The Album Review Club - Week #192 (page 1292) - 3ft High & Rising - De La Soul

[threespires]

Valiant attempts all but I think we need another clue...this is the album title (from a MacLeish poem)




When you combine that with my INITIAL clue, we might get there :-)

 

[Coatigan]

Public Enemy dont believe the hype

 

[BlueHammer85]

Gossip - Real Power

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

REM Around The Sun

Once again, I hope not . . .

Oh wait you said not american

 

[threespires]

Gossip - Real Power

You need a synonym (and check my INITIAL clue to see if anything jumps out at you re. the artist).

 

[Coatigan]

Words in time - paul vens

 

[Coatigan]

Fleetwood mac, rumours

 

[threespires]

REM Around The Sun

You're excused because the artist is not that prominent in the US and so my INITIAL clue might not be that obvious. That said he has appeared on Letterman in the past.

 

[threespires]

Fleetwood mac, rumours

Singular but you've now got half the title (if you ignore the conjunction).

 

[journolud]

Arctic Monkeys- Whatever people say…

 

[RobMCFC]

This is harder to get over the line than a City transfer.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Richard Thompson -- Rumour and Sigh

I was a bit green to think my INITIAL clue might give a hint to the artist.

 

[threespires]

Richard Thompson -- Rumour and Sigh

Well done (and bonus points if you deliberately spelt Rumour in the English way when the album title spells it the American way because it comes from a poem written by an American !)

I was a bit green to think my INITIAL clue might give a hint to the artist.

Yeah, you were, and even worse to tell us it was obvious. Do you know how many poems the motherfucker wrote?!

Also I'm still not sure what the gates and Putin and Trump Inauguration have to do with it but perhaps the record will enlighten us!

The Letterman clue helped :)

One of my college roommates had this and I vaguely recall hearing it.

Oh and I remember people raving about "Shoot Out The Lights" (with his wife, right?)

 

[threespires]

Yeah, you were, and even worse to tell us it was obvious. Do you know how many poems the motherfucker wrote?

Yeah and that one doesn't even have a title as such, sorry!

I did say it was a 'if you know' clue and that another clue would follow. I though the repetition of initial might seem odd enough for it to twig. I think there's at least one other poster who would have known the origin of the title but he might be in bed at the moment. Anyway well done and review to follow shortly.

 

[mrbelfry]

Never heard of this. Clearly I'm an ignoramus

 

[Coatigan]

I was a bit green to think my INITIAL clue might give a hint to the artist.

Wtf is your INITIAL clue

 

[RobMCFC]

Eh?

What's all that about INITIAL clue. I was thinking that @journolud was right with Arctic Monkeys but then you said that "He" is not as popular in America.

This has gone way over my head even though I now know the artist and album !

Ah, I went with RTJ for that one
