inuborg 4,136 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) So unimpressed with Matangi. It's kind of ****ing awful. A big over-produced, clausterophobic, ****ty dubstep-inspired mess that makes ///Y/ sound like a lush ambient soundscape. 1/10 for Bad Girls being on it, but even that can't keep it afloat. Major label production for MIA obviously means an uninspired ****-fest. EDIT: and I can appreciate some crap. Y'know, Im not a music snob in the slightest. But Matangi is a mess. Again: not even a ///Y/-type mess. It's just bad. But the awkward moment when I can't tell the difference between Exodus and Sexodus. Matangi is definitely her best album! Faves: Only 1 U, Come Walk With Me, aTENTion, Exodus/Sexodus, Double Bubble Trouble, Y.A.L.A., Bring The Noize btw: Can somebody explain me the difference between Exodus and Sexodus? For me they sound the same..? Oh I see you said the same thing But we have the same favorites. Edited November 1, 2013 by inuborg I root for you. I love you. You, you, you, you.

dc1993 1 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) Definitely. Infact, its the only M.I.A. I have been able to listen to start to finish Matangi relies so heavily on messy sampling, autotune, go-to trap/dubstep clichés and lame one-liners ("alarms go off when i enter the building" do they Maya? Do they really?) that I just can't with it. IMO it's a lazy album. I actually laughed-out-loud while listening to "aTENTtion" in bed last night - tho the chorus to that track is pretty sick - I pity the producer that had to cut in each "TENT" and tell her it was a great decision. Matangi is MIA at peak-arrogance. At least we still have the genuinely challenging and worthwhile ///Y/ album and everything that came before it.

dc1993 1 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I was thinking to myself how difficult that would've been incredibly simple cut+pasting actually ;) I get that alot of people (especially on GagaDaily) probably prefer this version of MIA more to the ///Y/ album, but Matangi is not the one people will be talking about in 10, 20 years (not for good reasons anyway). It's like a self-parody album in everything it strives to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not surprised at Matangi being accessible at all. Im surprised at how ****ing poor the material is. There's a difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaanBTW 5,244 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I really love Matangi. Come Walk With Me, Only 1 U, Bad Girls, Bring The Noize, Warriors are my favourites so far. PS: In Warrioars she sounds like Madonna. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
