Wow, check that feverish anticipation!

I only heard about this at the weekend but it appears to be a Who's Who of guest vocalists who will happily turn up and put their name to any old tat. Although I'm sort of intrigued by the one with Karen O and and ODB.

lawl

(there was another thread on this that got more responces tho, although I'm not really sure they could be described as anticipitory)

Who are the 'Others TBD' on track 10 with Kanye? I'm guessing Jay-Z, Mike D and Thom Yorke.

damn lol i was expecting some hot skylab/orb/cauty thing from the thread title... tracklist looks interesting but who knows.. tom waits eugheugh?!?

the others on that track are santogold and lykke li. inevitably it's just really boring, not even lol carcrash.

So, so very glad I never got around to opening the copy I bought- was already more morbidly curious than anything, since projects like this are more often than not complete wastes of time, but every review of this I've seen has either a) savaged it as a boring piece of shit or b) regurgitated the press release and pointed out OMG TOM WAITS AND KOOL KEITH SO WACKY.

Trading it in after work today for the Erykah Badu album I never got around to hearing.

their label must have a ton of money for all those collabos. or for all the press theyre getting at least. looks like handsome boy modelling school 2009.

Yeah I was gonna say, how the hell did they afford to make this album in the first place? Are there some connections I don't know about?

Squeak E. Clean is Spike Jonze's brother.

i have actually genuinely always wondered what cee lo would sound like with tom waits but never what kool keith would sound like with him.

What an utter crock of shite this album is.
