god he puts on such an awesome fuckin show. second time seeing him, well worth going into NYC on a wednesday and sleeping at 1 am with work the next day.



remixed ff7 music which was unexpected and nice, and gave a shoutout to DJ Rashad which I was really happy about. was hoping for it and it happened. nice visuals and set, too. beat-driven and for the dance

Album Rating: 4.0

Terminal 5 as well. I saw him there in may 2013 as well, two of the best concerts I've been to

how the hell is it that the highest review for this thus far is a 3.8?

srsly

Album Rating: 3.8

There are only 2 reviews for it though. I mean by all means, you're welcome to step up

I wasn't really complaining I was just being agreeable with gyro's whining because I wish the reviews were in line with my opinion and I assume he feels similarly : )

I thought your was just fine though*




*though I do think I made some followup comment/question about it, gonna check the thread...

yeah, ugh, I can't believe it's the transitions and the continuity that's holding this back for you!
those are two of the album's biggest strengths, in my eyes, along with the way the tracks are organized

I know, and the whole "step up" thing wasn't meant to sound as confrontational as it might have come across. It was more in line with "hey you guys really like this and you're both capable of forming sentences"

well if those aren't fighting words I don't know what are

As far as the album's structure, I think the "unbalance" or whatever, with Never Catch Me and co. at the outset, is absolutely perfect. It's surprising and unexpected. There's something charming about throwing that banger-duo right at 5 & 6(?) after the necessary buildup beforehand, and then just sort of slowly fizzing out into this organic jazzy madness that just sprawls out for 13 tracks... it feels so unrestricted and organic; many other artists wouldn't be able to pull it off because I think I would lose interest. But I never find myself after track 6 waiting for another Dead Man's Tetris. There's that little stretch from "Ready or Not" to "Moment of Hesitation" that I feel is a little less focused, but otherwise the album feels like this glacial transition from A -> B. If he had sprinkled hits evenly throughout according to their style it would feel so concrete and forced; instead this feels just as purposeful and careful, on one hand, but that leap from the flat, even plane to the mountains and valleys of this album make the whole thing more enjoyable and impressive, in my eyes. It's a mess, agreed, but I love it for that - not despite it. And the transitions are just omg.*


*I'm well-aware that that paragraph is 95% just emotional nonsense rather than a more technical analysis, sorry. Hope it makes some semblance of sense.

Guys i love this but don't get the love for dead man's tetris at all

I'm considering writing about this at some point, although I suppose my computer would need to be in functioning condition for that to happen

Album Rating: 4.0

throwing this out there: i sort of think flying lotus should ditch captain murphy, whatever creative value may inhere in it for him. okay to be honest i never listened through the album under that name but it always sounds in a weird way like...well it literally sounds like tyler the creator, but it also sounds like tyler the creator in this sort of amateurish flylo-ripoff type way? i dunno, i guess i just don't like aura i get from it. "the boys who died in their sleep", bleh. sort of same with dead man's tetris too

dead man's tetris is awful yea
