June 17, 201312 yr Well that song is most certainly not good! Very disappointing after the very strong 'Bad Girls'.
June 17, 201312 yr Not here for MAYA 2.0. OK song but not something I could ever listen to on repeat and certainly not among her best singles.
June 17, 201312 yr Really disappointed on first listen :( hopefully it's a grower - after /\/\/\Y/\ was kinda average at best I'm not sure I'll bother buying this album....
June 17, 201312 yr Well I really quite enjoyed that, not underwhelming at all. Good "follow-up" to Bad Girls, not quite as good as that but that'd be hard obviously. Hurry up and release the album already.
June 23, 201312 yr Author DERIVATIVE here's hoping this is just a 'taster' and some 'fire' lies ahead...
June 24, 201312 yr For a second I was thinking 'god has it really been SIX YEARS since the last MIA album' and then I was OH It's bizarre how much I used to be all over this woman back in oh seven and now she just leaves me QUITE COLD. THANKS FOR THAT /\/\/\Y/\
June 24, 201312 yr Kala really was ART though. Take out Mango Pickle Down River (cringeworthy as hell) and you've got pure MIA COMING BACK WITH POWAH POWAH
June 24, 201312 yr KALA RATE BECAUSE REMEMBERING BETTER TIMES WILL INEVITABLY BE BETTER THAN THIS 10 Bamboo Banga 08 BirdFlu (love a good dated lyrical reference *.*) 10 Boyz 10 Jimmy (god I need to shimmy to this in a homosexual establishment soon with SEVERE URGENCY) 07 Hussel 00 Mango Pickle Down River ('when i climb trees them feet do tickle' - BITCH FUCKING PLEASE! And KILL THOSE KIDS!) 11 20 Dollar (DISCO DISCO DISCO) 04 World Town (mosquitoes are NOT INSTRUMENTS) 08 The Turn 10 XR2 10 Paper Planes (I was sick as hell with this by the end of 2008, but having a break from this for about five years has helped it IMMEASURABLY in my affections.) 10 Come Around (SELL-OUT MOMENT *.* Although in fairness GAYLUV outdid this for sucking on capitalism's tits a good several times over, so this seems almost CREDIBLE in retrospect. Still, negative racial awareness marks to Timbaland for advising to go back to MIA's 'teepee'. TUT.)
June 24, 201312 yr Kala rate sure! 09 Bamboo Banga 09 Bird Flu 06 Boyz 08 Jimmy 08 Hussel 09 Mango Pickle Down River - used to hate this too but I just love how swampy it is, now it's one of my absolute favorites 05 20 Dollar 08 World Town 09 The Turn 08 XR2 09 Paper Planes 07 Come Around 09 Big Branch - I know this wasn't part of the album but it should have been! She's never gonna make something as amazing as 'Kala' again
June 24, 201312 yr It really IS about XR2 if we're talking Kala. Arular though >>>>>>> YEH WOT CAN I GET 4 10 DOLLA 10 Pull Up the People 10 Bucky Done Gun 10 Fire Fire 09 Amazon 10 Bingo 10 Hombre 11 10 Dollar 09 Sunshowers 10 Galang 10 M.I.A. FLAW FREE
June 24, 201312 yr VERY WELL. Kala is fantastic. 10 Bamboo Banga 09 BirdFlu 09 Boyz 10 Jimmy 08 Hussel 10 Mango Pickle Down River (I LIKE IT. A LOT, even the kid voices) 07 20 Dollar 08 World Town 09 The Turn 11 XR2 (might just be my favourite now, it is perfect) 10 Paper Planes 09 Come Around Near flawless. I always forget how good it actually is before I listen to it, not a dud track in sight (20 Dollar is a little weak but still fairly good).
June 25, 201312 yr Author THAT SAID I still maintain hope she's NOTORIOUSLY POOR at selecting lead singles
