Who likes all Grimes albums? (Yes, including Art Angels.)
>>64626299
Yeah me, she's a pretty interesting artist to follow. Visions is very very good, but Art Angels is superior probably solely because of Realiti, Flesh Without Blood and World Princess pt2
her discography is lit
>>64626328
By chance, did you listen to Darkbloom EP or rare stuff like Lethe EP?
I like her music but I really hate her fans.
>>64626328
all of them are good. art angels is her best.
>>64626348
why would you have a feeling towards her fans? i never understand this, like when every time tool comes up people mention their fanbase.
>>64626343
>Lethe EP
what is this? pre geidi primes?
Venus Fly is best song
>>64626343
Yep
>>64626348
Pretty much this. The waifufags kinda ruin it
>>64626343
I've got Lethe if anyone wants it
I want more songs like SCREAM and Eight
>>64626376
Yep.
>>64626402
Agreed. Eight is my shit
>>64626392
>I've got Lethe if anyone wants it
yes please
I've always liked colour of moonlight
>>64626402
>SCREAM
did i dream this or did i read somewhere she was doing another song with aristophanes?
>>64626299
I've listened to all of them, and I find my opinion changes each time I come back to them.
I fell in love with Halfaxa, then moved to Geidi Primes, but now I'm listening to Visions again and it is my current favorite.
I find what ruins her albums most for me are several 10/10 tracks followed up by a 6/10 or even sometimes a 3/10.
Overall, she is great.
>>64626359
>when every time tool comes up people mention their fanbase.
Because tool, while enjoyable, are something most people find paired with the fan base. I never have an urge to seek out Tool so when it shows up with such a horrid group of people I get a bad taste in my mouth. The fanbase surrounding Tool is the dopehead college student who just discovered cough syrup, and Karl Marx turned up to 11.
>>64626376
Yes. Grimes made a lot of non-album songs, some of them performed only live. You can find a really good download on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Grimes/comments/4g84rl/grimes_downloads_various_rare_collaborations/
(Lethe EP included)
>>64626299
I Loved EVERY song on Art Angels.
least one i liked was SCREAM but all the other songs were fucking awesome.
Visions was a super emotional album for me
i loved Skin especially the part when she says "And you can't, and you can't See the weight in the trees And you can't, and you can't See the weight of the leaves"etc was one of those grade a moments in an album
Halfaxa was really hard to get into but eventually understood it, was probably Hardest album of hers to click for me.
>>64626431
Alright, it'll just be a minute famalam
Any fan of her Ave Maria cover? http://picosong.com/KCXe
It's heartbreakingly beautiful IMO.
I just listened to Gambang and accidentally chewed a nail clean off
>>64626464
>I find what ruins her albums most for me are several 10/10 tracks followed up by a 6/10 or even sometimes a 3/10.
that was a problem i kinda had to with her but art angels is fucking consistent throughout
you don't have to lump yourself with anyone to enjoy something
>>64626328
When realiti plays it makes the rest of album just seem not as good and its kind of upsetting
>>64626491
I agree that Halfaxa is her most difficult album. The first half is more accessible than the second one, though.
As for SCREAM, there's an instrumental version (with screams included): http://picosong.com/KUfY
It may help you understand the song better.
>>64626547
Yeah exactly!
Realiti is an incredible song, same with David (currently unreleased but from the same period Realiti was made), my two absolute favourite grimes tracks t b h :^)
>>64626529
Sublime song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWam7u9uBNY
And it's just 1 minute and a half.
>>64626547
realiti is so good, she was crazy for not wanting to put that on an album
>>64626533
I'm listening to Art Angels again after seeing the praise, and fuck I forgot how good this was.
And the problem isn't lumping yourself in with them. It's that in the rare cases when I listen to Tool on my own I am reminded of the fanbase which ruins the mood of the music for me. The same thing happened for me with the Beatles. I can't listen to them without being reminded of the fanbase that exists.
>>64626579
David was an overachiever, a glory hog. RIP
>>64626590
Speaking of Realiti, I really don't understand why many dismiss the album version. It may not be as good as the demo version, but it has some additional parts and the end it's amazing.
>>64626614
Art Angels is catchy as fuck if you get into it. It's a damn mind virus. :)
>>64626622
>>64626579
Someone did a studio version of David: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbCQKudXzBE
>>64626464
>I find what ruins her albums most for me are several 10/10 tracks followed up by a 6/10 or even sometimes a 3/10.
I thought the same about those 6/10 and 3/10 tracks that you mention. But they grow on you after you listen to them enough times.
>>64626614
>I am reminded of the fanbase
you gotta stop caring man, can't keep yourself from enjoying shit just cuz you don't like the people who do
>>64626667
>Art Angels is catchy as fuck if you get into it. It's a damn mind virus. :)
i know right? it was all i listened to in my car for like 5 months
>>64626710
This really helps me appreciate the mixing of A.A., this is kind of painful to listen to tbch
>>64626766
>you gotta stop caring man
I know I do because both Tool and the Beatles have a large amount of music I actually enjoy.
>>64626755
>But they grow on you after you listen to them enough times.
This has been my experience with the majority of music commonly recommended here. Albums have gone from complete trash to 10/10 after repeated listens.
but art angels is the best one
>>64626565
ah thanks definitly gonna check that out
>>64626769
It's amateurish. Hopefully Grimes will not forget about David. She has 1 TB of unreleased music, hopefully she will release a B-sides/rarities compilation or something.
>>64626801
The instrumental is very Nine Inch Nails-like. I like that whistling sound that appears from time to time.
>>64626789
Sometimes the music that seems trash on a first listen becomes one of your favorites. People have short attention span these days, so many don't give a good artist a fair listen.
>>64626809
I'd guess a lot of it is samples and vocal takes, like scattered stuff
>>64626897
But among that unreleased stuff, there must be at least 20 complete songs, plus that scrapped album before Art Angels.
>>64626928
i thought she said there was no album?
>>64626928
Is she too critical of herself? I don't think it would really matter if something sucked if it was given away for free
>>64626985
>I don't think it would really matter if something sucked if it was given away for free
well that explains all those death grips albums
>>64626949
It was.
>For one, she revealed that the project was never really “scrapped” as was widely reported. At the time, many thought the negative reaction to her single “Go”, originally written for Rihanna, led to Boucher trashing the entire album. “Basically, I was doing a bunch of stuff, and maybe a bit before ‘Go,’” she explained, noting that “Go” was never intended for the record anyway. “I was like, ‘You know, my life is getting a lot better. I’m going to put all this stuff on a hard drive and start again. There were just hundreds of songs — on this album that I’m making now, there’s at least a hundred songs that won’t make it onto this. I think all musicians have songs that don’t make it onto records.”

