"Sunglasses what don't you try an form an opinion all by yourself without using reviews from here and Pitchfork and other peoples comments to form them for you, you might even be surprised as to what you actually like."

Well, fuck, I GUESS I NEED TO LISTEN TO AQUEMINI AGAIN.

It's not as good as Stankonia, but it's better overall than Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (or either of those albums in isolation), and it's about as good as Aquemini.

I did the same. Love both of 'em. "Lookin' For Ya" sounds like a Speakerboxxx/The Love Below era Outkast song (from either side), and "Royal Flush" is just straight-up great rap.

I've read his stuff, I just finally realized just how awesome that name is.

Also, does Late Registration count? I prefer that to both of these, with all respect.

About a week ago I listened to "Shine Blockas" thirty times in one day. It was horribly amazing.

The album's great.
But the real triumph here is the name "Michaelangelo Matos."

I was so fucking sad about this.

I love M.I.A. I love The Clash. I don't think that they're comparable, but every time I see M.I.A. discussed for the worse here, I see The Clash dragged along into the mud with her. "Paper Planes" and "Galang" have something to do with The Clash, but I really, really don't think that they're the same at all.

They didn't even look at Donald Glover, but I hear the decided to look at Trevor Moore.

Just jumpy, guys.

I'd also like to say that I consider Kala the greatest hip hop album of all time and am crazy and not to be trusted.

"a longass tweet"

I should mention that I'm not even a fanatic of the band. I love Rising Down, sure, but it's not like I cherish everything they do and play them over and over again.

On this album, it's awful hard to pick a favorite.
With some of the best hip hop albums being pretty long and jumpy-feeling (just look at Madvillainy and 36 Chambers), I think it's great to see that not only M.I.A. has figured out that consistency is really a great thing in an album.

Hate-monger?

Oberst's solo album is phenomenal, and while the rest of his stuff is good, I don't think that anything else by him touches it.

"Renegade" is probably my favorite Jay-Z song. Love it.

Just an aside, when I say that it's one of my favorite hip hop albums ever, I mean up with Kala, The Marshall Mathers LP, 36 Chambers, and Madvillainy. That's how good it is.
