AKA

"Girl, call Laeticia, your beautician/Cuz your hair is gon' need fixin'"

Vs.

"Do you appreciate the subtlties of taste, girl?"

The second I anticipated for months, then really dug for a few weeks, hailing it as a serious Album of the Year contender; now I'm kinda over it. Which makes me sad.

The first I totally wasn't checking for, stumbled upon a VV article about dude, investigated on a whim, and have been hooked on like dope ever since February. It'll probably be in my Pazz/Jop Top 3.

Discuss!

The only dude besides the guy who started this poll and the guy who posted before you. Bold stance bro

Echoing this fully.

I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Saturday, 8 August 2009 22:21 (sixteen years ago)

the way i feel about MPP is really "it's not me, it's you!!" - i think the three best songs are the ones that leaked early and i like "blueish" a lot but otherwise i really can't make it thru the album

crutboard dudes get subway, totally (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 8 August 2009 22:22 (sixteen years ago)

"it's not you, it's me!!" is what i mean

crutboard dudes get subway, totally (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 8 August 2009 22:22 (sixteen years ago)

i broke up with the album when i concocted the idea of rickroll post pavillion

crutboard dudes get subway, totally (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 8 August 2009 22:23 (sixteen years ago)

Actually my three favourite albums of the year are

The Dream = Electrik Red > Animal Collective.

But nonetheless I don't really see the point in this poll.

MPP is okay and a semi return to form but LVM is some salad day rich sauce action
