Because I love you louder (more apparently than you love me, since I still don't know how you feel about Bas, and you refuse to write about TLOP with me
) I'm actually jamming IDLS...IDGO right now. Writing about "Grief" made me want to hear that shit again, so it's on the CD player right now.
I forgot about AM // Radio, which is a dope song, with more instrumental variation than I gave the record credit for. That bass refrain is very '80s, very old school, reminiscent of "Juicy" and Dilla at the same time.
So I'm giving this shit a solid chance, straight through right now as I'm typing. And it's working for me well enough. I can feel the absence of Tyler's obnoxious influence, which I approve of, even though I think Cherry Bomb was an intersting and adventurous album that occasionally even approached greatness.
But seriously, it's fucking really disappointing to me that all of us were so hyped up about OF back in the day. I'm embarrassed that I ever proclaimed them the new Wu Tang, because yikes. I see them as an exercise in adolescent silliness now, and everyone involved has moved on to better things, even Tyler. But that's just how I feel today. When nostalgia hits I'll be shouting "kill people/burn shit/fuck school" in my Subaru while driving to work. Lol!
