[STREAM & BUY] CunninLynguists - ‘Oneirology’ - Now Available @ Bandcamp

Posted 1 year, 2 months, 6 days, 23 hours, 16 minutes ago

We’re full of surprises this week! Not only was the date of the QN5 Megashow 2011 announced, we’ve unleashed an instant classic ahead of it’s release date. SURPRISE, FUCKERS!

Due to heavy bootlegging, you can now listen & buy CunninLynguists fifth studio album, Oneirology, directly from their official Bandcamp page.

The exclusive pre-order packages were blown through within a weekend, so those of you looking for a physical copy of this release can get your hands on it March 22, 2011 via RBC Records and Bad Taste Records. Until then, happy listening and check for CL on tour [see details].

Thank you for the continued love and support!

[LISTEN NOW]

Enjoy!

Nope. Although apparently they are travelling with pre-order copies on their Europe tour, so if you’re there you can pick one up.

Saw this pretty soon after I woke up. Made my week. Album is beyond.. well, words.. for now.

What’s the deal with bootlegging as well? :S

Get a copy at a tour show or wait for the 3.22 release and cop from Amazon, etc.

Best CL album for me!

Soupasam said on Mar 15, 2011:

Is there any way the people who pre-ordered can download a copy? As tempting as it is.. I don’t want to pay $9 to download the album if i’ve got one coming next week.

^^^^

No. If you cant afford to pay 9 bucks you have to wait for the CD. I understand not wanting to pay twice but look at this way, we used to drop 25-30 bucks on CDs back in the day. Show some support to the best label/artists out there today.

Oneirology > 9 double cheeseburgers from McDs

Epic Aesthetic said on Mar 15, 2011:

Well said ^

I pre-ordered 3 copies and bought off Bandcamp and I am fucking BROKE. No saying everyone should do that, but $9 isn’t exactly a lot of money. If you still can’t afford that, just listen to it for free off the site until your physical arrives.

binarystar89 said on Mar 15, 2011:

Yeah was broke as hell when I bought my two pre orders and only had enough money to fill my gas tank up this morning and still bought this on bandcamp. It’s a good thing I get paid Thursday.

The entire album is available to listen to for FREE on bandcamp at your leisure.

Keep in mind, our pre-order packages are for special edition physical copies of the album w/ goodies, which is essentially what you pay for (ie. materials, shipping, etc). Retail-digital copies (ie. iTunes, Amazon, Bandcamp) are only available for purchase.

Incaspic said on Mar 15, 2011:

DOPE

Can’t wait til I get home. This will also be my 4th copy of Oneirology I purchase.

daya012 said on Mar 15, 2011:

i’d choose buying this album over paying rent for the month

Nitroxide said on Mar 15, 2011:

If you don’t want to sacrifice a few bucks for this gem, then you have issues. If music’s worth was based on its quality, this album could go for $100+. Its le petite mort in my ears!

Krupuk said on Mar 15, 2011:

AMAZING album! But I must say it wouldn’t have been the same without “Enemies With Benefits” (at least for me) That track was a breath of fresh air. And the highly anticipated “Darkness”.. so worth waiting. Love the vibe of the whole masterpiece. Thank you for making beautiful music and introducing me to many different music genres! See you guys on the tour!

DBL said on Mar 15, 2011:

at last the wait has gone thank you for another masterpiece. see you in london on the 28th hoping for a t-shirt?

Classic said on Mar 15, 2011:

Was going to wait for my preorder but as soon as I saw this brought it within an instant. This is on whole another level

JTX said on Mar 15, 2011:

Wow at binarystar89…that was my EXACT situation this morning. Gas tank is on E, I had 14 dollars to my name and I spent 9 of it on the bandcamp download. Like you said, good thing pay day is this thursday lmao.

