First saw this video on BETJ last Friday. I didn't know how to feel about it then, but when I seen it again later that night I was hooked.
I really enjoyed the video for "Tightrope" (maybe it's the shrink in me)

Kool.

I can't wait to hear the studio versions of "Dance Or Die" and "Faster". Funky stuff!

I love the hell out of Tightrope! Her voice is beautiful, she just needs to get away from Puffy before he jacks her shit up.

i she doesn't (diddy = ) and that i (at least ) enjoy her album immensely cuz tightrope is the bestest shit ever . "do you mind...if i play the ukelele?"

FUCK!!! I just found out she was at the Viper Room a month ago!! And I missed her!!!

It's not being released in Australia yet, so I have to wait to hear it until my shipment arrives. And you KNOW I express posted that mutha from amazon.

1. “Suite II Overture”
2. “Dance or Die” feat. Saul Williams
3. “Faster”
4. “Locked Inside”
5. “Sir Greendown”
6. “Cold War”
7. “Tightrope” feat. Big Boi [Big Boi Vocal Edit]
8. “Neon Gumbo”
9. “Oh, Maker”
10. “Come Alive (War of the Roses)”
11. “Mushrooms & Roses”
12. “Suite III Overture”
13. “Neon Valley Street”
14. “Make the Bus” feat. Of Montreal
15. “Wondaland”
16. “57821” feat. Deep Cotton
17. “Say You’ll Go”
18. “BaBopBye Ya”

I had just those clips on a loop for hours yesterday. Wow, it was even better than I expected! Finally some funky, fresh, melodious music. I think this album obliterates her previous EP. She's really found her sound. I just hope this bizarro image/concept that she's created doesn't put some people off the music. She doesn't need any gimmicks, and deserves success on talent alone.

At least Diddy is letting her do her own style of music and not trying to push her to some shit hip-hop direction.

I think it's a just marketing/distribution deal. The Chase was out a full year independently before Bad Boy gave it a mass release

trueiopian said:

I didn't like her earlier stuff but after hearing "Tightrope" I got interested in her and this album is so brilliant

trueiopian said:

You didn't like The Audition or The Chase?

bboy87 said:

There were only a few listenable tracks on both and it was kind of ... Idk, how to explain it

O/T - Someone on MJJC tried to tell me that MJ created New Jack Swing

bboy87 said:

I haven't even heard The Audition yet.

I love the heck out of Metropolis though.

As for the new album, I'm going to wait until it arrives. I adore "Cold War", though!

trueiopian said:

Teddy Riley already got his guitar hero weapon out

bboy87 said:

This girl is the TRUTH!! and she deserves every bit of success that she will get for this album

Janelle Monae >> Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna and everyone else in the industry (except for Janet) .

Most of the tracks remind me of a young MJ and some hints of James Brown.
