>>64615631
interesting that you still fail to list any "interesting" harmony usage beyond basic pop songwriting rules, so painfully obvious that you have never learned anything theory related
>>64615631

WHEN ARE LINKS GOING UP
This album's pretty good but it's pretty much more of the same. I'm halfway through and I haven't heard a great "SUDDENLY IM HIT" like moment yet.
>>64615756
There's the first criticism that I can appreciate.
It doesn't stop you being a 12 year-old brat who doesn't understand music, but at least a modicum of thought went into your post.

great album HORRIBLE ALBUM ART

>>64615706
> but became more prevalent in its current meaning in the 1970s and 80s by scholars in a wide variety of social sciences and critics
Its a term made up by people who wanted to criticize it. It groups together distinct, concurrent and contradictory tendencies. Its a fucking scarecrow and means nothing IRL

>>64615756
>how can one mans style have stayed so similar throughout every single release / boring formulaic trash
It takes an inexperienced ear to be so unable to distinguish the differences between a new song like "Choose Me" and an old song like "Limit to Your Love"...
>trash marketed to people who want to appear artsy and intellectual
...and it takes a tryhard to criticize music by mentioning some people who listen to it.

Where is this link even coming from? The album isn't out anywhere and certainly not in 320, it's probably a stream rip transcode
>>64616148
Don't be a faggot, 90% of the music you listen to is simpler than James Blake's.
>>64616057
Sounds good. Legit.
>>64616148
there is no novelty or revolution possible in harmony nowadays
all truly revolutionary music is post-harmonic now
>>64616186
spek tells me it's 320 so....
I've never listened to him but, judging from his album covers, I expect his music to be boring.
>>64616249
can you post a pic?

go away
>>64614850
same
>>64616272
I'm trained in classical harmony and have studied serial/total serial music.
James Blake is still great for pop/popular music.
I'm really drunk and this is the perfect album to just get the feels flowing
Highly rec if you are drunk or high and feeling down and listen to this album
>his vocs are so on point more than the other albums
>>64616251
(You)
People won't fall for this... Right?
>>64616310
That was chromaticism.
Do you need a reminder of how to read chord symbols?
>>64616272
I actually agree with you in part
I think the other anon's >muh harmony was quite pedant and arrogant, and the fact that the harmony is really not that wild makes it a little pathetic. Anyway, I don't think his' was a good argument for defending music at all
>>64616251
>I expect his music to be boring
Dedicate yourself to the commission of suicide.
>>64616366
whatever you want to think faggot, I'm still right.

I take it you didn't respond to the guy who posted, "Respond to this post or your dick falls off tonight."
>>64616421
the what.cd upload is from google play yeah
FLAC IS OUT ON WCD
For people who are arguing about harmony, in this cover Blake adds something quite interesting:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48ctczjFdQE
Db - Ebm - Eb7 - B - Gb
I don't get why the Eb7 works so well given that it's not in the harmonic field of Db mixolidian and neither resolves naturally in B
But I know this is a common trope for him
>>64616467
You're absolutely right ;_;
>>64616263
way too much hassle for me to post this ffs
>>64616413

>>64616489
can i get an invite
>>64616635

>>64616604
All the chords of the song belong to the Gb major harmonic field but the tonic is Db

>>64615180
50 years ago it was pretty revolutionary to use guitar distortion and feedback... we are so far past the stage where anything can be new and feel like it had been missing from culture until somebody did it. Now people just... try stuff... James Blake is one of the very best around at being a genuine musician and just... trying stuff.

I love it. Can stream music from any browser, decent app on Android, and super easy to use with Chromecast and Android TV.
Also comes with ad-free YouTube that you can stream in the background on your phone.
And the cherry on top is that you can upload 50,000 songs to the cloud for free.

pirateia isso e compra o lp depois anão
It's 12.99 on iTunes
worth it? I'm kinda low on cash rn since I left my campus job for job at home
>>64617306
alright so i work overnights and sometimes i cant get wifi working, can I download songs/albums to listen to offline? also does a subscription entitle me to all of their content or are brand new albums off limits? Deciding between subscribing to this or spotify. I already subscribe to howl so I can only afford so much haha
the wowee zowee of james blake records
drop da flac @t \\420+ my dude
Anyone else a little dissapointed? Even overgrown is better than this, i love the dance friendly tracks. I thought james would go in the direction of 200 press. This sounds like a watered down version of s/t and enough thunder
>>64615211

Yeah, Android and iOS can do offline. The library is very comparable to Spotify. There's been some bands (can't remember who atm) that Google got first.
There's very little I've searched that isn't on GPM.
GODDAMN HOW LONG IS THIS FUCKING ALBUM
IT'S LIKE OVER HOUR AND A HALF
>>64617458
you know what you can gather round?
u can gather round DEEEZ NUTS!!
every single album by an artist /mu/ cared about two years ago has been called AOTY here this year. it's so meaningless to even say it.
>>64617458
it's definitely better than overgrown and i like overgrown more than most. i do wish it was a little more electronic though i i like this a lot
>>64617458
People who only listen to an album once and immediately say their final judgment should never be taken seriously.
Two Men Down is so beautiful towards the end
it's funny how people are saying "what no way this is AOTY" followed by them later eating their words as they listen to it

i dont mind autotune but some parts of this album are too much I think
>>64617930
Wait, so...you guys will listen to a song and not know whether or not you liked it until you listen a few more times? That's so weird. Does that carry over into every aspect of your daily life? I can't imagine how hard it must be for people like you to form opinions on things. Like someone asks you if you like the food you're eating and you go, "Gee I dunno, I need to eat it three more times." If you got raped would the experience be completely neutral for you until you got raped some more? Jesus, what blank slates of men you are. To think that your cognitive ability, not to mention your faith thereof, is so pathetically nonexistent that you hesitate to determine whether or not you enjoy something for fear of being incorrect in your judgment. It baffles the mind. I'm getting dumber just thinking of it. Fuck. Please tell me you're not serious. I don't think I can share a board--nay, a planet--with the likes of such spineless, cowardly weaklings.
>golly gee, timmy york's cord porgressions are so unfathomably complex 0_o ...gonna take a few more listens t o complete my extensive theoretical analysis (all internalized and unrecorded, of course :P ))! maybe mommy will give me good boy points for comprehending the great intricacies underlying yorky dork and the radheads!!
I hate you. I hate everything you stand for. I hate the way you have infiltrated the once good nature of this board, and I hate the opinions you have yet to form. For my sake, for everyone's sake, please never post again. I realize you'll have to read this at least six more times to fully grasp the meaning behind these words, but once you do I sincerely hope you leave. Permanently.

Its getting better as I get through the album. Some of the early autotune cuts were quite jarring I think.
Still not sure if this album is better than the s/t, but im prefering it to overgrown so far.

It's not like you're hearing a single note and you can just be like, "Oh, I really like that note." Think of a painting or some other piece of art you like. Did you just see it and appreciate it immediately, or did you need to look at it for a few minutes? I certainly hope you don't just walk through a gallery or museum glancing at pieces saying "Yes, no, no, no, yes, no, yes…"
Yes, sometimes we see or hear something and we can say we like it right off the bat, but for tunes more complex than 'Avril 14th' or 'Sandstorm' we might just need a bit more time to take them in.
In any case, chill, my nigga.

ha thanks for this. ( though, next time refrain from being so mean at the end there )
Havent listened to this yet, but honestly after the first few tracks i think S/T is boring. Like Overgrown better. Retrograde is the song of life.
