Outkast poll #2: ATLiens

Rap! The Musical - all the fun of rap, without all that rap!

Piano concertos sound so incomplete without the piano.

I don't know what's so difficult about parsing "these instrumentals, which are great and one of the best things about the album, suck without the vocals, which I find to be pseudo-profound", as opposed to the music which truly is deep and therefore elevates the lyrics, tricking you into thinking they're legitimately deep.

Oops misplaced the end quote

gotta go. need to hit the pink floyd dark side of the moon thread with this copy:

you know what it is, its listneing to this as an adult, vs the memory of listening to it a ton as a teenager. coming back to it, and it just seemed like not such a big deal anymore. its also the way that musically it is much more subdued than their first album, which lends to the feeling of it being kinda 'deeper', or the expectation that it will be more... idk, reflective? when really, a lot of the lyrics on this would prob be just at home over music from the first one. when i say these tracks suck without vocals, i mean, the tracks are great, but without the vocals, it just doesnt feel complete, not that 'oh these musicians suck' because as i wrote earlier, they are actually one of the best things about this album. anyway, for my money, the best songs are on the run and any colour you like, and at the risk of causing outrage, breathe is perhaps the most affecting moment on the album.

also i'm always on the lookout for another wingman. please send applications to austin_needs_a_wing✧✧✧@doram✧✧✧.c✧✧ all applications automatically accepted and approved. welcome aboard.

LOL IT'S NOT A REAL EMAIL ADDRESS YOU STUPID ROBOT

WHAT AN ABSOLUTE FOOLE

"seeking wingman (no r*bots)"

a love supreme also very shitty w/o vocals, btw

It’s been a while but I’m getting huge “raccoon tanuki” vibes from the candyman in this thread

This is elevators easy for me but Millennium has a special place in my heart

The top 3 in this poll are my top three. I don't remember much about the other tracks.

new anniversary reissue coming with 14 instrumental tracks, sure to please the ilxor.com inner cabal with their dogmatic agenda

I should feel like shit for skipping "Decatur Psalm" eh

no. you're a good person and you don't deserve to feel bad.

(but that beat _is_ one of the album's best and i personally love to relish in it. you do you tho.)
