NE-YO v THE DREAM

lol srsly

(even) better than love/hate!

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

Also more contrast, like the most swirling immersive arrangements can pull away to arid drums.

the intro is so weird

other than that it's really really good from beginning to end. i have only listened to it once and haven't read any of the discussion on here since I dl'ed it, but it's such a complete album. it's like AOR&B. very dope.

intro on mine is just nine seconds of hiss.

the intro is so weird

question is, wtf is it? at first, i took it as a projector revving up -- meant to signify the album's "cinematic" sound. could it be the sound of a money printer in action?

it's a cash register?

It sounds SO FAMILIAR

lol are we talking about the same nine second throwaway intro here? what's the big deal?

yeah more posts about the nine second intro please

i was just thinking about starting an album's poll for this but then i realized that no one would realize that it was a joke

"put it down" is iiiiiiiiiiiit

was he any good from the back?
you say he put it down he put it down he put it down

Can't stop listening to Sweat It Out

"call me ali the way i knocked your ass out" takes on a chilling context post-chris brown

rap verse in "put it down" is pretty great

I love "Put It Down" for those flanged LOS drums that I may never tire of, but I feel like he's getting a little too confident in his vocals there maybe, whereas the rest of the album his voice isn't bothering me as much

i'm glad "Booty" is demoted to bonus track (has any 'lead single' ever been dropped as quickly? shit was out 2 weeks before they switched to "Rockin'), starting to think i shouldn't have even put it on iTunes.

yeah i like it but they should've just left it off, it you have it on itunes and let the album play through it kind of ruins the flow as opposed to it ending w/ "kellys 12 play"

and like anyone who likes that song already has it

I dudes sound corny talking about it IMO

Surprised how much I like the beefed up version of "Right Side of my Brain" since I was such a big fan fan of the demo. It definitely works... those drums are just huge. Not sure I like it more than the orig (I really dig the sparse feel), but it's nice to have the two different versions.

This album is good on first listen, but I can tell it's gonna take a bit. Made me go back and listen to Love/Hate for comparison and DAMN, shit is so good. There's just no way this could top that.

awesome

the melody right before Kanye's verse is so so great

A-T-L-A-N-T-A-G-A THAT WHERE I STAY
I GET MY MOTHERFUCKIN FREAK ON UH-LIKE EVERY DAY

I don't think this record is mixed as well as LoveHate. A lot of the harmonic elements that were very clearly defined on the first album linger in the background here.

THANK U 4 THE BIRTHDAY CAKE
LOOK AT U LOOKIN LIKE A MILKSHAKE

my god today I think I pissed alot of friends IRL by not shutting up about this album

it doesn't help that I only discovered Love/Hate about a month ago and I still haven't really stopped listening to it...
with this my The-Dream obsession is really becoming unhealthy (BUT OMG THIS ALBUM!!!!)

putitdownputidownputitdownputidownputitdownputidown

Is this really true that this is not getting released in the UK? So hopeless it makes me want to cry :(

tpp ill send u a copy

not really

fuck u you and your blatant copyright infringing JOrdan I ALREADY HAVE IT BTW

i meant a physical copy

i would pay top dollah for a physical copy of this srsly, it's £17.09 on amazon.co.uk pre-order

clean the cd,
check for scratches,
get up on my mattress,
now we doing it,
to Kelly's 12 Play

her titties like woooooooOOOOOOOOOO

"rockin that shit" was (and is) a great single, but it's crazy how much the song sounds like an album opener. the build up with the huge synths, basically the first 20 or so seconds seem like a big prelude to an epic album.

i've only listened to it once, wasn't sober so i just started it up again

this album makes me antisocial

i dont know if this is better than the first one

don't think so

jordan ain't fuckin around

srsly tho

Wau!

i can't tell if it's afterglow or not but i think this might be better than love/hate

"love vs money" -> "love vs money 2" -> "fancy" -> "right side of my brain" = cinema

^^^^^^^^THIS

After several listens, I'm disappointed. A few songs have weak melodies affixed to dull lyrics. And these guys are repeating production tricks something awful. The last one didn't sound like a winner either on first listen, so I'm still optimistic.
