Sometimes, a simply titled album delivers more oomph and savvy compared to more elaborately, creatively titled colleagues. Sometimes such albums appear to lack flash and pizzazz when judged merely by title, but disproves that prejudgement upon listening. Feel Good is a perfect example of a 'gem' that is simply titled, yet conducts more electricity than expected. Connoting happiness and "good vibrations", The Internet's sophomore effort does just that adding some spacey moodiness as well...

From its cheerfully bland title to the super-smooth vocals, 'Feel Good' is among the most conventional records to date from the Odd Future camp. It is, according to producer/singer Syd Tha Kid, "a journey through funk and soul through the eyes of young adults trying to find their way". Funk and soul are indeed everywhere, and 'Feel Good' floats upon waves of clipped guitars, elastic bass and meandering synths, sounding not unlike the more conventional moments on 'Random Access Memories'...

Like Medusa shown an image of herself, the internet has been defeated by The Internet. The world wide web is now only the second result retrieved from a Google search of those words; the first belongs to five kids from L.A, who took the name knowing that it would present a droll barrier to recognition...

Could it be that the kids in Odd Future--one of the most provocative hip-hop clans--are growing up? It started in April when the group's ringleader, Tyler, The Creator, 22, released his third album, Wolf, that was dubbed by critics as more discerning than his former works. Then Earl Sweatshirt, 19, followed suit with the release of his long-awaited debut, Doris. In a GQ interview about the album, Sweatshirt proclaimed that he's "fucking grown now." So what caused the teen to wise-up...

"They don't know the struggles that she was raised with... so shut the fuck up," Syd tha Kyd sang last year on "She DGAF" with the sort of middle-finger-up irreverence often found in the music of her crew Odd Future. It was one of the few moments on the Internet's Purple Naked Ladies where you could draw a direct line from the bubbling neo-soul of Syd and Matt Martians to the rest of Odd Future...

The dichotomy of the Odd Future discography only becomes evident after you've spent an extensive amount of time listening to their catalogue.Circumnavigating one pole at the end of Odd Future is the "Crazy Profane Bastard" section of the Wolf Gang, led by Tyler, the Creator and perpetuated by his closest comrades such as Earl Sweatshirt, Hodgy Beats and Mike G among others...

We last heard from BURNTmd back in 2010, when I wrote the following words about him: "The producers who work with BURNT need to learn how to use his unique vocal tone to maximum effect, and BURNT himself needs to pull his rhymes back a bit to make everything he wants to say fit.
