GOBLIN - Tyler, The Creator

[Houston]

I've realized lately that I like the concept of Odd Future and the members in it more than I do the actual music they create.

Same here.

I like watching their videos on youtube even though I've never even heard their music before.
I enjoy them because they have troll like qualities.

 

[inthecards21]

They are really funny guys on their vids, that's how most of my friends are, they don't like the music

 

[Cody]

Really big on 'em, downloading now,can't wait for Woy's review.

 

[CCBrink]

I'm mad I just realized what Au79 stands for.

 

[BrntO4Life]

I'm mad I just realized what Au79 stands for.

Isn't that just the atomic number and symbol for gold?

 

[Champ]

Yea I knew it was gold from the get go.

 

[Obst]

I kind of agree with the needle drop review. If Tyler didn't have the popularity he does right now, I think many people would be coming in this thread and saying that this isn't really worth listening to. I was really let down by this album, and I agree with Irish and the youtube review, there are maybe 3-4 songs that I actually like. I could listen to Bastard over and over again, I can't do that with Goblin.

Sandwitches............. Who is the 2nd guy to get on it. Is that Hodgy? I think I want to hear a little more of him. I kind of liked him.

Yeah that is Hodgy. He is part of Mellohype with Left Brain(producer). I would check out BlackenedWhite.

 

[KNUBB]

I will find that one when I get back to my apartment. Give him a listen. Goblin was OK. Only a couple of songs that were tolerable. Tyler is immature though. His rapping style is just cussing to be cussing with no real content to back it up.

 

[Woy]

I find you'll enjoy Hodgy a decent amount, KNUBB, because he's not (as much) into the serial killer shit that Tyler and Earl are into.

Not really shocked at the split decision between how VSN feels about the album...I've seen a lot of this from every site I've looked at. I, however, do like it a lot, so I'll address some of the criticisms I've seen and other stuff in my review (which should hopefully come this week).

 

[Rivers17ncsu]

I still need to listen to this album, especially before the new Joey songs drop. I did listen to "She", it was alright, still liked Yonkers and Sandwitches more.

I don't see me being a huge Tyler fan, though I expect to like some of his stuff. I see me being more into Hodgy/Mellowhype.

 

[Rivers17ncsu]

I was disappointed with it, only because I was overly hyped about it. Had some really good tracks, but quite a few tracks that just bored me. The rating came out to be a 3.18/5 for me.

 

[SHOGUN]

I am underwhelmed.

 

[Woy]

Should sell between 40-45k first week. Not bad at all.

 

[KNUBB]

Lasers sold 200k 1st week :lesmug:

 

[Woy]

Lasers sold 200k 1st week :lesmug:

Are you honestly trying to compare the two? (And I'm not talking from a quality standpoint either, lol.)

 

[KNUBB]

There is nothing to compare :shifty:

 

[A Tasty Burgerr]

I've realized lately that I like the concept of Odd Future and the members in it more than I do the actual music they create.

I've found that I am more interested in the uniqueness of Tyler's persona than his music for the most part. The music is also relatively unique but, like Tyler says, he isn't that great of a rapper or anything.

 

[Rivers17ncsu]

A 7 for MBDTF???????? Maybe I got this Goblin thing all wrong. I can't agree with someone that gave MBDTF a 7.

well you'll never agree with me since I wasn't feeling MBDTF
