is anybody surprised?
I legit expected a 9.4 and I thought the album was terrible.
Kill V Maim is an alright song tho, only cause it reminds me of Gucci Gucci.

the review reads like an advertisement
why didnt they mention scream, one of the singles? they gave the album an 8.5 but the review is hardly negative if at all
>>60290480
Yeah. I thought it was going to get a 9.0+
>>60290513
Because scream was bad and they know if they talked about it everyone would point that out.
really though, P4k scores are redundant. Its that one specific person's opinion on what good music is and people from that place are pretty pretentious.
The album is neither here nor there but honestly it just doesn't feel like a worthwhile album.
If Art Angels is an 8.5 then Divers is a 10.5
>>60290545
if divers is a 10.5 then HYIMW is a 13
>>60290533
>Because scream was bad and they know if they talked about it everyone would point that out.
yea thats what i was thinking
>>60290553
juliafags pls go, nobody asked your opinion
>>60290565
>says the Joannafag
still butthurt that Divers was a disappointment I see.
>>60290585
I already said it was a 10.5
HYIMW is a 7 at best, it's lazy by comparison
>>60290603
Lucette Stranded on the Island is better than anything off of Divers tenfold.
>>60290607
'no'
>>60290603
no you said it was a 10.5 if Art Angels is an 8.5
Art Angels is actually a 4.5, so that would make divers a 6.5, and HYIMW a 10 which is completely accurate.
>>60290656
it's like I'm really on Reddit
>>60290674
Its like I really wanted a rise out of you and was being a total smartass.
>>60290480
>is anybody surprised?
not at all. I guessed about a lower 8, and that it would be celebrated mainly for its social 'meaning'
>>60290690
>I was only pretending to be retarded!
Congrats.
>I got a reply on a website where people reply to each other!
Astounding.
>bnm
>only 8.5
>paid review confirmed for p4k's reluctance to give it a legit BNM score
I don't know why you guys hate this so much yet love Visions. They're basically the same thing, heck there are some interesting experiments like Kill v. Maim and Butterfly or SCREAM as opposed to straightforward synth/dreampop on Visions.

"The album is an epic holiday buffet of tendentious feminist fuck-off, with second helpings for anonymous commenters" this is a review?
i thought it was going to get a bnm but not that high so i was kinda right i guess? its still WAY too high though
the weird thing is that for some reason, i thought they had given visions an 8.8 back in 2012
different reviewers i know, but its still ridiculous, theres just no way theyre the same
>>60291421
i dont hate it but i definitely prefer visions
imagine the songs on art angels with the production style of visions and her voice being less audible and more dream pop like
this couldve been really good :/
4.8/10
disappointing, with only Kill V. Maim, Realiti and Butterfly being memorable songs - 3 out of 14 sometimes quite lenghty tracks
>>60290482
>I legit expected a 9.4 and I thought the album was terrible.
Holy shit, really? I mean, considering the tosh they do hand out ratings like that to (Tame Impala, Kendrick Lamar, etc.) I wouldn't be surprised but Grimes isn't nearly prolofic or trendy enough in 2015 to warrant that sort of approval. She's already a made gal.
Loved Visions. Love this.
Famtano didn't care for Visions and thought AA was a significant improvement.
>>60291530
It's a really shitty review. I really like Art Angels, and there is some explicitly feminist stuff on there (I would say Venus Fly qualifies as a whole, for instance) but to claim the whole album is about feminism? Ha!
Interpreting "I'm only a man/do what I can" as hatred toward men is ridiculous as well.
>>60291841
You're forgetting how good Easily, Pin, and World Princess II are, just off the top of my head.
>>60290482
they already decided TPAB would be aoty half a year ago, some gremlin-looking canadian isn't going to change that
>>60293974
all of those are pretty terrible tho
I listened last night and liked it quite a bit
Yes, because /mu/ said it was shit.
Reserving judgment until I find a version without DJ AARON ELLIS.
>>60291421
Visions has that quaint, bedroom tinkerer aesthetic.
Art Angels is pure garbage. Let's be real. If a grimes song doesnt involve an arpeggiator its going to be garbage.
>>60294029
>Pin
>bad
CEASE
>>60294056
Spotify.
