East - Appreciation WOAHHHH! I've had NEWS for a while now but never gave it more than a listen or two. East starts out fairly calm but it grows into some kind of monster.
It sounds like something I'd hear on a Mars Volta record with a little bit of a nu-metal KoRn type vibe, all while definitely sounding like Prince! I know y'all don't dig NEWS to much but this track is definitely something I'll be putting on a brooding rock type mix CD real soon.  | |

West and South are my main tracks on NEWS. I abdicated the throne in Ithaca, but now I am...

i'm listening to it right now 
love it. especially that 'asian spiritual' vibe in the middle with what sounds like a funked up harpsichord. and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

I never thought about it that way
I wonder if his stylistic interpretations on each track reflects an actual flavor from a certain part of the world, or if that was coincidental  | |

I've never listened to any of those tracks all the way through. I got through about 3 minutes of each one, and that was it.....in 2003. | |

N.E.W.S brings out some interesting soloing stuff in my opinion.
When it comes to East I really dig J. Blackwell's drum work, excellent! My fave tracks are definitely West and the first 5 mins of South. | |

Glad to see that people have love for N.E.W.S. I wish he would put out another one. I dig N.E.W.S. better than the Madhouse joints. | |

East is my favorite track on that album. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

since every song has about 3 to 4 different movements that sound like they are individual, seperate tracks, you're missing out imo. it's a very good album. but i can see why a lot of people might not like it. and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

i keep hoping for more releases like that. he could put them out low key on his website or through mail order. since NEWS was reportedly recorded in 1 day, he could surprise us with a lot more of this good stuff. i, for one, would be waving my cc  and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |
