I haven't listened to a single track on this, but now that I see it's getting recognized as album of the year over TPAB I am more confused about today's world than ever.
Is this good? Or is it indeed the teenage hipster girl garbage I for whatever reason think it is?
>>60937752
it's better than TPAB. but only because TPAB is horrendous.
>Is this good?
no fucking way
>>60937752
It's pop album of the decade, OP.
Why don't you listen to it and make your own decision?
I personally really don't like Art Angles and I loved TPAB but they're really not comparable.
Visions was much better and even that was barely a 5/10.
>>60937869
Because nobody in /mu/ listens to any music, just repeating a general opinion previously stated.
>>60937906
but I'm listening to music right now anon
>>60937918
No, you're just put it as background music while shitposting, otherwise you would be concentrated on the music.
It's terrible. Listen to Visions if you want bearable grimes.
>>60937899
>Visions
>barely a 5/10
>>60937804
yes, it's not good cuz it's perfect
>It's pop album of the decade, OP.
That's quite a serious allegation..
I think it's better than Visions. Then again, I only liked Genesis and Oblivion.
Besides the first few songs on Art Angels (which are fairly bad), I think the rest of the tracks off the album is Grimes' best material.
>>60938170
no be a body?
>>60937752
>I haven't listened to a single track on this
>Is this good?
I want children to leave 4chan
>>60937869
>pop album of the decade
Ariel Pink released that last year.
>>60939664
And Grimes did it this year.
>>60939825
The decade didn't change this year, anon...
>>60937752
>hasn't listened to a single track on album
>spends more time to make a thread about the record than what it would take to listen to a track
can you just fuck off you underage retard
>>60939865
But album of the decade did.
I listened to it and i guess Its okay its definitely a upgrade from her previous albums.But i dont think it deserves album of the year tho.
>>60939879
What's everyone's favourite song in the Album?
Loving Flesh without Blood and Kill V. Maim
>>60939948
Pin, World Princess Pt. II and Butterfly. Can't decide between these three.
>>60939948
California
>>60939948
REALiTi
>>60939948
Artangels
Would have been 10/10 best pop album of all time if she had cut the fat even some of the best songs go on for too long (looking at you Realiti, Kill v Maim, Art angels, Venus Fly....). GOAT tracklist is:
1. California
2. Flesh without Blood
3. Kill V. Maim
4. Artangels
5. Easily
6. Pin
7. REALiTi
8. Venus Fly
9. Life in the Vivid Dream
10. Butterfly
Someone post that ugly af close up of her face.
About sums up my feelings for this album, it's absolute trash and /mu/ only eats it up because fantony gave it some love and they don't want a nigger album to be the best this year.
>>60939876
Ouch, that hurts. Such a meanie.
>>60939879
That ain't right.
>>60940812
>being this delusional
>>60940807
>no World Princess Pt. II
why
>>60940896
back to le lebbit my friend ;^)
>>60940881
Agreed. Visions is still the best of the decade.
>>60940916
i dunno what it is
>>60940940
That's a really cool gif of the album cover. I still think Pom Pom is better than both, but I like Visions way more than Art Angels.
>>60939825
Pop album of the decade goes to Ariel and St. Vincent comes in second. Grimes isn't even close.
Some tracks really fuck you up, and not in a good way, specifically the one where shes fast talking in another language, i skipped that track every time after the first listen desu
Every other track is listenable, i enjoyed the rest of it
Somebody post that nasty picture of grimes with the sweaty moustache and acne
>>60941278
Source?
>>60941744
>the one where shes fast talking in another language
It's not Grimes. The track features Taiwanese rapper Aristophanes. Grimes only produced and screamed there.
>>60941795
Having a brain.
>>60941856
still not a valid argument
>>60941830
Hm, i couldnt get into it regardless, thats an interesting fact though, i guess i should research more before critiquing.
It's as if a low tiered producer at a major label produced a record for "that one weird white girl at school." The production is amateurish but is excused because "you just don't get it." It's literally pretentious music for normies.
>>60941923
Leave, you fat middle-aged shitposting fuck
>>60941942
Last sentence don't make any sense to me but the rest is like you read my mind.
>>60941927
Bitch please, there is nothing amateurish about the production on Art Angels. Every song is meticulously detailed and sounds great.