>>60294056
Listen on Spotify, faggot.
>>60294029
pin isnt terrible
i think flesh, both realiti, kill and pin are the best
california, easily and princess are pretty bad tho
>>60290480
it's a saving grace score.
not a bad album really I just prefer baby voice soothing grimes then this.
vanessa will always be my fav song from her
>you only like me when you think I'm looking sad
No wonder every criticism is coming from bitter waifu virgins.
this reads like a SJW manifesto
California a best. BEST!
>p4k endorsed musician gets a bnm
HOLY HECK
>>60290553
If HIYMW is a 13 then Angry Kid is a 27
>relax new friend all fight u
>8.5
This album is pure marketing
>>60290480
/mu/ BTFO
i've listened to this album 4 times now and there's no way in fuck it's above a 6.5
just... awful. pop instrumentation and songwriting does not work with her style.
>>60294283
What surprises me is the amazingly small fanbase jonathan has outside of /mu/ which im sure affects the way patricians view his album
Whether he is a shill or not Angry Kid is much better than two or three shilltrolls would have you believe
Why is there all this stuff about feminism in the review?
>>60290480
No one except the angry Fantano fanboys who judged the entire album based on FWB and wanted their feels to be validated. Perfect pop album.
>>60294631
back to tumblr
>>60294619
B/c Pitchfork needs to make everything political
>>60294619
To piss you off
Mike please trash this album some more
half the review is basically "these songs could have been written by someone else"
the other half is random claims of feminism
>>60294016
Why would they give Views from the 6 AOTY anyway?
>>60290513
>they gave the album an 8.5 but the review is hardly negative if at all
>Implying 8.5 is low
Is p4k like videogame sites now -- anything below an 8 is a pan?!
Jesus fuck.
>>60294244
ya im pretty sure they really close or some shit she was talking to the head p4k guy in that one pic and like headlined their festival for a review or some shit. idk.
>>60297769
who said 8.5 was low? its just weird how little criticism was in this review
Kill V. Maim is the best song she's ever written
Pop song of the year desu senpai
>>60297822
>its just weird how little criticism was in this review
It's because the review was mandated, and the score is always chosen by the editor.
FKA twigs' LP1 got 8.8 and it is about 1000000x better than this album.
>>60294619
to anger autists like you
>>60296682
This guy...
>>60291421
As someone new to this whole Grimes thing I'm gonna have to agree wholeheartedly. All her stuff sounds the same to me. In a good way mind you. But the new album ain't exactly much different from the old albums.
>>60291421
I hate both
Grimes is the definition of a Meme artist, she's the indie darling who can do no wrong, and she's also a feminist so her musical motives, if backed by feminism, can also never be bad
>>60299140
wat do u think of the music though? u dont like some cute synth or dream pop? do u even like 80s pop music at all?
Divers is a 5/10
HYIMW is a 5/10
Art Angels is a 4/10
If you guys want to know what a great 2015 release is supposed to sound like, listen to Tuxedo's s/t debut or Made in Brazil by Eliane Elias.
Also, Kill V Maim and Realiti are the worst songs on Art Angels, Sapokanikan is the worst track on Divers, and Sea Calls me Home is the worst track on HYIMW.
>>60299373
>made in brazil by eliane elias
oh my kek, thanks for the rec. Now I have the best proof available to the theory bossa nova is dead
>>60299373
>Tuxedo's s/t debut
I rather listen to Prince.
>>60299373
>HYIMW anywhere near Divers
LMAO
>>60292251
>Tame Impala
>not deserving a legit 9 score
neo /mu/ is getting even more retarded every month
>>60299992
>Tame Impala is good
>calls others neomu
Oh for fuck's sake just fuck off. I bet you weren't even on this board when their debut came out. Their latest album was mediocre trash, and if your taste is so godawful you really think it's a 9/10 album then fuck off to reddit.
>>60294619
No idea. It's in the album, but not anywhere near as much as this p4k review makes it out to be.
LEL
why are you guys mad?
>>60299992
that album had some really shitty tracks...
past life is a terrible song, and the best song on the album fades out inexplicably.
grimes > julia holter > joanna newsom samberg
