(6:55:36 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: back like Lil Jon & the Eastside Boyz
(6:56:15 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Not even close, Kings of Crunk is an album that will forever go untouched, even by the likes of BDJ.
(6:56:24 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: lmfao
(6:56:26 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: Kings of Crunk
(6:56:31 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: BDJ is the shit
(6:56:37 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: Big Daddy J
(6:56:40 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: hood fresh
(6:57:15 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: It isn't called Kings of Crunk for nothing, that album was a hit fest, something that most modern black entertainers can't even come close to.
(6:57:45 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: are we discussing Kings of Crunk then?
(6:57:46 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: lmfao
(6:57:47 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Ne-Yo has closer, T-Pain has Chopped and Screwed, Akon has Right Na Na Na, Lil' Jon has the entire Kings of Crunk album.
(6:58:05 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: No words within my vocabulary can truly describe the incredibility of that album.
(6:58:21 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: However, Ive already got an idea how to describe todays topic.
(6:58:26 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: New Queens of the Stone Age.
(6:58:29 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: That's where it's at.
(6:58:34 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: perfect
(6:58:38 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: lemme git it playing
(6:58:49 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Beware: Once you start, you won't stop.
(6:59:02 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Unlike our last topic, this album does a lot more grooving, than jamming.
(6:59:13 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: well the beginning track is pretty much mezmerizing
(6:59:55 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Good introduction, it really prepares you for the musical acid trip you're about to be taken on, distorted guitars, good beats, and trippy synths.
(7:00:18 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: its a really magical album if you ask me..
(7:00:50 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: the distorted guitars and synths on Sick Sick Sick.. the lead single.. are intricately structured.. in simple terms.. flow really well
(7:01:39 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Sick Sick Sick just makes me wanna' bob my head, and yet it's trippy enough to make me do so without beat or pattern.
(7:02:13 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: thats what smooth about the album.. it doesnt matter about patterns and that stuff.. there isn't really mcuh of that.. but it still sounds great
(7:02:51 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: It's experimental, for sure. For some reason, listening to this album brings Faith No More to mind, Mike Patton era of course, as if any other Faith No More vocalist mattered. Pft.
(7:03:38 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: ahaha im not extremely familiar with Faith No More except for a song or two
(7:03:45 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: but what this album reminds me off
(7:04:03 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: is some recent Nine Inch Nails music.. except more experimental less harminous
(7:04:37 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: WHICH might be a good connection since Mr. Trent Reznor produced a song Era Vulgaris.. which didnt make the cut of the album but you can find as a B-side
(7:05:08 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I just might have it, since, ya' know, I was baller enough to go out of my way to find the album with all the extra -ish on it.
(7:05:22 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: i did as well lmao
(7:05:40 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: but that fact was in my prior knowledge from when this album dropped back in 07
(7:06:55 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: It's that old and i was never informed? Geesh, goes to show how far out of the loop I am. PS, this vocalist has a lot on Trent Reznor, like a set of pipes for instance. While your butt buddy Trent sounds like a howling smoker, this guys got groove.
(7:07:28 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I give this band props, there's times where they remind me of some old school rock stuff, and surprisingly enough, I don't hate it.
(7:07:35 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: guys a bit younger than Trent too.. not that that matters.. trent has accomplished more than the vocalist of QOTSA
(7:07:42 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Despite me being known as the classic rock nazi at al the local old man burn out joints.
(7:08:32 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: And yet Trent REznor still has no vocal talent, hm.
(7:08:46 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: neither does Doctor Zartan Prime.. but we're gitting off topic
(7:08:51 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: back to the album
(7:08:56 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: just started Misfit Love
(7:09:22 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: and lemme tell you the intro is pure greatness.. and then the vocals kick in.. maybe semi-falsetto.. not too much.. still soudns tremendous
(7:10:32 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: That's for sure, the album overall grooves, and all these songs have something to present, it's not all generic, cookie cutter, rock music, this is an-around strong album.
(7:10:44 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: 3's and 7's.
(7:11:25 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: The guitar groove is like, 3 chords away from that one hit song by that one really shitty grunge band with the lead singer who got shot in the face by his whore wife.
(7:11:31 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Not that I know what chords are.
