OBVIOUSLY.

this is.
so fucking crazy
and pretty damn amazing. straight shot hedonism, no smarts, just flat out destruction. yeah, it can be party, but it will both confuse and exhaust.
which is of course fantastic.

i love this and i want to buy it and i am broke until further notice. thanks

This shit is terrible. Hipster bullshit to the fullest effect. I swear there is a template for this shit by now. People in cool haircuts and ironic tees be getting down. Ick. "We have such a stick up our art-school asses that the only way we can engage with pop culture is through a slick layer of irony" double ick.

Also, I hate all of you, so far. I really do.

Hahahahahaahaaa,
I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing WITH you. And surely you've been coming to the dirty boards long enough to know you'll get some sort of critique for a suggestion?

FYI: I don't talk about Stryper anymo(er...)

ze crank!

um...

i have plenty of friends who'd enjoy this who arent hopeless hipsters. barely so, even. they like stuff like this because it's pretty fun. and this one happens to be frenetic enough to warrant the strange alt-rock hiccup or two scattered througout . it ain't clever, but it doesnt stop moving, and does so quick enough to to keep itself excited.

then again i have a hard time spotting irony in music. i usually figure if people do stuff like this they at least like, if not love it enough to work on it as much as they do. if it were trully terrible it'd use its "too cool for thou" irony to purposely fuck up or do something awkward. this is too wrapped up in remaining nuts to be just fucking around.

the sample tracks are terrible. it's like i'm listening to two different albums.

did you just cop the best nine minutes or is this whole thing up to snuff?

Very, very hipster. Tyler is right.

One would argue that it's nonetheless fun music--but I'd counter that something about the way these songs are put together actually makes the sum add up to less than each of its individual parts! There's nothing wrong with enjoying a single well-built party song for everything that it is, and still more--actually, it can take a darned open mind.

Changes too often more my taste.

Exactly what i wrote. What exactly makes something a party album? An album that you'd play straight through? A compilation disc? A dj mix? Depends on what kinda party you're throwing and for whom. But the two silly examples i gave are both LPs that were advertised as "party albums", which makes me question who really plays them from start to finish without their guests getting fed up.
Maybe this is (i can't really dig it, thanks for the links, though), but it's clearly not for everyone. Calling something the whatever album of the CENTURY is bound for some backlash anyway, imho...better let the music defend, and this does not.

Well, he's all excited, so he calls it the album of the century. Don't take it too seriously. If you can whine about this, you can whine about almost everything
