I listened to CSS's debut and was not impressed. As for Kala, I think it's one of the best albums of the year. Top 5 probably.

okay, so I'm not sure where to post this.. also I'm surprised there isn't already a thread for M.I.A. if there is please feel free point me in that direction and delete this thread.

I started listening to M.I.A. about a year ago.. I listened to Arlular and Kala, the first time it was like.. this is really weird and I wasn't sure if it was enjoyable, but after a couple more album listens I was hooked. My favorite songs were World Town and XR2

What do people think of her new album? I wasn't taken with it immediately but then that's M.I.A. for you. I thought it wasn't as good as Kala at first but after a good few months of listening to it I'd say it's about tied.

The first song I loved was 'It Takes A Muscle' There is something amazing about how she combined reggae and synthetic electronic in such a way that it actually felt like a heartfelt song

The rest of the album has grown on me as well, but especially the single XXXO. And I love the music video that is all Bollywood style

Oh and I guess I could mention that I think she is absolutely stunning.. :love:

And nobody even mention Paper Planes, it's one of her worst songs, and if that's all you've heard of her don't bother posting.. please

wow, seriously? no M.I.A. fans?

or is there another thread that I can't find

i'm digging her new mixtape vicki leekx a lot. I've always loved MIA's style and she's back to form now

M.I.A. is on George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight today at 11:00 PM, should be an amazing interview

I could have sworn there was already an MIA thread somewhere, I can't find it though. At any rate, I'm definitely a fan. Haven't heard her new album though.

yeah...i have a bit of a soft spot for M.I.A.....the new album is actually quite good

I have all the M.I.A albums she is pretty talented but very inconsistent, I cannot listen to her albums with using the skip button on a regular basis, she is experimental but sometimes experimental is not a good thing.
