>>64556786
I'm thoroughly confused by the praise for it. I'm a Weezer fan, and I was really underwhelmed. It's not bad, but it's completely forgettable. EWBAITE wasn't consistently great, but it was a step in the right direction. This, however, feels like a less memorable version of the green album.
>>
>>64556827
Well fuck me I was going to post this but got the duplicate file error, nice timing
Really liked TIK, overall better than Skelethon imo
also liked Anna Meredith - Varmints and the Massive Attack EP if that counts, havent listened to much good music this year yet
>>
>>
>>64556921
Impossible Kid was definitely much more succinct than Skelethon. Basically a more refined album with just as good flow / lyrics and production that felt consistent. Easily strong 9 to a light 10 for me.

It's alt-rap at it's core I guess but Aesop has a very specific / unique style. The full album is available to stream on youtube, check it out. If you don't like the more modern sound his older stuff like Labor Days is great too

thanks for the honesty. now im fully turned off and won't waste my time. Is this similar: >>64557028 ?

Wait, so you like a poor vocabulary or something? Huh....

>>64557063
why does everyone like the death grips? All of their old stuff is just a guy mumbling over spastic samples. There is never a rhythm or good lyrics. What is the song that is making everyone like them? Ive only heard the ones that dont sound like music, apparently...

>>64557065

Lol I guess some Drake fans are a little salty that he dropped a shit tape and got BTFO while other rappers are still going strong.

Why don't you form your own opinion because Aesop is widely regarded as one of the best and most influential rappers in the alt-rap movement

will give this a try though
>>
>>64557196
It's a blanket term. It doesn't mean much of anything other than that it's not gangsta rap, boom-bap, or any specific sound that someone might be looking for. What else are you going to call it? Like any other genre there's good music and shitty music

>>64557218
OME's album "Dark Comedy" is far more accessible. If you dont care to abide by the 2016 rule of this thread, that might be a better place to start

I was being serious, btw. I dont mean to troll, it is just frustrating I guess because I dont understand the Death Grips at all.

I started liking them after listening to Jenny Death (best tracks: On GP, Centuries of Damn and Inanimate Sensation) and, to be honest, I don't really know why, it's like something just clicked.

I like their music now because it's raw and primal, listening to them is almost the equivalent of getting back at your ex for all the shit she's done, it just unloads you emotionally, but as I said, I can't say why I started liking them, I just did.
>>
>>64556413
Yeah, but what's up with the 3rd track???
>>
>>64557414
Fair enough... Ill check out these songs. I tend to observe what is wrong with a song before the inverse. It is fairly rare for me to hear a song and have it just "click" but, of course, it does happen. I just recently gave Incubus' "SCIENCE" a listen and I got a case of the clicks
