but 'Talkin' To The Streets' is a stone cold classic already!
+1... Talkin' To The Streets, The Time Bandit and Uprock Boogie are funky wonderlands, man. Not saying these are necessarily my favorites yet, but they are the ones I'll go to first for a funk fix.
Nice. Need to get me summa that.callmemistertibbs said:

I didn't grey them out, but there are one or two words in Double's verse I might have a little off.
Even though the unison breaks down at the end of the track when they are singing "Happy Birthday", I coulda sworn I heard someone say "Todd" (same one that Thes was talking about in Enjoy when he said "Someone tell Todd I broke his iPod"?? haha, maybe another inside joke they've got...)

No, not tried that Youngs stout yet. Is it any good? I had a chocolate stout from Brooklyn brewery that I got time ago from an Oddbins & thought Highlighter launch night was the perfect time to pop it. Late one last night so takin it steady tonight...gonna sleep on that first listening then do it all again on the morrow. Download is sweet as, but I gotta have that vinyl for the true listening experience. Word up Sac, let me know if you ever manage to track a bottle down.

Period. Not even DLed it yet. (I'm waiting for the full vinyl experience as I posted a couple of days ago, but damn, it's getting increasingly difficult having just skimmed the surface of posts in this threadI might have to go MIA from the forum again until my package turns up...)
You have the patience of Zen master. No way could I do that. As evidenced by me going through my 6th play through right now.

Whoa... "Highlighter" is a seminal work. Even after having to wait another week, struggling with the downloads, Spelunk hooked me up; finally got it yesterday afternoon and burned it to a disc at work. Got home and listened to it in the dark like Thes recommended.
Still going back for extra listens... but here's the early impressions...
1.) "Too Much Birthday" - damn! inspired by the Bernstein Bears and the cutup of "It's my party" is excellent; also enjoy the extra sample that comes in for Double's verse. And the "awwww sh!t" inclusion - total P. Funk/PUTS live show integration right there. Thes you might have to start playing this right after Montego Slay in the set list.
2.) "Electric Tookie," "Dewrit," and "Talkin' Back to The Streets," on heavy rotation, the beats and samples are awesome
3.) "Can't Hold It Back" - A big eff you to the industy; the crowd kept clappin'
3.) "We Got It" - Sounds awesome especially in my car, P coming at ya hard
4.) Lyrics on self-destruction are real deep - love the verse from Thes
5.) Time Bandit - Have the P ever dominated a riff like this? Go ask your mum.
6.) WRLA - Thes and Double K call into a radio show! Double calls "Highlighter" weak. Ha!
7.) Foolish people - makes me feel like an ass for asking for an autograph at a show... but never asked them to smoke up.
8.) Seems like Double is scratching all over the damn place on this album, moreso than I can remember on any other P record recently. Go get you some, big man.
Can't believe it's been about eight years since I found out about ya'll... much respect for keepin' it going and continuing to change up the formula but still do so successfully. I've enjoyed listening to you grow and growing with you. Please don't ever stop making music.

for my last birthday, my awesome lady organized a beer tasting party...
we had no idea what any of the beers were and voted on what we all thought of each one.
the Young's Double Chocolate stout won by a landslide.
it's just that good.
and i did go to the store to grab one!
heh heh
gonna go crack it right now and bump the highlighter un autre fois!

Yeah one thing I love about PUTS is they're never dead on the tables like a lot of other hip-hop production.

I came home from work last night, picked up a sack of some sweet smelling chron and a 6 pack, got home, lit up the hookah, turned the lights off, pulled up Highlighter on itunes, turned on the visualizer and as I listened to Highlighter for the first time, my mind was COMPLETELY BLOWN. I had high expectations, but this album is incredible and exceeded them all. When I was done listening to it, I felt like I had just come down from a crazy drug trip (trip that I am going to experience again right now). After all the drama and mystery surrounding this album, I just have three words. WORTH THE WAIT.
