tho honestly I'm kind of underwhelmed/disappointed with everything I've heard so far besides "Sweat It Out" and "Lemme See The Booty" (wanna hear the finished version of "Right Side of My Brain", the demo is good). Not that "My Love," etc. are bad - they're definitely not - it's just I was expecting more since I love the first record so much... this Dream knock-off song >>>> LvM so far:

wow. 4.5 stars in RS. that's a good look for T-D

kinda shocking, too. when's the last time they gave a score like that to an R&B act, much less a non-superstar R&B act?

yeah i know, i'm just trying to think of anything that could be considered modern rap or r&b
― wow heaven is cool (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 5 March 2009 22:48 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah it was a good example to bring up

and on top of it, the wayne one was a long time coming from them cuz they had been writing features about him like every two months waiting for the album to drop
― wow heaven is cool (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 5 March 2009 22:50 (fifteen years ago) link
i mean they gave KING 1 1/2 star or something - this is very odd and kind of heartening tbh

Not as great as Love/Hate (could not have expected that), but very good.

Mariah's voice coming in to start the 2nd verse of "My Love" juss made me really happy.

Weirdly Mariah makes perfect sense in his production style, where excessive, overwrought singing meets excessive, overwrought baroque beats.
― Plaxico (I know, right?), Friday, 6 March 2009 01:13 (fifteen years ago) link
straight off liking this a little more than Love/Hate, but I'm worried that this is just because it is more straightforward frontloaded pop affair where LH hid some of the best hooks 3/4 into tracks (Nikki!). Put It Down is nicely demented tho.

I don't really get the "rubbish singer" stuff levelled at this guy rilly. Put It Down has a really great vocal performance (or should that be performances? this is some Tusk shit right here) where the cut up half line jumps are really addictive, great way to crack out the rhythms of his lines.
Sweat it out what do you remind me of?

plaxico have you ever heard dude sing live on TV or anything like that? he uses (NEEDS) a ton of subtle un-T-Pain-like AutoTune
― let "free dom" ring (some dude), Friday, 6 March 2009 02:18 (fifteen years ago) link
who gives a shit
anywayz the RS review is obviously retroactive props for his first, probably-better album
― peep game on gas prices (deej), Friday, 6 March 2009 02:24 (fifteen years ago) link
The only times he busts out with the auto-tune abuse on the (first, haven't heard the new one yet or paid that close attention to the leaks) album are "Mama" and then end of "She Needs My Love". The former wins points for being the least obvious moment to do so. And, as deej says

rev i was saying that he uses (not abuses) AutoTune in the non-showy T-Pain way, "Mama" is the exception where it's audible.
