Ah, good to see the standard sad cases turning up and accusing people who like this album of being 'lemmings' and such. It's the classic "I don't like this, so therefore no one actually likes this and thus everyone is just pretending to like this" logic. Pathetic.

4.2

She sounds almost Australian at some points in that bit.

I reckon the length of Monster's pretty much perfect, really - the track definitely climaxes with Minaj's verse, for sure, and then the sombre coda is the comedown.

I guess I'll get sick of that bit after a few more listens, but at the moment it's still got me chuckling.

Yeah, at the moment 'Lost in the World' is definitely doing it for me too, with 'Monster' close behind. 'All of the Lights' is pretty incredible as well.

Yeah, it was definitely a pleasant surprise to see that grade. Didn't they give Kid A a 10.0 as well? That's the only other new album to get a perfect score that I know of.

Yeah, those would be two of my favourites of the year too. Finally got around to hearing Sir Lucious Left Foot as well - brilliant album. Just wish that awful, awful chorus from Vonnegutt wasn't on there. Christ.

I don't know if I'd go as far as Pitchfork, but yeah… It's a pretty fantastic album.

Obviously the man's hard up. I mean, Dewey never once paid for drugs. Not once.

Agreed. Holy crap.

Yeah, Dee demonstrating the tiny hat was weirdly touching.

I know I'm commenting kind of late but I just wanted to be a part of this momentous occasion.

Yes, Hendel wins the award for dumbest post of the day (assuming Freedom Fan is a troll). Christ.

CCH, McRib owned you. Deal with it and move on.

Oh shit, that's true… If it makes it to 24 seasons the ratio really will be 2:1.

I'm not sure if anyone's gonna read this, but I wonder how the fuck they come up with these figures? Seriously, if you've ever studied stats, think about how one would go about trying to calculate these kind of things. It's obviously complete bullshit.

I would love to bear david caruso's child.

Yeah, I was inspired by this thread to go check out their Wiki page for any info about a new album. Sounds like it could maybe perhaps be coming soon… sort of.

What's the gripe?
