Blues... I have to agree with you on Prince's new record. All the tones sound very stock, like presets, I wish he would try to push the limits a bit more, like he used to. I totally disagree with you about Game Theory though. It is pushing the limits of what hip hop albums are doing now. It's pissed off, it's aggressive, it's very creative, I think it sounds unbelievable, especially Russ Elavado's mixes. Russ has a distinctive low end approach but I don't think it's muddy at all. Peter Project... That edan record sounds perfect. If it was all clean and nice it wouldn't have the same impact at all. The sound matches the style, which I think is rare now. It stands out amongst a lot of records that sound the same. I'm really sick of people just trying to cop Dre's style or insert big name here's style, let them do that, they are the only one's good at it. Make your shit sound like nobody else's. Game Theory and Beauty and the Beat are prime examples of this. Unique sounding records, what a concept. They should be applauded.
