Interesting to me how music can be appreciated differently by different people.

The darkness means alot of different things for alot of different people i guess.

Why do we still use the terms ep/lp? anyone?    

habit, and bueaucratic inertia.

Exactly, it comes down to surrounding yourself with like minded people. Big reason that I don't go to parties very much anymore.

70% of the time i get all to myself and weird too. Its all good that why ppl cant take me no where

I wouldn't classify any of the songs(not skits)on the darkness as bad. I think all the songs are good songs. I feel like if they would've taken away the skits and released it as an 11 track ep like mirror mirror more people would have enjoyed it. Remember twiztid were coming off what many say was there best album in years(abominations). That's a lot to live up to. also people have certain expectations for a twiztid album. Is it there best album? No but it is far from the worst imo. Solid production, mixing, and quality just a little rushed and forced. Remember they are still getting used to being there own entity and its a lot to juggle. Trust me twiztid will never take the esham route. Although I have a feeling esham will make a comeback. Venus flytrap was straight up garbitch 

More or less exactly how I feel about it. I just think that 11-12 songs should be considered an LP, a full album. Why do we still use the terms ep/lp? anyone?

...Songs like these solidify the fact that even though you are alone in your struggle, there are other people out there who not only have gone through the same things but can put into words the feelings in a way that you can't seem to sometimes.

Yeah i feel the same way. The things inside of me have always sent horror thru me more than anything. And thats why ppl gravitate to music like that. Man i was a sad kid dude if it wasnt for music that didnt let me forget i wasnt the only one i wouldnt be here. Thats why i dont care to say i like bands like afi and death cab and a bunch of other shit. Elliot smith anyone?

 

Im not at schooled intwiztid like i am with the wicked clowns but its good regardless scruffy!

And to the part songs... Some guys on the tech n9ne two chains thread said like how crazy can u go to fragile? I have no idea what to play when ppl wanna have fun. Like i can play ska and reggae but that only gos so far....itll be cool to play something i can relate to somehow.

You should never be ashamed of the music you listen to as long as it speaks to you. I have shit in my library that I GUARANTEE 95% of you would scoff at. I'd agree with the assessment on party songs too. I'm really weird about shit, so if I go to a party(rarity these day) or a bar that's playing music I don't like, I can't make myself have a good time.

Twiztid just aint music for most parties though. The day I got locked up for a DUI I was at a throw down in this barn/garage and for the first hour or so we were bumping CC4 because it just came out. I was getting shit housed quick and having fun then the 'preppy' dudes and chicks show up and all that comes to a halt. Now we are listening to what I consider to be garbage ass R&B and Hip Hop. I put up with it for about two hours and then risked the drive because I just wasn't feeling it anymore. It's weird how it works for me.

Oh me too dude i for sure got some ppl you guys would vomit to. (SAY HELLO TO MR.WINKIE!) but its all good.

I know twiztid aint party music. I love twiztid more for the lyrics than anything.

I tell my friends to play music at parties because i always bring the party down ahhah. No joke. No one wants to take shots to my shit. But when i get with the liked minded it gos down! But aslong as the partys pumping and my friends are having fun and the hoochies aint bored its alll good

I thought the same the first month into The Darkness, but the only tracks I really play anymore are In Hell, Boogieman, Down Here, No Breaks, and Seance. 

I've been thinking about it and I think I'm going to start waiting 6-12 months before giving my personal review on an album. It looks like a good place to start will be with Lost.

Cmon dude that's a little unfair. They have very few party songs. 

A New Nightmare was 28 minutes of music.  10 of those was Wasted.

Get Twiztid was 20 minutes of music.  8 of those was Wasted 2.

I won't count 4 the Fam's party hits.

But Darkness isn't dark, that's for sure.  I don't hate Twiztid.  But I'm starting to not really care about their music anymore.  That ain't good.

Is that really ture about new nightmare? Hahaha oh man that song did linger but i didnt know it was that bad ahah

@scruffy You aren't really a big twiztid mark anyways right? I can dig that. It seems to be a general consensus that this isn't a good album.    

i am, i am...  its just fading a lil.  

all the music is half-right, these days.  the albums are half-albums.  

im disappointed that they havent dropped that seminal masterpiece big bonanza super-classic lp yet.  they said the moment you all etc was it.  

but theyve been saying that for kind of a while...  

what is a tiny bit unsettling to me, is that this is exactly the same thing that happened with esham.  little less interested, as time passed, and eventually he was puttin out dreck that i couldnt get behind.  

with esham, though, it started before he left psychopathic.  

...actually, i didnt love abominationz like so many do...  shit, i hope they arent goin down the same path.  

if twiztid came down with esham syndrome, that would be a tragedy.

As much as I liked the record when it first dropped it's slowly moving out of rotation for me. Such is life I suppose. I still think it was a solid effort on Twiztid's part.

There it is.
