All the '03 year-end lists make me want to yell this from the rooftops and stencil-spray this everywhere all Turk 182 and shit.

"b-but, senor columbus...surely, you cannot believe the earth is...round."

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 3 January 2004 03:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Har!

Better lyrics than anything on "Speakerboxxx": "A.D.I.D.A.S."*
Better beats than anything on "The Love Below": "U Know I Love U"

I mean, yeah, I still dig on "Hey Ya" but that's like saying I thought Liam Neeson was cool in The Phantom Menace.

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Saturday, 3 January 2004 03:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Duh? Speakerboxxx was a pile of shit. "Cish Cash" and "Lucky Star" are both potential songs-of-the-year.

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Saturday, 3 January 2004 03:21 (twenty-one years ago)

After having filled the dancefloor with Outkast the other night, and cleared it resolutely with THREE Jaxx tracks (Plug It In, Lucky Star and Good Luck, although I should really know better with the latter by now), I am starting to wonder.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Saturday, 3 January 2004 03:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean... does ANYONE outside Ilxor rate Kish Kash AT ALL?!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Saturday, 3 January 2004 03:22 (twenty-one years ago)

out...side?

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 3 January 2004 03:22 (twenty-one years ago)

What's the clientele at this apparently depressing dancefloor?

Kish Kash isn't even on fucking metacritic! Behold all the Outkast slobbering tho: Only Rolling Stone and the Austin Chronicle dare give it below 70.

Directed by Bob Clark?

― Gear! (Gear!), Saturday, 3 January 2004 03:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean, the serious point is - WHY does no one apparently like Kish Kash? Released a few years ago this album would've DESTROYED the UK charts and end-of-year listings alike. Now it seems to be destined to be little more than a footnote... what is the rest of the world missing that ILX sees - or vice versa?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Saturday, 3 January 2004 03:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know anyone in the "real world" who likes Basement Jaxx at all. I actually don't like them much either, I don't see the constant "bestest groop evah" praise for what is essentially a fun, better than average house duo.

― Gear! (Gear!), Saturday, 3 January 2004 03:38 (twenty-one years ago)

"don't get" I should have said

― Gear! (Gear!), Saturday, 3 January 2004 03:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Outkast remotely the best thing out there either.

― Gear! (Gear!), Saturday, 3 January 2004 03:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I know a load of house fans who wet themselves at the first two Jaxx albums but shrugged at Kish Kash.

I mean, I know the reason for this, but can people's musical expanses really be THAT narrowminded, seeing as the progression from Rooty to Kish Kash was pretty much plain for all to see?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Saturday, 3 January 2004 03:42 (twenty-one years ago)

If I took the 14 songs/50 minutes' of stuff I actually really liked from Sbxxx/TLB and shuffled it around a bit and made it as cohesive an album as I could with what I had then it might make my top 20. Maybe. Though that Dungeon Family album still kicks its ass.

As sad as the Kish Kash situation is, I was one of four people who voted for the Chemical Brothers' Come With Us in 2002's P&J (and it's one of the six albums on that list I still actually like). I think we're not supposed to dance what with there being wars and Osama and shit.

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Saturday, 3 January 2004 03:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I suspect that a lot of journalists think there's nothing fun about bigging up an ambitious but populist dance album when they could be bigging up an ambitious but populist hip hop album, even if at the end of the day the two albums are mining similar territory. The entire "narrative" of shifting critical attitudes to popular music over the last few years points toward Outkast being the critical consensus.

I've seen so many local rock-centric lists where Outkast on the one hand stick out like a sore thumb - the only "black" music, the only American pop music - and yet on the other hand accord with the rest of the list's vague respectability (Outkast as innovators, moving beyond boundaries of hip hop etc.). Basement Jaxx's relationship to black music is one step removed, they're from the UK, they're no longer making obvious chart hits and their respectability isn't quite so glaring. Instead of providing the bridge between the populist music that the critics want to engage with and all the stuff they actually engage with (same ol' indie rock) they sorta fall between the two stools. It may not even be that the listmakers didn't like Kish Kash; perhaps there just weren't nearly as many reasons to listen to it in the first place.

It's not fair to say this is the only or even predominant reason for Outkast's greater critical success obv - there are a lot of people who love populist hip hop who also love S/TLB, and a lot of people who love both it and Kish Kash.

("Prototype" into "Flip Flop Rock" = DAAAAMN, I should mention)

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Saturday, 3 January 2004 03:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Ha Ha Nate that's probably even closer (I really like Come With Us too, but I didn't have enough *motivation* to pick it up before the beginning of this year - I am an example of this problem!)

