ryanripley 86,575 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 sorry, i'm only including studio albums in the OP and thread but if her EPs or mixtapes are your absolute favs, feel free to let it be known! Arula Kala Maya (ΛΛ Λ Y Λ) Matangi AIM so i've finally been going through M.I.A.'s discography and i've listened to AIM, Matangi and Maya and i think Matangi has the most tracks i like so far BUT Maya has some really golden tracks like BORN FREE and MEDS AND FEDS all of her music seems to really resonate with me because of her adult age but absolute rebellious attitude she's f*cking awesome which one is yours and why? https://goo.gl/xMgMvJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMROD 107,939 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 There's no M.I.A if there's no Arular. It's quintessential M.I.A., one of album you need to hear before you die The album works so well. It's political af but so catchy sounding. And it's the first time where Diplo was first producing for another people, and booming, too. So a golden ticket for him too.

Anderson123 37,856 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I love MAYA. Meds and Feds is my jam and I can picture it being played at a party or club with heavy bass and driving everyone crazy. Of course her first two albums are classics and I respect that but Matangi also has some great tracks, YALA and Bring The Noize. I think my least favorite is AIM simply because it's the one I've listened to the least and only Visa catched my attention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retron 2,605 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Kala. It's definitely the one I've listened to the most. Every song has its own distinct style. And Paper Planes slays all and sits atop a throne of skulls of the vanquished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to say it is a bad album, it is like if her first 3 albums are 11, AIM is at 8 (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘢 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘢, 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

River 114,070 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Kala is my favorite, I like the Indian and African sounds.. And I think it's her most pure experimental.. from MAYA it was like "commercial" experimental and she lost her spark a bit.. I guess thanks to Paper Planes success.. So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s disappointing as a conclusion to her career, especially when every demo to come from the sessions are better than what made the tracklist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
