ArsMoriendi: Voodoo by D'Angelo is too long

ArsMoriendi 06.11.23	Maybe an edgy opinion but: I prefer both Brown Sugar and Black Messiah to this on the whole
normaloctagon 06.11.23	All are great albums but this list is stiiinky
normaloctagon 06.11.23	There’s like one or two tracks that could be cut from this and they’re all more head down hip hop tunes that don’t belong on this album but were shoehorned in because of what neo-soul was commercially at the turn of the century
robertsona 06.11.23	Feel like Makin love is a favorite. Plane back to Paris 2015 remember it well
ArsMoriendi 06.11.23	@normal: so Left & Right for sure then, right
normaloctagon 06.11.23	Absolutely
ArsMoriendi 06.11.23	What's the other one you'd cut
normaloctagon 06.11.23	Dunno if there is another one honestly but lemme go back and look at the tracklist Also don’t understand how feel like makin love and the root get the cut here. The root is easily a top 3 track. And my confusion here is more for feel like makin love in the context of your first comment on the list, since it’s one of a handful of tracks that could have been put on brown sugar and not feel out of place
Ryus 06.11.23	feel like makin love is a biiig keep cmon
Ryus 06.11.23	the root too ya
ArsMoriendi 06.11.23	"Feel Like Makin' Love" is okay, it's the only cover on the album and I always felt like it sounded noticeably like a cover Top 3 Voodoo for me is deff: One Mo'Gin, Spanish Joint, and Untitled
normaloctagon 06.11.23	So does Cruisin’ from Brown Sugar but it still whips
ArsMoriendi 06.11.23	I hate Crusin', terrible fucking song
Ryus 06.11.23	my top 3 is untitled/feels like makin love/africa. what a back half on that album
Ryus 06.11.23	"I hate Crusin', terrible fucking song" wtf ars pls control yourself and your bad takes
normaloctagon 06.11.23	“What a back half on that album” Yeah man, truly incredible
ArsMoriendi 06.11.23	Nah man Crusin' is like Hawaiian-shirt vacation dad music, basically all versions are whether it be Smokey's, D'angelo's, or Huey Lewis's Brown Sugar might be a 4.5 instead of a 4 without it
normaloctagon 06.11.23	Your r&b takes are like Hawaiian shirt vacation dad core lol
Ryus 06.11.23	no smokey slander in the thread
ArsMoriendi 06.11.23	Smokey's cool, especially in the 60s, but we don't need to defend his worst hit, even The Beach Boys had Kokomo. In fact Crusin' and Kokomo are oddly similar
Ryus 06.11.23	its def not his best song or anything but is it anywhere near kokomo-tier hell nah
ArsMoriendi 06.11.23	I'm sorry, but I don't know if I can agree even a little... the rest of Brown Sugar ranges from 3.5-5 material though, with most of it being on the higher end of that
Havey 06.11.23	"Nah man Crusin' is like Hawaiian-shirt vacation dad music" sounds like an endorsement to me
ArsMoriendi 06.11.23	I guess check Jimmy Buffet then Havey, that's the face of that genre
porcupinetheater 06.11.23	Do Joe’s Garage next !
ArsMoriendi 06.11.23	That'd be way harder since Joe's Garage follows a story, BUT I will say, as much as I love it, it's also way too fucking long "He Used to Cut the Grass" is prob the easiest to cut from that though off the top of my head
robertsona 06.11.23	Smokey Robinson just released a new album called GASMS
Ryus 06.11.23	thats like seeing your grandpa with a boner
Drifter 06.11.23	nah its pretty much the perfect length. super enthralling album when you let yourself sink into its thiccness
YoYoMancuso 06.12.23	This is the best album ever made so I’d leave it exactly as is
climactic 06.12.23	Those are terrible cuts wtf man Album has no skips
Sinternet 06.12.23	who tf cuts feel like makin love
ArsMoriendi 06.12.23	Can’t be the best album ever made when it’s not even top 2 D’Angelo Can’t be the best album ever made when Erykah Badu, his neo-soul contemporary, has like 4 better albums
ParoXysm 06.12.23	This is blasphemy.
Piglet 06.12.23	"Erykah Badu has like 4 better albums" INFIDEL
ArsMoriendi 06.12.23	Piglet, bro you don’t even have a single Badu album rated…am I arguing with people who haven’t even heard Mama’s Gun? Fuck…
robertsona 06.12.23	Oop!
SomeCallMeTim 06.12.23	Agreed hard Ars that Black Messiah >>>>
twlight 06.13.23	Ur dick is too short
ArsMoriendi 06.13.23	Stop trying to get my pants off twlight