(7:11:44 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: But in the beginning here, I almost thought I was listening to a cover song.
(7:11:50 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Almost.
(7:11:59 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: youre right it does sound like a taste of Nirvana..
(7:12:18 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: but i enjoy the track
(7:12:26 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: its probably top 5 from the album
(7:12:49 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: It's one of my favorites, it recovers nicely from the Nirvana intro, and goes into some real 7th hour style rocking out.
(7:13:11 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: i tell you 7thhour rock style is solid man.. solid like kanye west
(7:13:27 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: but maybe only regina bitches can understand that joke?
(7:13:28 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: lmao
(7:13:32 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: anyways
(7:13:38 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: It's the ooooooonly thing they understand.
(7:13:43 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: how about Run Pig Run
(7:13:47 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Good song.
(7:14:21 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: not the best not the worst though.. its in the middle.. intro is lack luster.. but it gits to some jamming.. kidna sounds disorganized more so than the rest of the album
(7:15:03 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: It's more pothead oriented, that's for sure, the smooth singing mixed with the completely off-the-wall guitar.
(7:15:12 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: The guitar somewhere at 1:40.
(7:15:15 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Comes out of nowhere.
(7:15:26 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: i agree i got to that part and was slightly confused
(7:16:10 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: This album, I wouldn't know song from song if I wasn't paying attention, the transitions within the song catch you so off gaurd, you never know when the songs are actually over.
(7:16:36 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: its true.. if youre just letting the album play.. you might think two songs are combined
(7:16:44 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: but i decided to flip back to Make It Wit Chu
(7:17:06 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: kinda worried i was gonna turn on a Ne-Yo RnB song or some shit... thought some asshole messed up my torrent
(7:17:16 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: but no.. its QOTSA
(7:17:21 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I think it is?
(7:17:24 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: The song comes out of nowhere.
(7:17:25 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: slower song on the album
(7:17:32 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: its completely different
(7:17:39 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: The background vocals.
(7:17:42 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I wanna make it.
(7:17:43 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: That part.
(7:17:45 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: melodic to say the least.. most like an actual rock ballad
(7:18:05 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: yeah the high voice in the back.. adds flare.. maybe unnecessary? maybe not.. depends on your taste i guess
(7:18:20 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: the solo is like a Candlebox solo or sometihng.. idk
(7:18:23 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: It's definitely throw back to those sooooooouljahs back in the day.
(7:18:50 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I don't know about that, I just know that if it were at all possible to find a woman that would make love to me with this song playing in the background, I would not hesitate to break the edge.
(7:19:45 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: ahahaha if any girl i know would nejoy this album id be shocked.. theyre a bunch of mainstream groupies
(7:19:47 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: oh well
(7:20:20 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: That's why I added in the "if at all possible." That massive if was the key word.
(7:20:42 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: right right
(7:20:51 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: now ending with Running Joke
(7:20:58 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: its like a piano in the beginning..
(7:21:09 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: idk im disappointed with that to be honest
(7:21:39 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: i dont wanna hear QOTSA playing a piano.. it eventually slightly picks up not until aroudn the last minute of the song.. then it dies again
(7:21:43 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: idk shitty way to end the album id say
(7:22:24 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Are we even talking about the same album here? I don't even have such a song! I was jipped!
(7:22:30 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: ahahahha
(7:22:33 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: you know what
(7:22:38 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: thats another Bside i believe
(7:22:41 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: shit my fault
(7:22:52 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: well if youre an overachiever.. dont bother finding that song
(7:23:33 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I wasn't planning on it, I'm a couple minutes away from downloading all these live songs, they're taking up space on my computer that could be better used to download that new Spears album (which will be featured in a future blog, for sure)
(7:23:58 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: WHOA
(7:24:06 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: i almost refuse to listen to a britney spears album
(7:24:52 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: C'mon now brotha', we can't let the Tabloids have all the fun! Making a mockery of the broad and all the sl00ts that liegitimately enjoy her music will bring purpose to my life!
(7:25:09 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: By the way, The Fun Machine Took a Shit and Died.
(7:25:12 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: we'll see we'll see
(7:25:15 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Is not only an awesomely titled song.
