But, I digress, let's discuss the album itself. Feed The Animals isn't that much different from Night Ripper. Although Gillis said in interviews that the snippets of samples were going to be longer and not cut in and out as much, one listen to the new album will prove that that is simply not true. Sure, Feed The Animals may feature tracks with longer lengths (average song length is four minutes, versus two or three minutes on Night Ripper), but that doesn't mean that the samples extend any longer themselves. But, all technicalities aside, the album itself still rules just as hard as Night Ripper does. Check out an incomplete list of samples on Wikipedia for proof. There's really nothing to say about Girl Talk's music that hasn't been said a hundred times over again, so I'll just leave it at this: if you're looking for a new dance party soundtrack, get to downloading now!

I actually think it grooves much better then Night Ripper did. His last album was much more spastic, Feed the Animals is more accessible
i saw this was out last night and i was so excited, can't wait to listen
thanks anna
Instead of posting a sendspace link, you should just provide the link to illegalart.net so people have the option to download for free or donate whatever they please.
I second that last comment. I paid Mr. Gillis last night! You can always have it for free there, too. Also, I don't think "eons" is the word you were looking for... perhaps "echelons"? An "eon" is a time period... Still, nice work.
Tom, thanks for the correction, that's what I get for watching tv while blogging!
Anon, I only posted the sendspace link because that's what I do with every post. I also linked to the illegal art site like twice, fyi. I'm assuming most people will choose to download from the label site and not from my link, which is cool. As long as they hear this record somehow, it doesn't matter to me.
"As long as they hear this record somehow, it doesn't matter to me."
that is one of the most selfish things I've ever read.
link the album the way it was intended - to the site for possible donation.
I would have to disagree with the following: "Although Gillis said in interviews that the snippets of samples were going to be longer and not cut in and out as much, one listen to the new album will prove that that is simply not true." While I think I might've agreed after a couple listens, a few more and I think I see what he's talking about. On Night Ripper , I couldn't remember that many instances of allowing the mash ups to breathe - here, we have those moments in spades. "No Diggity/Flashing Lights" "Boyz/Dreams" "Autumn Sweater/Ghetto superstar" "C.R.E.A.M./Mama" He lets these go for verses at a time - something he did rarely on NR. Anyhoo, I think this is a brilliant album but I cannot help but think of frat parties when I hear it. Either that's Greg's problem or mine.
yea that's fine, it was just a suggestion
this is very fun
i really like the idea of the continuous track so that the album isn't just a handful of four minute tracks but 100 one minute tracks.
i want to see him live for the non-stop party. dan deacon was a close second.
New Ulysses Campbell is awesome.
"Score one for Gillis actually giving his fans what they want right away." -- Exactly! Remove the sendspace link.
Thanks so much. This album is so much better than last time. And I might point out that it's your blog and you can post whatever link you want. If people don't like it they can get it somewhere else..
