How about you get past the first two tracks and then tell me how ass you think it is. I'll then reconsider getting past the first track on that C.M.W album

Early getting sonned in HD

You hate to see it…

you dont gotta do it for me lmao i already heard the album bro

had a busy long weekend but I will get my review in tomorrow

Real. Gonna hit you with your rec in a couple of hours

Limit to your love is one of my favs on there and so is I Mind

I love the chops and like almost Caribbean/ Afro style drums. Idk sometimes it’s disappointing to me to see where’s he’s at now. I still like the music but the cool detached feel of the first two and a lot of TCIA is so specific and still feels special

@ryder

This was a pleasant surprise. I didn't realize all those hits came off of 1 album. That's crazy.

Hearing them in the context of the album is interesting as well, intro sound more epic than I remember. And ngl I didn't know fergie made clumsy either. I always thought it was someone else lmfao.

Glamorous is still such a bop. proto-charlie xcx. I feel like she got a lot of inspo from this album, in general.

The deep cuts on here are just as sick as the singles. That bassline on velvet is gas. And Mary jane shoes is so modern. Matter fact this whole album aged like wine. This is pop royalty status. So many artists based careers off these tracks.

Obviously big girls don't cry a classic. Lowkey I forgot fergie was this good. She's been a memory for a while but this took me back to when I was 9, getting my hair braided chillin with my ds in my hands. Especially london bridge, another song I forgot was fergie's. Carries alot of nostalgia for me.

ubiquitously well written and produced 2000 pop thank you for transporting me to simpler times through some good tunes that I totally casted aside for no good reason

8.5-9/10

it’s insane how little this album is brought up because i think it could be mentioned amongst the best pop albums of all time like you said there’s so many hits

glad you enjoyed

That's what I was thinking, ppl just seemed to forget about fergie. I think she deserves a retrospective cause that's a classic pop album if I ever heard one.

I don't hear it lauded amongst Britney's blackout or the 2020 experience, but this more than deserves to be in the same conversation

Listened today!

I can see why this an underrated debut, it’s a good project but lacks a little bit of that oomph found in their later stuff. I really liked it overall though! It’s cool when you have an artist that you know about their peak stuff already and then you go back to revisit where it started for them and see the foundation of it all.

My favorite tracks are Wax and Wane, Blind Dumb Deaf, Shallow Then Halo, and Grail Overfloweth. Definitely gonna have this album in rotation for a bit, it’s an easy listen and the short runtime makes it a breeze to get through

i’ll try listen sometime today, i’ll been ridiculously busy at work atm

First impressions-

Vibe on this reminded me of this very specific tumblr era with alot of like “chillwave” type of songs kinda like xxyyxx and stuff. Feels fitting I gave you James Blake S/T although they aren’t super similar they aren’t very far off of projects either. It was a very slow and plotting project at times which made it feel a bit samey as ambient stuff can at times but it was interesting and I’m curious to see how the songs I saved hold up in rotation

Saved songs: Poison Arrow, Eva, Reverie and Blue Butterfly