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 3 January 2004 03:50 (twenty-one years ago)

The reason Outkast has critically trumped the competition is for reasons other than it simply being a great record (which it isn't -imo). They are being canonized for their audacity and lionized as renaissance men - coming from a genre(hip hop)that to most mainstream critics is musically and lyrically conservative/dogmatic. This is coming from someone who loved their last 3 records.

― tipustiger, Saturday, 3 January 2004 04:53 (twenty-one years ago)

you speak for many here, tipustiger

― M Matos (M Matos), Saturday, 3 January 2004 05:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I like the OutKast album fine--it'll probably wind up in my top 30. But this year it obviously fits in the "some of my favorite music is hip-hop" slot on boring crits' lists. I'm more dejected by the unanimous praise for Elephant, which I also like (top 50, maybe)--I just can't believe that many people would rather listen to that than any other record. I mean, my tastes are hardly the most adventurous, but have people abandoned the idea of diverging from the consensus at all?

― Keith Harris (kharris1128), Saturday, 3 January 2004 05:05 (twenty-one years ago)

good god, I almost thought you said Elephunk for a minute there

― M Matos (M Matos), Saturday, 3 January 2004 05:09 (twenty-one years ago)

― Keith Harris (kharris1128), Saturday, 3 January 2004 05:11 (twenty-one years ago)

damn. you bothered to memorize a line. I'm impressed.

― M Matos (M Matos), Saturday, 3 January 2004 05:11 (twenty-one years ago)

ha ha!

― geeta (geeta), Saturday, 3 January 2004 05:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I keep hearing "Where is the Love" in my head as a melody where the title is the only real lyric, not unlike Eddie Murphy's "Whatsupwitu". That song is like the spiritual ancestor to WITL(ess) or something.

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Saturday, 3 January 2004 05:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I love Basement Jaxx and Outkast. And like both of their new albums a lot. Should I feel conflicted?

― David Allen (David Allen), Saturday, 3 January 2004 06:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Only if you, like me, have big huge hangups regarding critical consensus.

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Saturday, 3 January 2004 06:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I have much less knowledge of critical consensus than you guys seem to, but I'll say this: if Speakerboxx/The Love Below had clocked in at under 70 minutes, it might beat Kish Kash, but it doesn't, so it don't. It's about editing, not race or cultural cache.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Saturday, 3 January 2004 06:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I think Kish Kash is boring. I mean, it's dancey, but I find the beats not much fun. Has any house music really burst open critics' lists (in america especially)?

― Sean M (Sean M), Saturday, 3 January 2004 07:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Better question: what beats do you find fun?

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Saturday, 3 January 2004 07:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I preferred Playgroup this past year.

― Gear! (Gear!), Saturday, 3 January 2004 07:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Why can't you people just enjoy being alive on a planet that has both OutKast and Kish Kash?

Goddamn.

― spittle (spittle), Saturday, 3 January 2004 08:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean, human achievement being what it is, fucking celebrate it. Those are both great albums. They both make me happy. C'mon now.

― spittle (spittle), Saturday, 3 January 2004 08:29 (twenty-one years ago)

(And if OutKast would work better at minus 70 minutes, Kish Kash would work better at minus 40. But I'm not complaining about either of 'em.)

― spittle (spittle), Saturday, 3 January 2004 08:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I downloaded some of Kish Kash, and now am excited, thanks!

― Sean (Sean), Saturday, 3 January 2004 08:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Kish Kash is great, no doubt, but I only listened to it for about two weeks straight instead of the two months of Speakerboxxx (and I didn't listen to The Love Below as much as either). Probably just because I like hip-hop more than dance music, in fact B-Jaxx is my token house record of the year.

Also, even though I love Speakerboxxx way more than Dre's record, is it just riding the rockist coattails of its counterpart? I mean, Ghettomusick and horn sections aside, it's not THAT different from other hip-hop and from the last 'Kast record, right?

It's just really good.

― Jordan (Jordan), Saturday, 3 January 2004 08:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Should I even bother with this thread? I like them both a lot. I like OutKast a little bit more, because I like more songs on the OutKast than I do songs on the Jaxx album. Yes, OutKast has stacked the deck by making an album over twice as long. But so what? Yes, Kish Kash is probably a more efficient album, a tighter album, a better-flowing album, and these are noble criteria, but not the only ones.

― jaymc (jaymc), Saturday, 3 January 2004 09:03 (twenty-one years ago)

That was well said, btw.