You only hate on it because it was made by a quirky girl or whatever
>>60941923
>get make music that requires 0% talent
then do it, faggot
>>60941873
Biting the bait this hard. Jesus Christ, anon. You're better than this.
>>60941942
>The production is amateurish
You are deaf then.
>>60941923
this anon knows. get mad waifushitters
>>60941949
That is the vibe I got from the start. Won't even bother with this then.
>>60942017
>trying to find an excuse for having no talent
pathetic human being
>>60942017
see
>>60942017
>>60942061
you must feel pain then
Reminder that art angels is worse than visions
Didnt really like it on the first listen. Gave it a few more and I enjoy it. Id rate it a solid 7/10
>>60942038
there are no 'waifushitters' in this thread tho
>>60941982
>Last sentence don't make any sense to me
I'm saying that she is being pushed to be some sort of "alternative" pop. See: Lana del Rey, Halsey.
>>60942084
more like a reminder that RYM is a dogshit
>>60942132
More like you're just wrong.
>>60942121
Being pushed by herself? Do some research before you shitpost.
>>60941949
>she had a lot of financial backers on this album
>not providing any proof
>>60942118
yeah ok
It's a terrible album. It's a fucking joke. Every positive review about it can basically be summed up to "she's a woman, and it's her time."
Mind you this is coming from someone who loved Visions and her split with d'Eon. Those albums had such a solid vision in comparison to Art Angels, i'm starting to think all of her career up to that point has just been one big fluke.
>>60942046
it's totally false desu
TPAB is a 7/10, which is about the norm for a Kendrick album
Art Angels is also a 7/10, but considering that Visions was a 4/10, she gets points for serious improvement.
>>60942206
If by "solid vision" you mean "tacky production with unbearable vocals that sound like she's singing out of her nostrils" then yeah, i agree.
>>60942206
And your criticism can basically be summed up as, "There's no vision, her career is a fluke," which has just as little substance as the praise you're calling out
>>60937752
it's okay.
Didn't like it much, and I doubt I will give it further listens. Visions was hardly a masterpiece, but the songs on this one just annoy me most of the time, with the exception of California and Realiti.
>>60942257
I'm saying she's lost it. I get what she's doing, I get what she's going for, and it's not good.
>>60942281
>I doubt I will give it further listens
Pretty common mistake tbqh.
Are you talking about NME?
They're a hype-rag. They want clicks and views. They declared this album of the year almost as soon as it was released. They wanted to create controversy so they could earn some ad revenue.
>>60942309
I gave it three listens and it's complete crap. Doesn't help that the production is all over the place either. Visions was a much more humble album and it's really what kept it together imo
>>60942309
Sorry, but what reason would there be for me to listen to this pop album, clearly selling itself on catchy beats, when I found it more annoying than anything else?
>>60942377
cuz i thought the same but it really grows on me with each listen
>>60937752
Decide for yourself, /mu/ isn't here to spoonfeed you.
>>60942330
That's the truth right there.
>>60937752
YAS THAT COVER THO ART ANGELS SLAAAY
Don't bother. It's trash.
>>60937752
I still can't believe this album exists. 40 minutes of incredible material and nothing is out place. Amazing at the first listen yet many intricacies that reveal themselves upon multiple listens. There's nothing like this in post-rock in terms of composition and execution.
>>60937960
Concentrating on Art Angels is a waste of time really...
>>60939948
Pin is objectively best.
It gets rid of Grimes' terrible screechy voice and replaces it with generic pop garbage. Shit album for women and gays.
>>60942084
I'm glad that my 0.5 could help :^}
>>60937752
It's a bit shit IMO, not horrendous by any means but definitely sub-mediocre
Also stop asking /mu/ to give you your taste, listen to it yourself and form your own opinion you dingle
(new anco album will be pop aotd btw)
>>60937752
1,5 tracks were good, the rest is just generic pop music. I always loved Grimes for her shitty mixing and Lo-Fi stuff, like Tonetta does. But this one sounds like every other album. Production time: 2 weeks. That's how it felt.
I didn't liked the album that much but the song Realiti is amazing.
>>60942084
they are actually about the same in quality and both are worse than halfaxa and geadi primes (patrician sensibilities)
>>60944596
Only tracks worth mentioning:
- Kill V. Maim
>>60944759
Kill V. Maim is a pile of crap.
>mfw I've never listened to Grimes in my life
>mfw finding out she's from Vancouver like me
the fuck.
