delirious

Reaction to LotusFlow3r and MPLSound

Don't have time for a seriously long review here since it is late and I need to go to bed sad

But here are the standout tracks (in my opinion of course) - I am not going to comment on the tracks we all already have previewed...

LotusFlow3r:

Dreamer steals its intro guitar almost directly from a Hendrix tune but after that it absolutely rocks...a hard rocker that doesn't dissapoint...

The Morning After: a pleasant little tune - has kind of a Manic Monday feel to it?

Boom: this is another hard driving tune with a very interesting melody line to begin the tune - this almost sounds like something you would here on an early Lisa and Wendy album - this sounds straight from the 1960s...

Feel Better, Feel Good, Feel Wonderful: kind if feels a little like "Get on the Boat" - good song to get you moving...

Love like Jazz: has a Steely Dan/Chicago feel to it - not one of my favorites but not a bad song

$ - a weird tune - done in the Camille voice - kind of catchy almost a country guitar feel with a dance beat...

Lots of people will love the instrumentals - I found them ok, smooth and listenable but nothing greater than that...

MPLSound:

OLD SKOOL COMPANY!! this may be his best funk arrangement with lyrics that has been done in years...it is very much in the pocket of Musicology lyrically but with much more interesting music and some nice recent references to the White House, bailouts, done in the voice of Camille...the works smile

No more candy 4 U: A combination of Delirious and Peach...

Dance 4 Me: similar to Hot wit U but maybe a little better in some regards

Here: this is perfectly crafted synth-pop - a little syrupy but very nice I guess

Valentina: this sounds like it came straight out of the 80s - I wasn't sure I was going to like it but at a second listen I am strangely enjoying it

The ballads are both pretty good...nothing to really add here.

I actually found both albums to be pretty good - much better (again in my opinion) than Planet Earth and in some ways 3121...

So let the discussions begin - would love to hear everyone's opinions!

I too would love your opinions...on the sticky threads!
Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it.