JTX said on Mar 15, 2011:

Guess I’m biking to work till thursday. At least I’ll have some good music to listen to on the way.

zmaster56 said on Mar 15, 2011:

Amazing. As if I wasn’t excited enough to get my pre-ordered copy, this was just an extra treat to help ease the wait. Didn’t want to listen to them originally before getting the physical copy, but it was too tempting to resist. It’ll take several listens to this alone when I can just vibe to truly take in what has been made with this album, but from the first play through, I’m very, very impressed. Can’t name a single bad track on it, but can name MANY great tracks. Can’t wait to get the physical copy.

sgtsteamy said on Mar 15, 2011:

Purchased. I will back work like this 100 percent of the time. Listening to the first track now. I know even the worst Cunninlynguists album could top most of the best “radio artists” albums now days. Well, at least that’s my opinnion. But I have a funny feeling this is gonna be a great album

reverse said on Mar 15, 2011:

giggle @ ‘SURPRISE FUCKERS!’

12th copy to my name and worth every cent!

Jonan said on Mar 15, 2011:

Listened to the snippets and I regret doing so because it sounded amazing, would have been much better listening to it fully on my first listen. So I’m really tempted to stream it on Bandcamp but I’m just going to have to resist until my pre-ordered copy arrives… Shame about the bootlegging, it was the rightful decision though to release it digitally earlier due to that though. A huge treat for those who were planning to buy it off Bandcamp in the first place. Can’t wait to get my copy! Wondering when the Darkness video will be out…

Steven1707 said on Mar 15, 2011:

Jonan, just cop it. It’s only 9 dollars and you’re actually increasing the chances of more Cunninlynguists releases in the future

maineman said on Mar 15, 2011:

on my 3rd play through! Another classic from Cunninlyguists!!! Bravo, loving it! Album of the year? its looking like it! Truly a spiritual sequel to APOS, but at the same time its very own thing. Great job guys.

5 Ft. Deep said on Mar 15, 2011:

I had told myself this morning when I first listened that I would hold off another listen until I received my pre order, but I just couldn’t resist.
I’m gon’ buy the digital as well and put that motherfucker on my ipod immediately.

FMystique said on Mar 15, 2011:

Holy fucking shit….LOVE this….heart beat stopped and gave me butterflies in my stomach type of love.

mekanick said on Mar 15, 2011:

Im still gonna wait til I get my physical copy. When do pre orders ship out?

Nitroxide said on Mar 15, 2011:

Just bought my digital FLAC copy. Wish I could contribute more, but I = broke.

crazyjew said on Mar 15, 2011:

best birthday present ever, i love you qn5

QNphile said on Mar 15, 2011:

So tempted. I’m gonna wait until can unwrap that CD I can pop that bitch in and tune out.

I know the FLAC will probably sound exactly the same but I want the first time to be special *pause*

ftbllfrk900 said on Mar 15, 2011:

just “borrowed” the mother’s credit card.

totally worth the probable punishment

Manifest said on Mar 15, 2011:

When and where are the pre-orders being shipped from?

TimmWith2Ms said on Mar 15, 2011:

I’m still gonna hold out for my physical… but what’s the deal with the leaks? I thought you guys didn’t give out press copies so the albums wouldn’t get leaked. How does this stuff always happen.

TexasUnderground1 said on Mar 15, 2011:

Everything that i think has already been said about it.The album is amazing and exceeded the ridicolously high expectations i had for it.

Props

The Trashman said on Mar 16, 2011:

I am so surprised and excited, I wasn’t expecting another release so soon after 2010.

This digital purchase is going directly on my iPod, can’t wait for my preorders to arrive.

Thank You QN5.

Foolscap said on Mar 16, 2011:

The lyrics are in the metadata on the MP3s. I haven’t even listened past the first track and I’m amazed. Now I don’t feel so bad about missing the preorder.

Supahbuldozer said on Mar 16, 2011:

I did all I could to resist until the CD arrived but I couldn’t hold any longer…
It’s amazing…

psukany said on Mar 16, 2011:

This Album is ... on word AMAZING, music in purest form.
KNO beats are Magnificent as always. Probably greatest album in 2011 dont think so that somebody overtake that, maybe Wacka Flocka Flame (Just kidiin DDd).
Thx for this album.
Just Stay on “underground scene” we need more quality music like this.
Great Job

artistQN5 said on Mar 16, 2011:

no worry we stay underground scene and no money for you like.

