its good but the ADD Night Ripper stuff is better its more impressive, original, and a more fun listen. one of the best mixes i thought was no diggity over kanye flashing lights and hearing Velvet underground is never a bad thing either

So far so good...love the no diggity/flashing lights section.

jay-z and radiohead. the band.. okay okay

"Hands in the Air" is rad. Big Country + Tag Team ok, Hot Chip = Cardigans = Stardust ok, Velvets + Sly Stone + "Free Ride" = INSANE.

"i dont think you can be duped if you paid 0.00 for it." -- sure you can. if you think you're listening to something other than utter cowflop.

definitely not as good as night ripper

if you don't enjoy this, you clearly hate life.

2:23 -- I look at things differently. If you don't enjoy this, you clearly love life enough not to pollute your ears with pablum.

the end of the album picks up... but it's still not as good as night ripper. i think it's better than his first album, though.

it sounds to me that you're hatin' on Girl Talk 'cause he stacks paper to the ceiling and rides on 24" chrome

Of course it's better than his first album (Secret Diary). His first album is SHIT! It's unlistenable! It just sounds like someone scrolling through radio stations on the FM dial.

Seriously, it's not that good.

most innovative sample-based album ever. if you don't like this, you should seriously check your pulse. i thought it'd be impossible to top night ripper too, and greg took it to the next motherfuckin level!!!

"challenging music?"
Are you fucking nuts?

"challenging music?"
"Are you fucking nuts?"
even though the focus is recontextualizing extremely familiar pop elements, it is a linear album with a very nontraditional structure. so i think it's challenging in that regard.
it's also challenging because it plays with ideas of originality, indentity, and what an "album" is supposed to be. you can't really say that for many artists.
it's easy to evaluate this album and girl talk on a surface level, but there's definitely more going on here. it's fantastic how much dialog his releases always create
