Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Thicke the unwise? I thought not. It's not a story being around past 2015 would tell you. It's an R&B legend. Darth Thicke was a Dark Lord of the Soul, so powerful and so wise he could use the jamz to influence the pop industry to create success... He had such a knowledge of the correct level of "controversial" that he could even keep the careers of the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Soul is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his fame and notoriety, which eventually, of course, he did. Fortunately, his wife learned nothing he knew, and she divorced him, supported by TMZ. It's ironic he could save others from falling out of the public eye, but not himself.

I read somewhere, "If a man writes three poems about you, he loves you. If he writes thirty poems about you, he loves poetry." I think Thicke just loves attention.

Robin Thicke's behaviour all throughout this album and around how he promoted it becomes even slimier when you take into account that in 2017, Paul Patton was granted a restraining order from Thicke, along with sole custody of their child after she accused him of domestic violence and child abuse on top of the already pre-established infidelity. She's quoted as saying, "Given Robin's history of hitting me with a closed fist, pushing me onto the ground and kicking me, I had no doubt he was capable of hitting Julian (Their son), particularly after having used cocaine, alcohol or whatever other substances with which he is presently involved." Absolutely vile.

Wikipedia doesn't quite agree with this story and even though Wikipedia is not very reliable I'm inclined to believe them. This has always sounded like a myth to me. It is true that Marvin Gaye agreed to give up proceeds from his next album. But according to Wikipedia he did put in an effort to make a good album and was angry at it's lack of success. There would be easier ways to tank an album if that was all he wanted to do. I don't think he wanted it to fail to keep her from getting money (though that is what happened). I think it was more like "you'll get your money but I'm going to be as cruel as possible about it and air our dirty laundry for everyone."

Paula failed because Robin Thicke learned exactly nothing from what happened to him. Usher realized that 'oh hey I messed up' and he owns it and apologizes and basically goes 'I was wrong please forgive me.' Robin Thicke meanwhile, makes it all about him, like it's his choice whether or not they get back together. It's all about him 'fixing the problem' like he's in control of the situation, like he can fix her being mad at him. Robin Thicke has always been self obsessive, but that's a really huge difference. Usher puts everything in his former lover's court because he realizes it's her choice over him. Robin can't seem to grasp that whether or not his lover gets back with him isn't his choice, and every song is about him getting her 'back.' That's not how it works. It's not all about your needs, Robin. In that context, a song like Blurred Lines reads more like Robin not understanding that women can make choices themselves.

@heymistercarter.

It’s also telling that, in a lot of the songs on PAULA, at least many of the actual “romantic” ones, Thicke doesn’t even have it in him to say the words “I’m Sorry”. You know, the most basic thing you’d want to include in a song that’s meant to be apologizing to someone. I mean, if you’re THAT desperate to get her back, maybe saying “I’m Sorry” could at least help rather than just saying “Come Back”.

It’s just your bog-standard “New York is the coolest place ever and I love it here (despite it being expensive and crowded)” and out of context, it just sounds like he saw some hot chick at the club and was like “hey, you’re hot, I’m hot, let’s go be hot around town together” and I think he briefly mentions first responders for some reason??

In the three days that this video has been out, I have re-watched it countless times. This is not only one of the best Trainwreckords episodes you've done so far, but one of the best videos you've made, period. The gravity and disgust in your voice through the intro, the struggle between you genuinely being unsure if the album is good or really terrible, the sources you quote from and the links you make to Usher and Marvin Gaye's albums, all culminates in a video that is enthralling and worth multiple views. As a fellow music geek, this honestly makes me want to try my hand at making something like this someday.

i'm _obsessed_ with this video i just love watching robin thicke (and people like him) fail the only reason this album exists is to try to publicly manipulate paula patton into returning to him while simultaneously downplaying his own physical and emotional abuse and making her look like the bad actor in the relationship (by ignoring his public advances, by shaming her for a suicide attempt in "black tar", and my guess is the texts in the "get her back" video are almost certainly real) all it did was cement himself as an abuser and make everyone realize what paula did - that she deserves better this video is not just about a bad album, it is something that everyone should watch because it is a way to understand the hallmarks of an abusive person through the context of music

It's always nice when the Trainwreckord happens to someone who completely deserves their fall from grace.

How do you make a soul album about your failing marriage so devoid of soul? It's almost impressive in it's ineptitude.

"I'm moving to New York" and immediately starting being a completely dance song with no relation to that sample or the context of the album is so funny

Because Todd refuses to market himself, I will say that he has an exellent podcast called Song vs Song that I suggest you check out.

