[Rumori] black album disappointments

[matt davignon]

I actually liked a lot of the vocals in the Grey Album, especially in how 
they seemed to interact with the the music.

I guess part of me wants to find an MTV-style rap album that I'd actually 
enjoy, so I can get a sense of what's going on at that end of the music 
spectrum. I've been finding that right now, hip-hop & RnB are the only 
subgenres of "Clear Channel Music" that still have some innovation going on. 
Not all of it, but some of it. Admittedly, listening to the local hip-hop 
station eventually gives me the feeling of eating too much frosting.
