    Re: Official Lupe Fiasco L.A.S.E.R.S. Thread

    After listening to it in it's entirety twice...I am loving it. There are a couple problems with it(the ones that I said before minus one...ended up liking one of them. But then there was Break the Chain and State Run Radio which were really meh, but the rest I love...and the bonuses are a great addition.)

      Every song on the album that I think is trash is praised here and every song I like is trash here....

      I don't like some of the preachy, emo-pop songs on the album. I never liked Words I Never Said, not a big fan of Beautiful Lasers, etc. And I really like Coming Up and don't mind Out Of My Head so much.

      I think All Black Everything stands out so much on the album, it puts everything else to shame tho. Like I said in the first sentence, this album is intended to reach alot of demographics and I'm not sure if it didn't suceed.

        I know you guys where talking about if the album beats the "on the road test"...Not sure about that but it beats the "on the run test".

        Just did some hill sprints listening to Breaking the Chain...Awesome! haha

          I've listened to the album a few times now. While I still don't like "Coming Up" and "Out of my Head", I actually like "I Don't Wanna Care Right Now"

            From Lupe's Twitter earlier today:

            I never thought lasers would inspire so much negativity. Reading the comments and reactions is crushing.
            Feel kinda bad for the guy, but LASERS is what it is. Just gotta move on to the next album.

              More then you think. One of my favorite bands recorded their 5th album, the 3rd with mercury nashville. The album was DONE 100% and they had to sue the label to get it released. The label said they didn't have time to push it. Luckily MCA(their sister company) stepped in an gladly took over. It was #2 on iTunes for a week so good choice by them.

                I can genuinely say I like the album.

                It's not as good as the Cool, but I've still been listening to it non-stop since I got it yesterday and think I'd put eight songs in the "like" category, three in the "okay" category and one in the "skippable" one in I Don't Wanna Care, despite the fact I didn't mind it as much when I heard it leak.

                Oh well. Most people hating it/disliking it/not caring for it doesn't bother me at all.

                  "Till I get There" is really growing on me, any thoughts about this track?

                    It might be my favorite on the CD after multiple listens. It's top three for me, at worst.

                      I like Lupe but with all his stans hyping him up so much and his constant whining, I'm starting to get annoyed. He was the one talking about how he hated the album, wasn't excited while recording it, and had too much pressure from the label on what type of songs he did.

                      If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                        It's one of 4 songs I like from the album. Also, as bad as I think the album is, All Black Everything is one of my favorite songs ever. That's the kind of song that makes me a Lupe fan.

                          And now he is getting all emotional over people thinking an album he didn't like in the first place, is trash.

                            I don't think he said he hated the album. He just hated the process of making it.

                              He also said he felt like he was just doing songs for money and wasn't excited about a few of them so I don't know why he's surprised by the reaction to the album.
