Art Angels was definitely a departure from the old Grimes, and a lot of people weren't please with her new sound being a lot more glossy, polished, and generally "radio". But a lot of people, myself included, love this album. At first I was disappointed with the new style and mad she'd slipped into the mainstream. But after really stepping back, I'm starting to feel like if Grimes wants to do this who am I to judge. She's not the underground bedroom producer anymore, but Grimes turned out to be a great pop artist. I'm starting to think she never sold out, and this is just who she is now.
And I'm pretty into it.
I'm pretty into it as well. "Sell out" is just a lazy insult by people that never understood Grimes to begin with.
This is not an average pop album, I would say this is more like a critical pop album. Grimes is not just making pop songs, she really tried to make something new. The songs in this album, are, by far, more complex than in Visions. In an interview Grimes said that many songs from Visions she just made them in one day while she spent on this album 1 year.

no its your average pop album with a bitch of tumblr quirk (screaming, quirky sound effects) to appeal to the tumblr crowd
>>61442667
Go back to tumblr then
if you actually knew grimes before, you would know art angels was a natural progression. late bandwagon fuccbois desu senpai baka.
maybe. I mean mr bungle did it very well when they made california, so its not impossible.
nah, the album is just another example of an artist on their way down, scraping the bottom of the barrel for ideas
should have never hit gold with Visions, bb, everything and everyone after that ruined Grimeth, hastened the progress of her going to shit

i come to these threads to read pathetic posts like this
>>61442348
are you implying that grimes wasn't pop before this album?
also, why the fuck do people not talk about geidi primes and halfaxa? way better than her last two albums t b h
>>61442811
nope
whatever natural progression there was, it was scrapped in favour of art angels - a piece of shit mutant freak, grimes mixed with yolo and swag brainretarded gender politics
>>61442904
contrarian thing to say, edgy, I like it
but the truth is Visions was Geidi and Halfaxa perfected and Art Angels the undoing
>>61442980
nah, i thought visions was a bit boring honestly. The singles where great, but as an album it was lacking something.

This
Visions has been very overrated.I think that most of the people who say Visions is good haven't heard other songs appart from Genesis and Oblivion. And most of the people who say art angels is a bad abum haven't heard others songs appart from Flesh without blood and Scream

you are imagining and projecting like fuck
