1st WOW! Amazing.

KaRaKaKaShK said on Feb 14, 2011:

i LOVE the beat breakdown at the end

SiR_FoX said on Feb 14, 2011:

I have to post again, because seriously this beat is just… I don’t even know what to say. The vocals sound a little quiet though, or trying to go for that sound?

Arrrrgggggh.
I don’t want to listen, and yet I can’t not listen.
Maybe just the first ten seconds…

Incaspic said on Feb 14, 2011:

Yay bandcamp works on iphone, listening now…

Krookedbone said on Feb 14, 2011:

Must not listen…

TheAnswer1313 said on Feb 14, 2011:

Absolutely love it.

It’s amazing how consistently good CunninLynguists is.

Manifest said on Feb 14, 2011:

The one reason I love this and the Cunninlynguists so much is that when something new comes out, it sounds new and it is not repetitive. But this sound, is something fresh and I cant imagine getting sick of listening to this.

*bites lips in anticipation*

WaleKilla said on Feb 14, 2011:

yesss!

@Sir_Fox song was posted 10 minutes ago. dense, dope music takes more than one listen to absorb, its an ear trick. if the beat was wack you wouldn’t have an issue with levels lol they sound fine

roms712 said on Feb 14, 2011:

fuckin A….. need this album now

TexasUnderground1 said on Feb 14, 2011:

Dooooooooooope!

DjMc1200 said on Feb 14, 2011:

Damn Kno just keeps getting better at layering and especially breakdowns. I think a dubstep spin on that last part would be dope. Beautiful record. The chorus is so smooth I can see this being on radio here and there. There was a radio version on bandcamp any word on that Kno/Deacon/Natti?

Spycko said on Feb 14, 2011:

The end is so dope!

VodkaMilk said on Feb 14, 2011:

SHIT!

I can’t wait!!!!

I need more, I need more!

*Inserts a dose of Oneirology in his veins*

DQiS said on Feb 14, 2011:

Best music out there, we all need this album asap!

gametheory91 said on Feb 14, 2011:

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. FIYA!

reverse said on Feb 14, 2011:

dammmmmmmmmmmmmn @ 3:00

well worth the money spent, good move on yalls part throwing it on bandcamp rather than link the mp3

binarystar89 said on Feb 14, 2011:

This song is ridiculous. I don’t understand how you guys continue to exceed my insanely high expectations of your music.

Bosoxfanpw7 said on Feb 14, 2011:

I posted this in the Oneirology thread but I’ll put it here also.

I didn’t know what to expect from Rick Warren, totally kicked ass. Lyrics awesome. Kno production perfect as always.

I listened to the first version a couple times on repeat then I let it play through the instrumental (awesome) then the acapella and I just stopped what I was doing and just got lost in it. Best acapella of a CL song ever.

Osiris said on Feb 14, 2011:

Fucking Brilliant! This is now officially the best Valentines Day present I’ve ever recieved. Thank you

Future said on Feb 14, 2011:

thomaxbeats said on Feb 14, 2011:

Another LP, another level. Ain’t that just the way!

Desyfa said on Feb 14, 2011:

“you may weather the storm if you don’t stop punchin”

Haha f*cking dope line! This song is aweeeeeeesome. Great job fellas!

umbaleskabubu said on Feb 14, 2011:

This is why QN5 is the only label I have a playlist for.

MadShot said on Feb 14, 2011:

Wow. It really sounds brand new.
I thought, because of the theme, it would sounds like Death is Silent but not at all.

Real cool track. Keep on movin.

5 Ft. Deep said on Feb 14, 2011:

I had to spend the whole day at work knowing this track was just waiting to be heard when I got home. I’m stoked to finally be able to listen to it. Gonna purchase it now, throw it on my ipod and zone out.

crazyjew said on Feb 14, 2011:

i have decided, im not listening. played first 3 seconds then slammed my computer shut. I wanna have one constant ear-gasm when i listen to the album start to finish.

logic said on Feb 14, 2011:

WOAHMYGAWD! The second the beat dropped it was a 10/10… then Natti and Deacons voices got involved and it became a 20/10

Once again Cunninlynguists deliver… Once again Kno blows my mind on the boards… My instant reaction was a massive grin and… I’m not too man to admit it… A small tear of joy

energetikk said on Feb 14, 2011:

I gotta say, I absoPHOGGIN’lutely love this 80’s vibe i get from the beat!

Kags said on Feb 14, 2011:

The creation of this track is so dope and just surreal to me on a multitude of levels.

So happy this song was made.

Scott A. said on Feb 15, 2011:

Too incredible. This beat is like nothing Kno has made yet.

JLee said on Feb 15, 2011:

what’s with all the amazing treats on v-day from everywhere?
not that I’m complaining about a new CL song

deStructuralized said on Feb 15, 2011:

Mmm, loving this. Bassline really takes it home.

Good call on including both the instro and acappella on the bandcamp. Really helpful as far as getting a deep appreciation of the vocals and track bed goes.

Jonan said on Feb 15, 2011:

I just love those beats with that melancholic feel to them, Kno always aces it. The chorus is great too, next thing will be paying attention to the lyrics properly. Very pleased with the song, will be chipping in as soon as the album is out!

imhh1 said on Feb 15, 2011:

i cant tell how good i feel cuz of your music.. please keep doing your great job

cyruz said on Feb 15, 2011:

You guys might as well rename the record to Beautiful, Volume 5.

Amazing track, I can’t wait to hear the rest of the album. I’m having a beer or two to you guys tonight.

majki78 said on Feb 15, 2011:

This is brilliant. No disappointment, as always. Can’t wait to hear entire album.

maineman said on Feb 15, 2011:

awesome song! can’t wait for the album, one question though how come A Piece Of Strange Music isn’t releasing Oneirology?

priestlightning said on Feb 15, 2011:

please let the whole cd be like this…

Oneirology said on Feb 15, 2011:

amazed is the word i’ve been looking for the last 20 minutes. yep, completely amazed…

TimmWith2Ms said on Feb 15, 2011:

I finally caved and listened… and I forced myself to delete this damn song off my ipod. Like wtf I just replayed this over a dozen times. There are no words to describe the soundscape; stupendous would be the next closest adjective.

priestlightning said on Feb 15, 2011:

ya this song really paints a picture. damn kno you are a real master. this shit is real.

Nitroxide said on Feb 15, 2011:

O M G!! soooooo dope!! Kno never stops delivering the most original and amazing beats in the game! End of song perfectly finishes it off! THANK YOU CL!

maineman said on Feb 16, 2011:

after a full day of listening this song is truly amazing its been stuck in my head all day.

epic said on Feb 16, 2011:

each time i play it one more time, it just doesn’t cease to amaze me…grows one notch every time (as with most of this music). it sort of evokes a feeling of actually being in the sky, like if you could actually experience space without being strapped in a rocketship. gah it’s amazing! sort of euphoric, and immensely positive, fucking love it! even the saxophone sound isn’t *completely* irkful lol. thank you thank you thank you!
