Ms. Laura Barton sent me the link to download the new Girl Talk album yesterday (and yes, I'll share the damn link. Try to pay...unlike me, Girl Talk "FEED THE ANIMALS")
The verdict? Kick ass, as one would expect from a Girl Talk Mash Up Masterpiece. But until Night Ripper and other previous releases, the listenability of this album seems to be a bit higher. Maybe it's the flow, maybe it doesn't trip over itself in areas where his younger attempts did. In any case, Girl Talk firmly plants himself atop the thrown of top Masher. I can't wait to catch a show!
Check out what another person thinks of the album who obviously has more time and presumably more of an opinion here.
Also give a look at the wiki page to see all the samples used in every song
edit: Just read GT's Pitchfork interview where he says he doesn't consider himself a mash up artist (he actually claims to not enjoy mash-ups). His point is that most mash ups take two (perhaps three) songs and plunk them together, where as he is creating organically new tracks. While I can see this argument, is his music not just that same specimen, just hyper-evolved? I liken it to biology: mass mash ups are Amoeba's where his are 20 headed hydras.
