I don't know what other peoples opinions are but after listening to One Word Extinguisher for the first time today I'm a bit disappointed, I mean lets face it, it's not great is it, & does he actually have any die hard fans here on the board? |

The_Funkmaster, if that tells you anything. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
yes they are overrated!!! i dislike their music a LOT. boring as boring as music gets. IMO. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
NO!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Prefuse 73 overrated? nope. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i disagree; i like prefuse73, for what i know the guy is alone; one word extinguisher wasn't that good but i really liked vocal studies and uprock narratives |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"their" I thought it was just one bloke? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, i made a mistake...he sucks too. |
||||||||
|
|

tolstoyed: you're wrong |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love it give it a few more listens |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it does tell me something ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I really liked Vocal Studies, but I wasn't too impressed with the new one. It's a nice sound he makes, it's just that it's the only sound he makes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dont listne to him he doesnt even like autechre booooooooo lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is. he's releasing a new ep through warp under the alias savath+savalas. he collaborates with tortoise + local spanish musicians (apparently he's left atlanta to live in spain) lp's called 'apropa't' don't pay much attention to reviews myself. only ever use them as incredibly loose guidelines (much prefer to hear it + make my own mind up) .. but the one review i have seen didnt seem particularly impressed with it. and they liked his previous releases. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can listen to autechre but i (honestly) can not listen to perfuse, it's just boring and it makes me nervous. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didnt enjoy it that much on first listens. after 10 times, i found it pretty good, but not as good as everyone seems to say. outtakes is better. prefuse has the skills. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he's amazing live |
||||||||
|

Nothing is overrated. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i also touched prefuse73 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
crazone, I will take a listen to vocal studies and uprock narratives soon. Zeus, I will try it through my speakers tomorrow as these sennheisers of mine sound very clinical which is good for listening to tiny details but not really for getting a good overall sound. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes well, ok..... it was just another way of saying I don't think his stuff on OWE is worthy of the publicity it has recieved & if it is, how come I'm not signed?........ apart from the fact that my stuff hasn't left my pc XI |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good albums, but doesn't overly excite me. Doesn't strike me as very original or varied. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
autechre are also overrated 8P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"The_Funkmaster, if that tells you anything." ouch, don't know what to think about that comment... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Overrated? I didn't even know he was popular enough to BE rated. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No way overrated. Fills a good niche for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I loved vocal studies but his newest album seems to incorporate alot of the current rap "sounds" so to speak which made me sell it after two weeks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I always think I should make myself like him more than I do, which probably means he is bran. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Neither Autechre nor Prefuse 73 are overrated. They both deserve all the credit they get, which is just as much as they deserve in this case. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wasn't that a confusing statement! I win. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Scott Herren is underrated if anything.... Like it or not, but he has what it takes to bring that style of music into the mainstream. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
before i rea the rest of this thread... i'd just like to say fuck no! and if you ain't feelin' it i feel sorry for you... plus even if you didn't like his prefuse stuff you can always fall back on his gorgeous downtempo (Delarosa and Asora) or his beautiful spanish folk music (Savath and Savalas) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and a few things: how can he be unoriginal if absolutely nothing replicates the prefuse sound? if he were a one trick pony he'd still be rehashing vocal studies (which doesn't have the same musical flow... the glitches aren't entirely at his command at that point, imo) the only resemblance it bears to current hip hop is that it's more synth based than sample based... what he does with it is a million times more interesting, and vital sounding... (of course all he uses is a sampler... by sample-based i mean it's not some 5 second sample looped...) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he's not as overrated as venetian snares is....that's for sure |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Silly topic. Where is this rating everyone is talking about? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think One Word Extinguisher is overrated, "End of Biters - International" is great, but it's the only really killer track IMO. The "Extingusihed" Outtakes are great though. Cheap too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i bought vocal studies and found it so boring that i wont buy anything of his again...then again i am a fan of sample based hip hop rather than this sort. vsaun makes no sense to me, its just meaningless sounds and annoying beats...there are a lot of artists and music i dislike but very few i find annoying to listen to and prefuse is one of them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Talking of sample based hip hop, the new fatman scoop track is great, it has the old "Woo-yeah!" sample in it. Nice to hear that on the radio after all these years. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i shook his hand and got my CD autographed by him and LebLaze: http://magicant.netio.ca/images/prefuse.jpg best album of 2003! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that last fatman scoop single was awful in my opinion.. ..it could (just about) work if you were in an club + he was there, hyping the crowd in the flesh - but outside of that context it just sounds terrible + amateurish. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like him a lot. It really helps to have a taste for hip-hop to enjoy it to the fullest. And yeah, repeated listens help, I had a little trouble getting in touch with his style but now yeah. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how does something be overrated? So, because I love One Word Extinguisher, and you don't, I'm overrating it? Come on, it's such a stupid term... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, but if 100 people are saying a shitty music is excellent all day long, that is overrated. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Nothing is overrated." fishing for a qrter quotable line are we? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No. Quotes are overrated. Damn, that was predictable.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i do like hiphop. but i dont like fatman scoop. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Be Faithful I did like purely because his voice was so annoying it became funny, in the sort of way when a pitch gets so high you can't hear it so you don't mind. It made me smile when it came on the radio because I could just imagine thousands of people around the country angrily turning it off. This new track though is abysmal... sure it might be nicely nostalgic to hear the 'woo-yeah' sample again but shit... ...listen to The Illness by Kid606 instead! |
||||||||

"apparently he's left atlanta to live in spain" heh. actually theres a lot of spanish people in atl. i think theres more of them than any other race here |