― Sean (Sean), Saturday, 3 January 2004 09:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Why do people have issues with critical consensus? It's just opinion.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Saturday, 3 January 2004 09:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Prediction: In five years, way more people will still be talking about David Banner's record than the OutKast one. And on the rock side, the Stripes and the Mars Volta will be the long-term survivors.

― Chris O., Saturday, 3 January 2004 09:34 (twenty-one years ago)

It's not a critical consensus though, it's a populist consensus. Point being if, say, five years ago today you'd have told someone Belle and Sebastian would be selling more albums than Basement Jaxx, they'd have looked at you like you were balancing a Buick on your dick.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Saturday, 3 January 2004 10:44 (twenty-one years ago)

i have yet to encounter a criticism of Kish Kash anywhere that has not baffled and infuriated me

somewhat ironically i understand all the criticisms for the Outkast album(s) perfectly, yet it's still just about edged my top pick of the year from Basement Jaxx - i love the ideas of it too much, am swung by the promises it makes (but doesnt necessarily deliver on) - and if nothing else just ignore the weaker parts and enjoy my own definition of the album (single disc combining tracks from both or whatever)

― stevem (blueski), Saturday, 3 January 2004 15:44 (twenty-one years ago)

And on the rock side, the Stripes and the Mars Volta will be the long-term survivors.

Ew, now I hate the future.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 3 January 2004 15:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Suicide booth's that way. (Tho I agree re the Mars Volta.)

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Saturday, 3 January 2004 15:58 (twenty-one years ago)

man, that was a shitty thing to say. Sorry.

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Saturday, 3 January 2004 15:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Eh? Don't apologize, it's hyperbole (and it was mostly directed at the Mars Volta anyway, the White Stripes just make me scratch my head and shrug).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 3 January 2004 16:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Kish Kash is not even a house record, it's more like a big beat record - or even a mash-up record except that these are of course all original tracks. But, I mean, the Dizzee track could be a mash-up of him and something else - that goes as well for the Siouxie track. I like the record fine, and I think that it represents a logical progression for the group (I interviewed Simon recently, and he says that he doesn't really listen to house anymore, he's more into reggae and ambient). I even enjoy it for all its crazy noise and, as usual, virtuoso production (did you know that they used Ataris and CuBase right up to this record?), but it kinda fails to move me.
Hence the mash-up comparison - daring and equilibrist as the tracks are, they seem somehow to be estranged from the lyrics, the songs. As you might know, Siouxie never actually met the Jaxx during the recording sessions, and Dizzee only returned to do his second verse after months of waiting. I am just trying to say that these songs are not units, but forced-together experiments. But perhaps that is even a good thing? Maybe that gives them some potential energy, lile different forces pulling in different directions? You tell me.

TLB is, however, a straight up masterpiece IMHO, a once-in-a-lifetime record that A3K will have to live up to for the rest of his carreer. I will not add to the praise og this marvelous and imaginative and balanced work of art - others have already said it far better than I am able to. But I will say this: Both the Jaxx record and the André record are clearly made out of an artistic desire, no, a desperate need to change directions, and for me it is clear that André has succeeded to a much larger extent.
His songs were initially meant to be the soundtrack for a film, and he has internalized them for the past three years or so, figuring out how to make good songs when you are a rapper, using all your arsenal of inspiration from that musical game. The difference between the two records may actually be that the Jaxx are running beautifully and inventively out of inspiration, trying to press and squeeze the music they love towards something they don't even know what is themselves. They are stressed and they don't have much to give from. André, however, is using his rich hip hop background as the template for making great songs. He has already left his former artistic selv behind, and is not clinging to it like the Jaxx.

It follows then, of course, that whereas The Jaxx are still discovering a tiny bit of new ground on ntheir new album, André is having fun inside already known boundaries (which he is stretching to the fullest, though).

Does this make sense?

Ronan when it comes down to it (further on through the thread) it seems that 'over-egging' is Anthony's only real beef with KK. for your insolence you must report to the dancefloor and throw some serious golf poses.

Jess, I have no idea why you're trying to compare _The Love Below_ to Mr. Bungle beyond guilt-by-association rhetoric tactics (which would only work if you dislike Mr. Bungle, which I most emphatically do not).

To show up 5 years late to the party:

I like both. Took the Love Below a year to grow on me (mostly due to a knee-jerk "WTFingF?!?" since I grew up loving OutKast - ATLiens was the first I heard of them in 5th grade). But it is kinda cheesy. I know where he's going with that and that it's supposed to be, but I can't help thinking one of my favorite rappers went for a Dan Deacon-style record for a bit. And I don't like Dan Deacon.
