this is amazing but way too short!
― matos w. k. iw (k3vin k.), Monday, 22 June 2009 03:57 (fourteen years ago) link
Grabbing it now. I haven't even listened to Bad Habits or Pretty Wings yet, so I could experience it as a whole.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 22 June 2009 04:13 (fourteen years ago) link
"love you" is a force
― matos w. k. iw (k3vin k.), Monday, 22 June 2009 05:32 (fourteen years ago) link
That's my favorite early on, too.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 22 June 2009 05:33 (fourteen years ago) link

this is still downloading so I'm listening to Embrya instead
― s4rgent boy tell em (The Reverend), Monday, 22 June 2009 05:59 (fourteen years ago) link
After three listens, I like it, but I'm kinda disappointed all the same. I feel like none of the tracks I hadn't heard quite live up to the promise of "Pretty Wings" and "Bad Habits". Oddly enough, I think the instrumental outro might be my favorite thing other than those two songs. It's better than Urban Hang Suite, which devolves into smooth jazz a lot of the time, but I don't think I like it as much as Embrya. I know trying to rank it at this point (or maybe at any point) is stupid, but whatever. On the other hand, I've listened to it thrice in two days, so he's doing something right.
― body merkin (The Reverend), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 07:05 (fourteen years ago) link
Looks like I'll be seeing him live tomorrow night if things go according to plan. Will report back.
― body merkin (The Reverend), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 07:06 (fourteen years ago) link
same here i think. i like all the songs here, even really like or LOVE at least three of them, but its 37 minute runtime feels too slight to really knock me over. a few of the songs feel half-finished, and i think the album suffers on the whole as a result. i guess after hearing the first couple advance tracks i was expecting something erykah-level, but the rest just seems good right now. not necessarily a bad thing, and still one of the best r&b albums of the year so far

― autogucci cru (deej), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 10:05 (fourteen years ago) link
i like it a lot but no way -- that record is A+++++++ classic top ten of 90s material
instrumental outro is DOPE
― autogucci cru (deej), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 10:06 (fourteen years ago) link
(on the new one)
I don't hugely care for Urban Hang Suite tbh. Embrya beats the shit out of it imo.
― body merkin (The Reverend), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 10:07 (fourteen years ago) link
cant imagine not caring for 'if the cops come knocking' or 'ascension' or 'dance with me.' the album is a pinnacle of R&B
― autogucci cru (deej), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 10:08 (fourteen years ago) link
I could pretty much take "Ascension" and "Whenever Wherever Whatever" and leave the rest.
― body merkin (The Reverend), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 10:08 (fourteen years ago) link
not liking dance with me shd be punishable by death fwiw
i do like embrya, but .. yeah theres nothing on it like 'dance with me' - the start-stop instrument explosions midway thru that song are just XD

still think "Bad Habits" and "Pretty Wings" are far and away the best songs, but "Cold" and "Stop the World" and "Fistful of Tears" are emerging as really good second-tier songs

― Garri$on Kilo (Hurting 2), Monday, 6 July 2009 02:02 (fourteen years ago) link
"pretty wings" is easily the best thing on here (but then again it's probably my favorite song of the year), but "bad habits" and "love you" are excellent as well. the rest are really vanilla, but the best kind of vanilla, like gourmet vanilla ice cream

good essay on this from andy k btw guys -- check amg
this is a dope album, i don't know why people are underwhelmed. 'help somebody' is O_O
― Ømår Littel (Jordan), Friday, 10 July 2009 15:10 (fourteen years ago) link
it's an amazing sounding record, and really dynamic (southall should be shitting himself).
such a great balance between looseness/arrangement too. whatever drum programming there is is really subtle and blends well with the live stuff. anyone else getting a sly-circa-'fresh' vibe?
