Is Grimes that good?
grimes is trash prove me wrong. it's normiecore
yeah, she is. and it's not even because she's cute. which she also is.
nah she only gets bonus points from tumblr for being an inspiration to women everywhere for having a hairy asshole and being a goblin and proud of it
She's not that bad, I would even go so far as to say she's pretty good, but mainstream music reviewers overrate her music pretty bad.
Better 2bh.
>>64504300
Do you know some other music like her? If there's none, then she's rightly rated.
>>64504124
No. Art Angels is terrible. You can really tell she "knows nothing about music" (she brags about this) when her songs are so cliched. The keys solo bit on "Genesis" is some of the most cringey piano playing I've ever heard.
>>64504646
Also I now feel kind of bad for shit talking. She's cool enough to be doing something people seem to like so good for her. (I think her music is boring though)
>>64504646

Did you ever hear something similar to Art Angels? If yes, what?
>>64504124
no. oh my god, no. just listen to her speak. shes a nimrod who has no idea what she's talking about.
>>64504771
idiot savant
>>64504673
shes really not cool. she dresses like shit and puts too much effort into her appearance
>tfw no grimes gf
>>64504388
god i would love to sniff those pits
>>64504771
She has a lisp; what does this have to do with her music? Or you're just a dumb hater?
>>64504706
because those music sites and magazines couldn't possibly have hidden agendas to emasculate the white boy and cash in on the goblin train that is grimes
>>64504124
No she's terrible but it would be misogynistic to give her a bad rating.
>>64504890
>all the music in the world he could say is used to emasculate white boys
>picks cute music for cute people
>>64504890
>hidden agendas
Wew, tinfoil hat wearer.
She is actually pretty boring and overrated. Average at best
>>64504124
i feel like people overrate her talent because they feel it would be too mean to say "she's ugly and her music is just average". visions was good.
>>64504732
Yeah they're bad pop songs with quirky production. Every song on the album is derivative. If you've never heard Art Angels before you're like 18 years old or something. You're right I've never heard generic pop songs sung with a lisp and retarded maximalist production before though.
I'd much rather listen to something like PC Music for this sort of vibe where the songs are actually interesting.

>i feel like people overrate her talent because they feel it would be too mean to say "she's ugly and her music is just average".
This doesn't make any sense.
>>64505046

Derivative of what? Post some songs.
>I'd much rather listen to something like PC Music for this sort of vibe where the songs are actually interesting.
PC Music is trash.
>>64504706
>liking something because it got good reviews
Of course you like Grimes. You don't even listen to music.
>>64504124
Grimes represents the triumph of style over substance.
>>64505133
Dude I'm not gonna hunt out examples for you. It's cool that you like Art Angels. If you're the anon who wrote
>>64504706
>multiple AOTY by music sites and magazines
I doubt even those reviews claim the album is innovative. I'm sure at least a few of those reviews will have examples for you.
>>64505154
I like her music regardless of those reviews. I posted about them to see that she's respected by critics. Prove it that Art Angels is terrible.
>>64505253
>I doubt even those reviews claim the album is innovative. I'm sure at least a few of those reviews will have examples for you.
Most of them actually. Read them. She has been called a musical genius at least a couple of times.

I don't know about you, but I agree with them.
I'm still amazed that people unironically like Art Angels.
>>64505258
>prove it that art angels is terrible
>>64505356
>shitty 20 yr old writers say she's a musical genius so she must be
Okay, obviously I can't prove an album is terrible on a fucking image board. I'm out of this thread, but before I go:

That's what you're defending. If you like that, well, okay. Nothing I can say.
>poptimism won and music is officially a dead art form
It's not fair!
>mad at Grimeth
>>64505395
I'm still amazed that people that don't like Art Angels exist. What's not to like about this catchy af album?
>>64505441
So, your argument is posting of two of her catchiest songs. "Impressive".
>>64505493
You'd be surprised m8, some just aren't cute enough for Grimes cute music.
>>64505446
music is art, pop is music ===> pop is art.
>>64505560
It's not about cuteness, it's about them hating catchy music. If Grimes would make a noise album, they will be her biggest fans. They don't like pop music in the first place. Arguing with them is a complete waste of time.
>>64505650
Even a Grimes noise album is 2cute4uggos.
>>64505600
>music is art
Literally the most pleb thing I've heard all day.
>>64505713
Because you're 100% pleb: https://www.google.com/?q=what+is+music
You have Google, there's no excuse to be this dumb.
She is bad
>>64505930
She is shit
>>64505930
Why?
>>64505949
This
>>64505962
Why is she good? Without using the word catchy, pop, or synonyms for those two words.
>>64505986
because she a cute faery princess xdd why do u hate fun!!
nah but forreal though, she's horribly average and only gets by on her fucked up image
Art Angels is a fun, well produced pop album
If you're not one of those faggots who only enjoy "innovative" music, you're gonna like her
>>64505986
Because her music is innovative, it combines various styles in an exciting mix. No one else but Grimes could make this music. Her voice may be an aquired taste, but the instrumentals are superb. I'd be surprised if you couldn't hear those lovely melodies.
Remember Grimes' recent Coachella performance?
Yeah.
>>64506253
I'd be surprised if someone couldn't remember those lovely melodies
>>64506253
it was a prank bro.
>>64506253
>Last time I played Coachella I had no in-ear [monitor mix] at all. I had to do the whole set completely deaf and just hope it was OK.

Shit was so legendary 4AD had it took down from Vimeo and all torrent sites, kek.
>>64506502
dude she's not going to fuck you
>>64506502
and it was the evil white male who hid her monitors and tried to sabotage her performance!
now, about all those other shitty live performances..
>>64506145
>Because her music is innovative
Stop reading right there
>>64504124
as someone who hasn't even heard a single song of hers, no, she isn't
>>64505559
>catchy is a positive trait
>>64506668
Of course it is. One of the reasons why people are listening to music. Or do you listen to bad music, without any decent melody?
>>64506145
>Because her music is innovative, it combines various styles in an exciting mix.
Explain the styles she mixes that makes it innovative.
>>64505446
>poptimism
>grimes
>>64506729
>Or do you listen to bad music, without any decent melody?
I listen to people who have a good understanding of melody, but no I don't care about "catchy" music.
It's just one retard we're all arguing with here. Together we can put an end to this by not replying.

>I listen to people who have a good understanding of melody, but no I don't care about "catchy" music.
A good understanding of melody means making catchy, memorable, interesting melody. A melody that you could remember, not some forgettable noise. Grimes has a very good understanding of melody, as you can hear there: http://picosong.com/N7QW
