REVIEW: The Internet’s “Feel Good”
What works about the second album by The Internet is that you want it to feel and sound good, which is why it’s called Feel Good (Odd Future) and yet you know parts of it sound wrong. If not wrong, then it feels as if something isn’t right. I’m an old guy who feels good soul music should be played between musicians, and yet a lot of artists are making some wonderful electronic soul with the only humans involve include the vocalist and the producer creating the music. I think what songs wrong to me is the drums. It’s not that they sound programmed, because I’m a huge fan of programmed drums. It’s just that it sounds like the drummer is someone who learned how to play that week and someone told him or her “hey, you’re ready to play on our album”. For me, it sounds very lopsided and I’m wanting to go into the recording studio and play the drums myself. What makes this album work: the vocals of Syd The Kid. It has been said that they decided to introduce a band with this album, and right now I’m unsure where the band is heard and where Matt Martians plays everything, which can be a good or bad thing. While Syd The Kid’s voice is not always perfect, I then compare to other singers who try to have a career today but they’re not good at all. That’s when Syd stands out from everyone else. She’s not a powerhouse like Jill Scott, Angie Stone, or Ledisi and maybe she doesn’t desire to be. She carries the notes decently but the truth within is her lyrics, and it is that that makes you feel a number of ways, including good. As it should. A good part of the album comes off like modern day psychedelic soul, or at least the type of soul that comes from modern day drugs, it is in that frame of mind. It may show hints of the past but it’s not lost in it, and that’s what makes it work too, you know that it’s from 2012/2013. Jump into the pool with The Internet and see what happens.
FREE MP3 DL: The Jet Age Of Tomorrow’s “The Jellyfish Mentality”
The people of the Odd Future collective are now trying to tell people about The Jellyfish Mentality, and what goes on in the mind when that mentality is embraced. In truth, it’s a new album by The Jet Age Of Tomorrow, a team consisting of Hal Williams and Matt Martians. The both of them bring together the likes of Mike G. Hodgy Beats, Domo Genesis, Earl Sweatshirt, Syd The Kyd, SBTRKT, and Midtown Pat, Mac Miller, Speak, Casey Veggies, Kilo Kish, The Stepkids, Vince Staples, and Jesse Boykins III, and who knows who else was squeezed into this Mentality they speak of.