Brandon89 said on Mar 16, 2011:

Well if you insist!

Brandon89 said on Mar 16, 2011:

Jesus Christ, you guys. Jesus fucking Christ. Qn5 forever!

del preston said on Mar 16, 2011:

Smoked :3 Not reading what any of you all said about this, about to go in for the first clean listen. Very excite!

sgtsteamy said on Mar 16, 2011:

Anyone have a clue if the girl on the cover art has any significance in the albums story line? I have listened through 3 full times now. And I’m starting to think that maybe she’s never mentioned?

If she is, my guess, is she is the woman mentioned in either “Enemies with Benefits,” or “Embers.” But I’m not really sure.

Perhaps she is just an artists impression of what the entire album sounds like. This album puts out some eerie vibes. I love it though.

I wouldn’t give this any less than a 9 / 9.5 out of 10. I’m glad I bought this album.

Bosoxfanpw7 said on Mar 16, 2011:

Fuck bootleggers!

I paid for 3 physicals and 1 digital, and I’m broke… BUT FUCKING HAPPY

Did back to back listening on a 10 hour car trip, instant classic.

Can’t wait for the instrumentals…

If I could get away with murderrrrrrrrrrrrrr

cyruz said on Mar 16, 2011:

SURPRISE, FUCKERS! Lmao.

Man, what a great album. Your work is so consistent, it’s almost scary. Love the album, love the tracks and lyricism. I’m only missing a track like Cocaine but if I’m in the mood, I guess I’ll just bump the Strange Journey again.

Thank you for being so creative. Hip-Hop is indebted to you.

I’m not sure what you guys think of suggested features but I’ll just throw this in here. What do you guys think of the Looptroop Rockers? You all seem to share an affinity for dreams, seeing as their latest album they dropped a couple of days ago is named Professional Dreamers, so I was fantasizing about a collabo. The thought instantly made my mind collapse. Give it a thought and the album a listen. Wonder if I even have to tell ya, haha.

Alrighty, back to listening to the album.

Oh and everyone who hasn’t subscribed to/isn’t following Kno on Twitter yet, you know what you gotta do.

knew said on Mar 16, 2011:

deliberately avoided any previews of the album. jus listened to it non stop on the home system with a beer or two. OH MY GOD… truly amazing

psukany said on Mar 17, 2011:

@cyruz
acctualy Looptroop new album is pretty good this guys are also amazing
if you want collab song. I Think Cunninlynguists in Stockholm Live Performance, perform Lynguistic with Looptroop . But Studio Collab Album Loop with Cunnin entirely produced by KNO could be mind blowing , but today i am enjoying oneirology enough to me

ekamake said on Mar 17, 2011:

Classic.

I’m actually tempted to purchase the physical copy, it just means a little more then the digital (like goodies & shit)

Nitroxide said on Mar 17, 2011:

^^ fall to temptation sir

motm45 said on Mar 17, 2011:

Am I the only person on here that hasn’t listened to the album?

I would have downloaded it off Bandcamp but I’m broke and my internet has been laggin’ hard as hell lately. Can’t wait for my pre-order to come in, and I’ll also make sure to buy the digital release as soon as I get some dough and when this damn internet stops buggin’.

Manifest said on Mar 17, 2011:

^Me too. Waiting for that preorder to arrive

mekanick said on Mar 17, 2011:

You guys arent alone. I havent listened to it either. Im waiting for my preorder to arrive. Plus I dont have enough time right now to give it a thorough listen anyway so ill just wait til I can enjoy it in full

emkman said on Mar 18, 2011:

I gave it a background listen on Bandcamp yesterday while working, and just threw in $10 to get the download. I am hitting the road tonight and I need it on my ipod for the drive, so I love the direct download option, especially with HQ mp3s from Bandcamp.

Don’t torture yourself, listen to it on Bandcamp. Even if you can’t give it your full attention it’s still dope. Any CL fan knows their albums get better every time you listen! So there is no downside to getting a little taste before your CD arrives! Do it!