@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 I think maybe that was the original name of the song, before realizing that "I'm Livin In New York City" sounded better to the audience there, who knows? I mean, he did LOOK like he was emotionally manipulating people with his performance of the closer song of his album, "Paula". That, "Forever Love" song. Which, if it weren't performed by a scummy asshole, could've been a pretty good, heartbreaking song to end on. Musically, or visually, it looks nice, I guess? Not the worst fond goodbye song I've ever heard. But, not much really. Maybe worth like, a 3 out of 5, at best.

5:21 a picture of Robin Thicke and his wife with PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale in the background is the funniest thing I've seen all day

That 'Tippy-Toes' track still fits thematically... "Walking around on tippy-toes' is an expression to mean keeping secrets behind the back of a spouse or partner, and I suppose Thicke changed it to 'dancing' for artistic license.

Oh dear, this reminds me of those comments elsewhere that said that "Living in New York" also was related to the album, despite what Todd said - it starting with Paula announcing that she's moving to New York followed by him saying that he's living in New York leaves the implication that he moved to NYC just to follow/stalk her.

​@@TheAlps36there's some psychology to this but imo, the biggest reason is a feeling of inadequacy (maybe in physical appearance or a a better career) to his ex-wife. Natalie Portman, Beyonce, Cardi B, Princess Diana, and others are all beautiful and extremely successful women who got cheated on by average looking men who feel threatened that their spouces are perceived as more successful and recognizable. I know I could be wrong about this but the pattern is way too clear.

Worked the music section at Target when this record came out... I counted 17 copies. They weren’t going anywhere.

Robin thicke’s prime was before blurred lines. For R&B fans, the evolution of robin thicke (2006) is indeed his best album. When blurred lines came out, I knew his career was coming to an end soon. Blurred lines is nowhere near as good as lost without you.

4:16 Love this shot of Todd. Like we get the what the shadow is emoting. “👤”

I always heard about this album bombing, but I never knew that the sale numbers were that painfully bad. The emotional manipulation of his songs and promotions most likely didn't help. I really love your Trainwreckords series. It's such an interesting way to provide full attention on specific artists' careers and histories.

What I really appreciate about Todd, is that most people (myself included) would've been perfectly content with him just mercilessly ripping Thicke apart, but not only do we get some historical perspective here (on Thicke's own career, but also "Confessions" and "Here, My Dear"), but Todd even admits some of Thicke's songs here are pretty good! Todd really insightfully articulates how a multitude of factors, partially Thicke's own persona, the lack of appeal to old and new fans, and the overall mixed tone of the album, led to its decline. Anyway, I've been watching Todd for years now (since before the original "Blurred Lines" review in fact) and just wanted to speak up about my admiration.

"I just bought the album too" - good to know that radio show host is one of the three people who bought the record

The comparison of Thicke and Vanilla Ice is particularly fascinating because Ice actually had a bit of a rehabilitation in his image. Make no mistake, nobody is falling over themselves reevaluating his songs or claiming "Cool as Ice" is a cinematic masterpiece, but there's been a growing feeling of nostalgia for the guy, especially for those of us who heard his songs in the 90s. I think the biggest reason is that he just...went away when the 90s were over, and that was oddly enough the best thing he could've done. He was everywhere in the early and mid 90s, so disappearing into the ether kind of balanced out the oversaturation. He also was dealing with drug addiction by the time he imploded in the late 90s, but unlike Thicke, he actually got treatment and found another calling that people thought he was actually good at: renovating and flipping houses (I think he had a TV show showing him doing this at one point). He's also been a lot more self-aware and reflective about his career, with regrets about certain aspects that do feel genuine. Compare this to Thicke, who doesn't seem to have much self-reflection and is ten times worse a person than Ice ever was at his douchiest zenith.

I have long felt that there could be a space for Ice in nu metal if he wanted to make the transition. In a world where people calling Fred Durst a beloved cultural icon are only pretending to be ironic, I am certain that, say, a Vanilla Ice/Shifty Shellshock collaboration would be treated with an enormous amount of goodwill.

Robin Thicke decided it was a good idea to do a Twitter #AskThicke Q&A after releasing this POS, and it went just as well as you expected. He was pounded into oblivion with questions like: * On a scale of R. Kelly to Phil Spector, how do you intend to get her back? * If one of your songs played in a forest and no one was around to hear it would it still be sexist and gross? * Can blurred lines apply to other scenarios, or is it used just to force women into bed because that's all they're good for? * Do you know the line you'll have to sign on the divorce papers won't be blurred? * What form of sexual or emotional abuse will you be normalising in your next jaunty hit? I'm so glad Paula left his sorry douchebag ass.

Thicke definitely comes across as a narcissist though. Not only did he think it was a great idea to make a public album to emotionally blackmail Paula into getting back together with him, the lyrics show no vulnerability or understanding of his wrongs the same way Usher's Confessions did. It rings hollow and cheap.
