>Generally the soprano signifies purity, which has never been my idea of virtue, not to mention fun. And given how hard it is to achieve, there can be a vanity to it as well—or in earlier Claire Boucher, a self-regarding freakishness. But on this pop-yet-not breakthrough, that pretension is blown away by generous tunes, changeable grooves, and dedicated intensity of purpose. This singer-composer-producer is neither cute nor ethereal, and although the consistency of her register is an affectation by definition, she'll convince anyone who isn't a grouch that she's just being herself, not merely female but, fuck you, feminine—the fairie she likes to claim crossed with a charming three-year-old getting what she wants. Which includes adrenaline highs and mitigated perversity and California love and pornography in phonetic Chinese. She embodies hyperfeminist individualism for a post-rock mindset that likes a good beat fine. A
christgau no ;_;
He gave The New Classic an A btw.

hater plebs btfo, not that everyone didn't already know that.
>mu hates this album
>>61260769
he gave it an A-, which he deals out to pretty much anything he vaguely likes. A's are more serious, less common. An A+ is very rare.

You got BTFO now get outta here

>>61261132
fuck off faggot
>>61260685
I'be always avoided Grimes because of all the waifu fagging and in general bullshit surrounding her, but I listened to this today and it was actually pretty great

>>61262453
thanks, i also have rare grims if you want
>>61264051
Not a Grimes collector myself, but I appreciate the offer m8.
>>61260685
Maybe I'm a pleb but it's hard to understand what Christgau is saying in most of his reviews. He uses confusing/flowery language and sentence structure to sound "patrician".
>>61260864
>Implying his A+ for Kala isn't objectively correct
>>61260685
Ow. Really impressive specially "
>This singer-composer-producer is neither cute nor ethereal, and although the consistency of her register is an affectation by definition
Grimes is the shit.
You face when Madonna lost her Throne
>>61264171
You're just a pleb. Christgau gets more insight out of a blurb than Fantano would in a 15 minute video, or Scaruffi in one of his barely literate essays.
>>61260864
I like both M.I.A. And art angels, is this uncommon? Not that anon btw
>>61264345
nah, I'm the same

>For a while I was afraid they were going to get encrusted in their own snot, but they really are an ordinary dance band from Athens, Georgia, which turns out to be no ordinary thing. David Byrne isn't the secret, just the secret ingredient--one more semipopulist with his own bag of tricks, like fellow ingredient Ralph Carney except his bag's bigger. A "party" record that never invokes that pooped word, this six-cut mini lists for $5.98, as good a deal as onion dip.
If this isn't pretentious, I don't know what is.

>make a Ray of Light sounding album in 2015
>'Madonna BTFO'
