an end, as per an almost universal pattern we've witnessed over and over again

i mean would people get excited about a new neptunes album now? or would everyone hum and haw and probably mock a lil bit because their time has passed?

i'd wait till i heard it and judge it on its merits
tho i'd make assumptions based on my prior experience
(i'm white btw)

Neptunes is a fair-ish comparison, but I feel like 1. new music from The-Dream is still a rarer, more exciting commodity than new Neptunes music and 2. Neptunes have been off their game way longer than Terius, so there's more precedent for disappointment

longneck dont you just like everything tho

Hardly, lol. I just prefer to speak about the music I love.
But I do find it really weird that someone will insist that 1977, Body Work/FMBO, Love Slave, Pieces, Kill the Lights, 1+1 (Terius version), Slow It Down and Tron are "nothing but ideas-void trash" - those are some of my favorite records over the past two years. I mean, we could rate them and I wouldn't give every one of them a perfect ten, but given the opposition I'll risk speaking in absolutes just this once.

there ARE people who still worship everything new the Neptunes/NERD do. that's the real reason OFWGKTA are scary.

I felt too embarrassed to post this but since this thread is veering towards scientific analysis of whether or not future dream jams will flourish, this song is apparently not on the lp. somebody asked him, he said it's just for soundcloud.

there are some jams on this record but it seemed awfully long, i could hear it opening up but could also hear some tracks landing with a bit of a thud

the beyonce feature is really fantastic tho

he kept talking up jodeci and timbaland and how it's an album heavily influenced by 90s R&B

i told him that there are people out there that really love the electrik red album and he literally sighed and said "the good ole days..."

also said that he wrote 9 of those songs in one day

and that every time he sees solange she talks about that album

also said that he wrote 9 of those songs in one day

fuckkkkkkk that's up there with god creating heaven and earth on the first day of creation

and solange saw that it was good.

he literally sighed and said "the good ole days..."

even terius knows

look on my works ye mighty

and fuck my brains out *synths start playing*

maybe ter/iu/s 2.0 meant the good ole days when he could scoop up pawgs without being challenged to street races all the time

lmao what a bizarre video

still a dope song imo *shrugs*

*low-5 for ter/i/us 2.0*

also said that he wrote 9 of those songs in one day

I hope one of these is 'P Is For Power' because the image of Terius just sitting down with a blank piece of paper and writing the word 'PUSSY' in big letters down the side is just too funny.

in flawless calligraphy

the physical deluxe edition of the album folds up into a pyramid

he said he's started "packaging wars" with beyonce and jay-z and the like

lmao matt

oh cool when did terius sign to mo'wax

What happens with all the songs that were supposed to go on the double though?

i think the album has like 15 songs on it, it's pretty long

I'm usually happy with 12. It was supposed to have 30 though.

pretty glad this album doesn't have 30 songs

tbh i have no real expectations for a new terry album, so i'd actually prefer a longer record where he just dumps out everything he's working on so i can pick and choose my own favorites

you guys don't want to hear a double-disc version of this album, i promise

ha ha
ty for your rundown jordan. i am still really psyched for this, sad there is no kells on it though.

do you have any ontological observations about the real life dream. i just read a review of the listening session that made dream & timbaland sound like the odd couple.

yeah i was not at the one where tim showed up

he opened up a little bit towards the end of ours but it was just a few of us so it was pretty subdued. he's funny though.

What's your main objection to the songs you didn't immediately like, j0rdan?

on some it sounded like he was fighting the songs. like the one with kelly rowland gets really loud for the chorus in an awkward/unorganic way. there was another one like that too.

also on some the songwriting was just kinda weak

but these things are not a great way to evaluate music!

you just sat down and listened to the album start to finish with him and some critics?

he drives you around in his car & you both plug in headsets to the kind of walkmans that have two headphone outs

and then you have sex?
