which albums from 2002 and 2003 have REALLY had staying power with you? i don't mean something you got and have been playing a lot recently, but what do you come back to? from last year MCA really, really, REALLY did some good, as i really think the 2002 albums from the roots, talib kweli, common, and blackalicious are 4 of the best hip-hop albums in a decade. what hasn't had staying power with me has been dj shadow, eminem, cinematic orchestra, BoC, vsnares, or amon tobin. all great releases but just not albums i am constantly coming back to. this could change, of course; i didn't listen to the massive attack album in a while but now that i have been i feel like i've been missing out. the tracks 3D sings are phenomenal, you just have to adapt to his voice and be open minded (instead of expecting the sounds of earlier albums). |

Avalanches - Since I left you it was released in 2000 but it definitly has the kind of staying power that you're talking about |

that avalanches joint seems to be somewhat of a slow burner / steady climber... a lot of good cd's are like that, which is cool cos it gives you hope that good music will always be discovered by people my favorite 2000 album that i bought in 2002 was dead prez's "let's get free"... dunno why i waited 2 years, i remember oggling the cover many a time in early 2000. quite easily one of my top 4 favorite hip-hop albums and an undisputable classic by all means (lyrical, musical, overall style, even the aforementioned album design) |

well, I haven't really bought that many albums from 2003 yet this year... BUT, I do think this new Aphex double cd set, 26 mixes will have staying power with me... it's real nice... but, albums from any year that I've bought this year that have staying power, well, I think Confield by Autechre will... I already think it's fantastic... the first three tracks are amazing! And yeah, I love that Avalanches album... The album that has had the best staying power for me is, *drum role* PASSION!!!! Part of the reason why it's my favorite album is because I've listened to it so much, and I still get the same feelings now as I did when I bought it like 3 years ago... amazing stuff! |

that cinematic orchestra album is fantastic... I don't listen to it all the time, but I do every now and then and it's killer... especially the track All Things to All Men, which I must say is my favorite rap tune of ALL time... just love it... and Geogaddi is still amazing imo... again, I don't listen to it constantly, but every now and then I do, and it's still great... see, with me there are really no albums I can listen to constantly forever... I usually go in spurts... like right now I'm in a more chilled mood, so I'm really into BoC, etc... so, staying power for me is not an album I can listen to everyday for 5 years, cause for me it doesn't exist... but it's an album that I can buy, get into, put away, and put back on in a few weeks and still be blowen away... repeating that forever... |
||||||||

i have to agree with you that Geogaddi as a whole, lacked staying power... but tracks like Sunshine Recorder, 1969, Dawn Chorus, and Music is Math, are easily some of the best tracks of the year, not to mention tracks i come back to again and again. |

what tracks did he play on, and what instrument? heh, I don't have the booklet that came with it to look as my cd was washed out one time in our washer, ruining the booklet... I really have to get that new remastered edition sometime... |
