Havent listened to the album yet but will. But how are people not saying Right Side Of The Brain is one of Dreams best songs, first time i heard that i was in awe that song is too dope and honestly i listen to that more than fancy, not saying that right side is better but i think i just enjoy it more.

Will be copped on Release Date....

Definitely.

This album is on-point though.

Personally speaking, I never understood the commotion for LH. I mean, it's a good album no doubt. But LvM was way better to me.

LvM > LK >= LH

 

[D StaXX]

Sex Intilligent and the Remix are tooooo ill.
The transitions are amazing on this album.

Let's take a look:

Love/Hate:

1. Shawty Is Da $$@! (Feat. Fabolous) - Never really liked this song...

2. I Luv Your Girl - Solid. Liked this song a lot until in became a single and was overplayed like crazy. 

3. Fast Car - BANGER (top 4-5 song on album). 

4. Nikki - Never saw the "appeal" like other cats did (remember seeing dudes having this as their most played song in their iTunes 

). Still a BANGER regardless. 

5. She Needs My Love - Solid track. 

6. Falsetto - Solid track (tends to be overrated though).  Like you for example, 

...

7. Playin' In Her Hair - CERTIFIED BANGER (top 2 song on album). 

8. Purple Kisses - CERTIFIED BANGER (top 2 song on album). 

9. Ditch That - TRASH! 

10. Luv Songs - STRAIGHT HEAT (top 4-5 song on album). 

11. Livin A Lie (Feat. Rihanna) - Meh 

.

12. Mama - Meh 

.

13. Shawty Is Da $$@! (Remix) (Feat. R. Kelly) - Meh 

.

^ Best tracks: Fast Car, Nikki, Playin In Her Hair, Purple Kisses, Luv Songs




Love King (my version):

1. Love King - Liked it on first listen, Solid. (*  > "Shawty Is Da $$@!"). 

2. Make Up Bag - Can't stand the lyrics/message, but the beat and melody is hot. Overall: Meh 

 (* < "I Luv Your Girl").

3. F.I.L.A. - Solid. 

 Don't see how dudes can hate on this track like my dude ZSong said. 

4. Sex Intelligent - Above Average.

5. Sex Intelligent (Remix) - Solid. 

6. Yamaha - BANGER (not as good as Fast Car though 

). 

7. Nikki Pt. 2 - I honestly prefer this over "Nikki" (I'm probably in the minority).  Track is smooth as !%!* (the transitions entering in and then fading out add A LOT). 

8. Abyss - CERTIFIED BANGER. 

9. Turnt Out - BANGER (* > Falsetto). 

10. February Love - CERTIFIED BANGER (2nd best Dream track ever). 

11. Priceless - This song is beautiful.  Kinda caught me off guard coming from Dream.  Dudes are sleeping on this. 

12. Take Care Of Me - CERTIFIED BANGER. 

13. Love King (Remix) (Feat. Ludacris) - Average/Above Average (* > "Shawty Is Da $$@! (Remix)").

^ Best Tracks: Yamaha, Abyss, Turnt Out, February Love, Take Care Of Me

While L/H's top tier tracks are slightly > than LK's top tier tracks, LK's remaining tracks (my version) are > than L/H's remaining tracks IMHO. *shrugs*

Definitely wasn't trying to put words in your mouth, but I get ya. The songs you consider "meh" on L/H, I agree with.

This is going to get one or two more plays and that'll probably be it for the remainder of the year

. He's still my fave artist though

"Nikki" my favorite joint by him tho, when I first heard the album and that came on [let's not forget the transition from Fast Car

]
I went

  starting off like that... the production was/is just too crazy to me
Nikki 1 and 2 both draw from [different] Prince styles [as does many of his songs] which is an instant plus

"Ditch That" - I like this too, it's a strictly club joint which is why I think most folks don't bother with it, it's got like 5 different sections too

Not too fond of "Make Up Bag" the SONG but the production is really unique to me, very "airy" haven't heard much like it before

Havent listened to the album yet but will. But how are people not saying Right Side Of The Brain is one of Dreams best songs, first time i heard that i was in awe that song is too dope and honestly i listen to that more than fancy, not saying that right side is better but i think i just enjoy it more.
I'm which you on that tho
Ever since the rough version leaked, the song morphed from a weak Timbo/Danja imitation into a crazy Tricky Stewart orchestral explosion
After the final bridge when the "...But I should be ashamed because I..." at 3:32
The sshh made me see lights, for real


::

 

[shuges]

Yeah, between Right Side, Fancy, & Put It Down, I can't see how people don't feel LvM like that.

 

[incredibleev]

OG Right Side > LvM version though

 

[clarkkent415]

I used to hate F.I.L.A. but now it's one of my favorites. I love that "AAAAAHHHHH" in the chorus

.

 

[pasadena tx]

nikki part 2 is

... oh man this Cd is good still listening to it but i say its not his top one.

got damn NIKKI :smh

 

[franchise3]

I agree Turnt Out > Falsetto

Preach it %*$%%


and Love Hate has WAY to many tracks that i skip so for me Love money and now Love King are better then that.

 

[a hunnid]

Ya'll really like Sorry like that?

I think that's the weakest song, but I never be really feeling his last song on his albums...

It's far from a bad song tho.

Love King > Love vs. Money

The whole trilogy is

We can finally agree on something.

Listened to LK all day today. I only skip the 1st 2 tracks. After that, cruise control. Album is flames.

Favorites right now: Turnt Out, Take Care Of Me, Sorry.

F.I.L.A. and Sex Intelligent are right behind.

Copped on release day.

Exactly.

Love/Hate is hella dope. But the only songs I can play over and over from the album start at "Nikki" to "She Needs My Love" which transitions into "Falsetto" skip "Playin' In Her Hair" (majority of the time) skip "Purple Kisses" (good song, but not for me) skip "Ditch That..." to "Love Songs" (my favorite) and it just stops there.

Love vs. Money, for me, can be played from "Put It Down" right to "Kelly's 12 Play" with no skips. That's 9 solid songs. How is Love vs. Money not better than Love/Hate? The new album also has a good bunch of songs you can listen all the way through.

 

[dnique001]

This album is cool IMO. He has some bangers that sound good in the system, some tracks that you can relate to, and a few cuts for the bedroom. I don't know what else people are expecting. I like it
