The harmonies and the beauty of the female vocals and tones, it hits so, so deep.

And has a song ever moved you to tears? This one did to me...

DAT NEW RICKY ROSAY! j/k

Big Boi's album like Brandnew said, Em's album (I know how you feel about it), Nas & Damian Marley's album, and this. I thought there was more. I'm just realizing that everything else that I've heard were mixtapes.

Janelle Monae's album is still my #1 album period so far though.

Edit: I haven't listened to Shad yet either.

It's an unofficial mixtape though, so I wouldn't hold it against Cole

Lots of good shit so far. Including some of the earlier releases from this year like Freeway's album with Jake One, and Strong Arm Steady's album

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #2713 on:** July 27, 2010, 01:12:15 AM »

it's called distinguished black fellow from the ville

and I actually take it back, I was thinking of someone else's mixtape that I was listening to with some friends the other day that I thought was j. cole. turns out it was some dude from nashville, lulz

distinguished black fellow from the ville is alright. the warm up is still way better

Listening to BBC World Music and found out about Nancy Elizabeth...

[youtube=560,345]WixFAmvNX4M[/youtube]
*The second half to this track is absolutely amazing

She also plays a small harp (that sounds amazing), there have been comparisons made to Joanna Newsom but Nancy's voice is very different (and I very much prefer Nancy's).

Here's a track with her playing her harp

[youtube=560,345]BTD6aO5rLwY[/youtube]

So evocative, her voice and harp playing. The past two days have been music heaven for me.

why the hell is being over five minutes long a bad thing? A bunch of good songs are over five minutes, especially from them (Wake Up, Rebellion, No Cars Go).

The album's length itself is the problem. Too many nonessential tracks. Besides that it's quite good though.

That song isn't a good 5 minute song though. It peaks in the first minute.

Philip Cardgage · « **Reply #2730 on:** July 29, 2010, 01:00:17 PM »

Where do you find it peaks? I just listened to it again and its pretty monotonous.

It sounds like a light poppy song, and it should have stayed that way.

It should have followed a more traditional route. For example.

[youtube=560,345]kdi-EkCoUCk[/youtube]

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #2731 on:** July 29, 2010, 01:06:49 PM »

I don't monotonous does this justice at all. And how the fuck does it peak in the first minute? That's before the chorus even starts, and waaaayyyyy before the synth lead kicks in. Régine's vocals are great in the second half of the song, too. I don't think you're giving the song enough of a chance.

Philip Cardgage · « **Reply #2732 on:** July 29, 2010, 01:19:56 PM »

Listening to it again.

You're right, the song does change but what I realized is that I hate the chorus. I think that's the problem I have with it.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #2733 on:** July 29, 2010, 01:20:54 PM »

the chorus is the best part

Philip Cardgage · « **Reply #2734 on:** July 29, 2010, 01:32:52 PM »

I don't know, it doesn't seem to fit well for me. Like the song drops when the chorus comes on.

Either way, still the best track on the album.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #2735 on:** July 29, 2010, 06:34:49 PM »

I haven't heard the rest of the new Arcade Fire album but if that's the best song on the thing then no thank you.

I gotta agree with mojo here. I'm not digging it either.

And don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with them making a theme album and have it be this long. But it seemingly all just mixes in together rather than flow together.

They needed a Wake Up or Neighbourhood #3, or No Cars Go. We Used to Wait is the closest and it doesn't even have much energy.

I actually found it easier to listen to than In Our Room. But I can see the album getting old VERY quickly because most of the songs are poppy radio songs.

all I want are the singles! but I want them all in one place!

I just grabbed 'The Best of Freestyle Megamix'...it's aight, if a bit too mixy. But the title says that, I guess. I need to cool down, at this rate I'm going to be hungover tomorrow.

I reveal my age when I say that this is the kind of shit they used to play at the skating rink back in the day. I'm kinda scared..the last time my wife went out of town and I was on a drunken music kick, I ended up with 20 gigs of salsa music.

Akala · « **Reply #2754 on:** August 03, 2010, 10:14:26 PM »

I got all of the salsa off of isohunt when it was around. think that's gone now though? I burned it to dvds before I deleted most of it, lemme see if I can find the discs. that was before the move, may have to go attic hunting.

if anything, I have 2-5 gigs on current HDD. lemme get back to you.

actually there is a record store by me which is manned by a guy who doesn't speak English, so it would be kind of hard to say "I really like this this and this but don't like this, do you have any suggestions?"

I think my favorite salsa album is probably Ali Baba which was Louie Ramirez making a collection of weird salsa under an alias to escape a contract clause with another label.
