remember those bbc MPEG audio tracks that were out a year or so ago? remember that 808 state contribution, lopez? very nice track. so i see it on CD5 at a store recently and i pick it up because i loved the mpeg and i wanted a cd quality version. so i put it in and play it and it's filled from front to start with some shitty wailing and mariah carey lyrics. why would they do that to such a great song, i can think of one reason-- make it more appealing to the masses of idiots out there who think they can only like a song if it has lyrics. and for this, i say fuck you 808 state. and no, there is no way that the lyrics were placed in to increase the quality. it sounds very pasted-on-there-afterwards let's sell out to the lowest common denominator. fyi, there are 4 or 5 mixes all of very mediocre quality.. ALL with the singing. please comment. sung
