Oh, please tell me you were about wax poetical about Shadow's later albums. I would be very interested to read a thoughtful positive review of those.

I don't like any of Shadow's albums, including Endtroboring.





I have been revisiting Faith No More's The Real Thing album lately and I just may love it more today than I did when it came out my freshman year of college.
 
Ha! I just downloaded Krush's entire discography before the Private Press finished. Thought you should know.





Krush 1. Shadow 0.
 
Does anyone ride for The Love Movement? Not i. One tracker...

And I would love to be proven wrong. Would be dope to have a whole Tribe album to rediscover.
 
This is not Love Movement riding, but there are some other decent tracks on there besides Find A Way. As an ATCQ album, it sucks though. Phife's performance on the album is particularly atrocious, as well as lotsa lackluster beats. I think this is after Q-Tip's records all burned up though, so there's that.

I've often argued for it being an influential record, and I stand by that - a lot of what they (Dilla?) did on that record was everywhere years later. But although I was never in the "it sucks" camp, more than anything else now it sounds like an act treading water and being propped up by some really creative production.

Yeah?





Or





GTFOHWTBS?

I like the idea in theory, but in practice, how would it be determined?


I agree with Doc McCoy on many counts, including I find people explaining why they like things interesting, and not caring to read axe grinding/teeth gnashing reasoning behind hate.


How would you determine what to even include as a candidate? There's some truly terrible obscure shit out there. I think I could look at Waxidermy and fill up the Anti-100 with 100 candidates tonight.
 
It would have to be more like songs/albums that were universally loved, or at least did well commercially, but were actually turds.





Private Press had 4 songs I liked. 6 if Josh could keep them under 5 minutes. It actually sounded better than I expected it to.
 
...it's like a squib that's been dampened when your favourite childhood wrestler, let's say Ultimate Warrior, has had a sex change complete with ovaries and uterus, and then broke his waters over said squib in readiness for the birth of his love-child with Jake The Snake Roberts.




Dude, WTF?!!?!





LMAO!

Like I said, if this was the first effort by a new producer I could've received it with far less expectation. But when he cut out the funk samples, he cut out the funk.


The track 6 Days is nice, but I rarely listen to it. The rest is very meh, and the Z-Trip remix was the best thing to come from the LP:

damp squib


English


Noun


damp squib (plural damp squibs)





A firework that fails to go off, due to wetting.


(idiomatic, by extension) Anything that doesn’t work properly, or fails to come up to expectations.








I was thinking about that thing that Warrior did when he shook the ropes - that would've been his labour routine.

Like Mark Twain, reports of the Strut's death have been wildly exaggerated. Where else can you read stuff like this? Fantastic.









 
B/W





Two Spin Doctors sat in on a jam night with me after they'd already played a Doctors gig the same night, and were jolly good sports.





"Two Princes" was catchy and hopefully paid dey mortgages.





YMD.

Fixed!!





It's not terrible or anything. The good songs are really good. The rest is pretty boring though. Should have been a tight EP.