(7:25:17 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: by the way.. thats a b-side
(7:25:18 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: But a great track.
(7:25:37 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: just finished Into The Hollow..
(7:25:41 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: its not a B-side i promise
(7:25:50 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: This I know, for I just switched to it.
(7:25:55 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: i just finished it
(7:26:12 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: And this was probably the track I was talking about when I was referring to when i said some of these songs remind me of classic rock jams.
(7:26:22 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: exactly
(7:26:26 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: That sentence was a catastrophie.
(7:26:28 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: its like Running Joke.. just a little louder
(7:26:29 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: But you get the point.
(7:26:45 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: You said something about a top 5 on this album.
(7:26:49 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: And I wouldn't even know where to start.
(7:26:51 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I have no complaints.
(7:26:57 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: really?
(7:27:11 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: idk i could make a top 5 for you right now.. its not hard for me
(7:27:45 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: 1. Misfit Love 2. Sick Sick Sick 3. 3s and 7s 4. I'm Designer 5. Turnin' On The Screw
(7:28:04 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Misfit Love before Sick Sick Sick? That was a surprise.
(7:28:18 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: eh i guess
(7:28:21 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I'm surprised we didn't even talk about The Designer.
(7:28:32 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: well i just finished it
(7:28:52 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Favorite line "'Cause either way I get screwed, counter proposal I go home and jerk off."
(7:28:55 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: You'd be proud of me.
(7:28:58 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I've read the lyrics on this album.
(7:29:09 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: AHAHHA i was thinking of you when i heard that
(7:29:37 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Oh wow, it's so cool when you pop into peoples minds whenever the term "jerk off" is spat.
(7:30:28 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: but i gotta say.. this is NOT the album to think about the lyrics.. except for a person's favorite song or whatever.. the lyrics are sometimes hard to understand or just you dont even care cuz the sounds are mezmerizing
(7:31:22 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I completely disagree, maybe it's just 'cause they said "hump" and "jerk off" but I'm Designer's lyrics definitely struck all the right chords with me.
(7:31:45 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Overall, I enjoyed reading the lyrics, they're entertaining, cryptic, yet sarcastic at times, and even somewhat morbidly humorous.
(7:31:51 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I'm at a crossroads however.
(7:32:06 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: As to whether he is describing political ideals or something more personal, or hell, maybe a little bit of both.
(7:32:11 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: With this band, it could go both ways.
(7:32:14 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: They're out of their minds.
(7:32:21 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: it at least sounds that way..
(7:32:31 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: thats what can make a band great.. being secretive..
(7:32:43 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: let's people translate songs for themselves.. makes it more personal in a way..
(7:32:58 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: this guy could be talking about sleeping on a couch.. and someone else could think hes talking about a girl he loves
(7:33:36 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I'd go with sleeping with the girl he loves on the couch. Most of these songs have that seductive edge going for them. Misfit Love for instance "Do me first. Do your worst."
(7:33:39 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Kinky.
(7:33:40 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Real kinky.
(7:33:55 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: ahaha i feel that
(7:34:12 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: its something secretive... makes you think.. good artists can do that
(7:34:29 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Which explains why I can't do anything remotely close to this.
(7:34:39 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Not only am I not a good artist.
(7:34:48 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I don't even think we could ever call anything i've ever done artistic.
(7:34:56 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: lmfao
(7:34:57 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: probably not
(7:35:09 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: but overall.. this album id say
(7:35:25 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: gits a smooth 4 synth machines out of 5
(7:36:11 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: 5.1 pigs in a blanket out of 5, just 'cause it's that good, and just 'cause hot dogs rolled up in bread, dipped in ranch dressing are that much better than off-brand mac 'n' cheese.
(7:36:33 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: lmfao word.
(7:36:44 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: www.myspace.com/bigdaddyj9922
(7:36:52 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: thats where the good rap tunes are at
(7:37:02 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: and look for a new Queens of the Stone Age album in 09 hopefully
(7:37:11 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: maybe early 2010
(7:37:22 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: You can bet your ass I'll be downloading that one for free!
(7:37:26 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: That is, if I'm not in the slammer by then.
(7:37:37 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: hahaha word. word.
