Well, this was a bit disappointing.
it's fucking terrible
Why, because you don't like halfway decent pop music?

It's really fucking good.

>halfway decent pop music
Right, I like good pop music. Grimes used to do that.
would be 3x better without the mundane instrumentation
electronic grimes best grimes
Realiti, Butterfly, Kill v. Maim, Pin, and Venus Fly are some of the strongest pop songs I've heard.
Its quite a wonderful journey into the world of Grimes.

Her learning to play all those instruments for the album only added to her strengths as a producer.
>>60306241
u wouldnt know a strong pop song if it bit u in the ass punk
>>60306241
Agree, it's almost like an American version of J-pop with her own twist on it.
this is a cool album. even the songs I didn't like I can appreciate.
second half is where is at though

>second half is where is at though
This. It is very back-loaded, although I like the opener too.
HEY WHAT ABOUT ME OOH WHY YOU LOOKING AT ME
Janelle Monae was a perfect fit for Venus Fly.

I know right, their voices were surprisingly well together
>no more electronic grimes
I'm disappointed but not with her, looks like that's the type of music she likes now
> >>60306388 this is the only song i like, the album version of realiti sucks
came to /mu/ specifically just to talk about this.
honestly i wanted to hate this but i like it a LOT. it's really doing it for me even though it doesn't sound like visions at all
She needs more focus. I think she should try to make a concept album.
>>60306418
>>60306452
ugh, I thought it was horrible
I listened to it yesterday and didn't get much out of it. Flesh Without Blood is alright, Realiti should have stayed the same. Visions is still a solid album I guess.
>>60306165
>settling for halfway decent pop music when you could instead be listening to top tier pop music
this is why the quality of /mu/ is fucking awful
it's like you guys are okay with having low standards
What do you think TMT will give it?
AOTY - You can bet money on it. I personally guarantee it!
>>60306138
Universal acclaim according the Metacritic.
It completely lacks direction and atmosphere.
Say what you want about Visions not being diverse enough, the music was able to transport the listener into uniform headspace. Art Angels is a 4-year old that got to pick out his or her outfit for the first time.
>>60306138
>90 on Metacritic
How.
It replaced 'Dead Petz' as my pop AOTY. Good energy. Confident delivery. 7/10. Fun stuff. It's about 3 songs too long where it loses momentum towards the end but altogether, a satisfying listen.
>literally everything about it, be it arrangements or vocals, are pure garbage
>Fantano and Pitchfork gave this a 7 or higher
I mean, I guess it's alright?
>>60306138
im listening to it now and am having a good time.
Vote for best female pop album
