NE-YO v THE DREAM

oh shit, "Fancy" is so so good

lolhaha @ there being a song called "Mr. Yeah" I did not notice that until you said it

Haven't heard the new Muhsinah yet, will do so. Thx 4 the headzup

if "sweat it out" is "purple kisses pt. 2" then "kelly's 12 play" is "luv songs pt. 2" right

lol @ "now we're doing it to dream's love/hate" - kinda wish he'd have cleared up once and for all the spelling snafus. "now we're doing it to dream's love slash hate!"

dunno about the new version of "right side of my brain" - the tone of the song is completely changed

yeah it did, but I like the new version it's much more epic. the demo was a little too sparse.

"you love me baby/then you unlove me baby" is such a great line

I meant "you touch me baby/then you untouch me baby" but yeah

really think this is on an equal footing with the first tbh.

starting to think it might be a little weirder too, under the surface. I might take that back later, the first sounded pretty bonkers for a while. Gonna play this to death before the novelty wears off. Sweat it out is killing me.

don't really watch tv, not that the-dream is likely to show up on Irish tv, but yeah, maybe his vocal range isn't right, but his phrasing is really weird and polyrhythmic and expressive and interesting. On this alb more than the last. Fancy and Sweat it out are unfuckwithable sofar imo.

the back half of this is really weird sonically yeah, esp "fancy" into "right side of my brain"

<4 when those drums come back in at the end of fancy <4

Haha both stupid R and B rubbish.

Fav Bands: UB40, The Kooks, Heaven 17, U2

Yes those are all great bands. I like old soul music like Marvin Gaye but stuff like this is a right load of old rubbish, it's just bad hip hop with some bloke moaning about how he loves his bird on it.

Love vs. Sausage

lol

I Love Music loves some weird stuff.

Freaking out a bit at how good this is. She got it fixed just so I could fuck it up!

ships laughs at me for liking that kind of thing the first time, but The-Dream himself knows he's onto something good.

I haven't heard this yet, but looking forward. I will make a So So Scandalous entry for each song maybe.

Now if they ask you can I sing like Usher, say NO
But I can make you sing like Mariah, ooooooooh

I'm all up on you like a monster truck

Fuck that digga

ditch that digga

speaking of which, would anyone like to assure me there's no songs like "ditch that" on this album before i listen to it?

i don't think there is

what is this dude going to have to do to get his own thread

Didn't realize this was coming out Tuesday! Something to look forward to then.

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

this album is, like, completely incredible

and so BIG

(even) better than love/hate!

"Walkin On the Moon" = awesomeness

^^^

'love vs money' pts 1 and 2 = beyond awesomeness

WOTM also has my favorite Kanye rap in some time (and that synth found all over New Order records circa 1989)

My initial impression is that the record isn't quite as lush or hooky as the first. I REALLY like "Walkin' on the Moon", "Fancy", and especially "Kelly's 12 Play", which somehow lived up the title and then some.

Oh, and "Mr. Yeah" has the most brilliant bit on the album with the whole "lovin' on my ella/ touchin' on my ella/ chillin' with my ella" riff.

haha all this tardy ilm love for the-dream is funny for some reason

i guess i have to check this

damn this is realllly good

get off brainwasher's dick homie

My initial impression is that the record isn't quite as lush or hooky as the first.

i agree with this - i think it's missing something like "purple kisses" or "luv songs" (that said the ballads on this are awesome) (maybe sensual is the word, in terms of production), and i'm not sold on the tranciness of the "love vs. money" pairing, but the sonics in general are just sooo massive. tricky and LOS took it next universe w/ the beats

let it be known though that i wasn't enamored w/ love/hate until feb or march of last year (then it became one of my fav records of the decade) so i know this is going grow on me

here is r&b

you werent enamored of it until two months after it came out!??! sleeping!!

the fuck outta here

there is seriously so much going on in this album...am going to need some time for it to sink in. holy shit, the orchestral climax to 'love vs money pt 2' though.

for those who didn't keep up w/ the leaks compare this demo of "right side of my brain"

http://www.zshare.net/audio/56637281807e9b14/

with the one on the album for a good perspective on how ridiculous these arrangements are

so...what is up with that intro

lol srsly

(even) better than love/hate!

Getting it. I think this is MORE detailed, MORE lush.