>>64626985
Yes, she too critical of herself. I bet she didn't release perfectly fine songs because she thought they're not good enough.
>there’s at least a hundred songs that won’t make it onto this
Just how many albums Claire could release...
>>64627040
Forgot to add this:
>Still, she implied that there is an album in this “lost” material and that she’ll “probably put it out for free at some point.”

Sorry it's taking so long, my connection is slow as tits
>>64627155
I already posted here >>64626478 a link to many rarities, bootlegs, instrumentals, collabs, unreleased stuff. Lethe is there too.

this isnt instrumental
the lyrics are still present
this is the instrumental version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8erNc4n-zs
>>64627307
No worries my dude
>>64627364
My bad. I uploaded the wrong version. :/
>>64627277
is it good?
in your personal opinion that is
>>64627576
If you like Geidi Primes you'll find something you like about Lethe.
I personally enjoy it. You can definitely tell it's at the start of her career, but there's some good stuff there.
>>64627576
Like this >>64627641 anon said, if you like Geidi Primes you will probably like this too. It's minimalist and dreamy.
>>64626299
I like Art Angels the most. The songs there are just so melodic.
The rest are pretty cool, but i don't see anything that special about them.
Cute music
>>64626299
art angels sounds like that 90s girl pop band b*witched
think about it
>>64628073
But that's lesbiancore
>>64628073
It doesn't sound at all. You're fooled by the bubbly vocals. Listen closely to the instrumentals. There's a lot of great stuff here.
As an example, how does this Kill V. Maim instrumental sound even remotely close to Bwitched? http://picosong.com/hvnB
>>64626384
Some may say it's Oblivion or Realiti.
>>64626402
Did you hear Ya Vas Lyubil? It's like a proto-Scream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiVPvFy69NY
no she is utter shit now
her early work isnt bad though
>>64629906
other way round, she's only now gitting gud