Should I bother listening to her or not.
>>60945037
your mom is a pile of crap
>>60939948
Kill V. Maim is fucking addictive
AA is brilliant, not a masterpiece or anything but it has novelty, she brings new shit to the table, that's all you can really ask for in music, like it or not. i think it's her best work yet. not even a grimes fan but it's worth a listen.
>>60945757
yes, you should desu
Geidi Primes > Art Angels > Visions
I've only listened to Halfaxa once.

Realiti
Pin
Art Angles
Kill V. Maim
that's about it I think
>teenage hipster girl garbage
>thinks aoty was to fly a butterpimp by kenny duckworth
Aa wasnt as good as visions but there are only two bad songs. Its definitely better than kendrick rapping over 90's hip hop imitation beats about the exploitation of black culture which he literally made a career off of. Of course grimes is an insufferable feminist so w/e.
>>60939948
I agree with you.
>>60948817
but grimes tried the same shit on AA
why couldn't she get a canadian female rapper instead of some literal who Taiwanese Rapper.
at least the hip hop community is all about helping their local homies out.
>>60937752
Listen to it and form your own opinion
>>60948869
it was a female, doesn't have to be Canadian
imagine if there were no borders and all the men were sterilised
>>60948948
ya but why not help girls in her hometown out?I'm sure anybody who have loved the chance to work with grimes
Kendrick works with his compton crew. why didn't grimes?
>>60948980
eat shit you statist fucking shit, all women are her crew
>>60949000
stop avoiding the subject. why not women from canada?
>>60949025
what the fuck? can you't you read or are you dumb?
>>60949045
Are you? throwing insults at me when I asked why does kendrick always helps his crew from compton and grimes doesn't?
>>60949025
because the very idea of a crew is retarded, just look at what happened to young money or hunders of other crews ffs
>>60949076
I already explained, you're either daft or ignoring it yourself
>>60949087
I still think she could have looked locally for somebody to put on than some random Taiwanese Rapper. She could have done fun event via twitter and have local artist send their stuff and be picked to work with her on the album
>>60937752
I saw the same thing and decided to listen before reading into it anymore. It's good. It's got some songs worth returning to. It's really fun at some points. But this shit is not touching TPAB.
>>60938170
>fairly bad
it's actually impressive how awful Scream is
>>60937752
Both that and TPAB are hipster garbage, get into some good music for once.
>>60937797
they both are pretty bad
>>60937869
then music is totally fucked and dead
>>60939948
top 3
life in a vivd dream
pin
california
>>60950677
forgot kill v maim thats obejectivly the albums best track lol
>>60939948
butterfly
world princess pt.ii
pin
People are PRAISING this shit on RYM! They're even defending Scream
>>60950677
california has to be one of the worst songs I've heard in a while
if you like this album somehow then at the very least you have to acknowledge that california is some shit
>>60951525
song makes me cringe.
>>60951635
why because thats what fantano said shit nig get a thought
>>60940807
I would have kept the intro
>>60951835
use your ears please
i would literally rather have grimes force me to suck the condesation off her zit-caked sweaty mexi-stache in that disgusting picture of her than listen to california one more time
>>60940812
go back to /pol/
>>60946561
fuck off and die
>>60946561
>albums that suck
>Marina and the Diamonds - The Family Jewels
>>60953024
both options seem good to me
Mu hates it
I skimmed it. Hated it
Listening to it and its not that bad
>>60954610
/mu/ didn't hate this album. only reactionist "faggot" knee-jerk mutants did
>>60946561
Literal homosexual
>>60954867
you just described the people who "like" the album
>>60955258
explain to me how this album appeals to reactionaries
Scream is probably the most underrated song on the album. It's basically the musical representation of pure mania. It makes me want to have really rough sex, drive super fucking fast, and rip someones face off. I think it's awesome that it's on the same album as Flesh without Blood and Realiti, makes me respect Grimes a lot for truly not giving a fuck and just doing what she wants
>>60955360
to the "radicals", the opposite shit end of the spectrum
it appeals to the social justice type that love to hype and create a narrative of standing in defense of their perceived darlings and what they are peddling
then there's the waifufags, poptimists, teenagers, edgy teenagers and a whole umbrella of people who buy into AA having depth and need to validate their own "depth" by imagining more depth where there is none - the emperor has no clothes
it's really fucking ugly
>>60955522
Well said.
