>it's annoying i know haha, but my albums take a long time to create because i don't buy songs/ hire producers/ writers or engineers. the majority of artists do, so they are able to release music faster. unfortunately it takes me longer because if there's a style i need to learn i just have to figure it out by trial and error, or if im stuck on a lyric or beat sometimes i have to start again. i think it leads to more original product though, and hopefully the fans are happier in the long run. that said, i am making a lot of music right now, but i also want to have more of a sonic theme to this album so i'm using less of the stuff i'm recording. in any case, ill try to be as swift as possible!"
Makes sense. No complaints here (wasn't expecting one this year anyway for these same reasons.)
Levi Russell
I can wait for great.
Andrew Gutierrez
what's the appeal of grime ? I have art angel but it doesn't do anything for me.
David Stewart
Do you even like pop music? AA is catchy as fuck, what's not to like about it? At least try her previous albums (Visions, Halfaxa, Geidi Primes); they're less pop than AA.
Jeremiah Sanchez
I don't like pop but I don't hate it either. A song in specific please ?
Jace Lopez
First, what kind of music do you listen to?
Austin Diaz
Oblivion
Alexander Turner
Rock ? That's a bit generic but it's better than i "listen to everything".
Dominic Walker
realiti is my fav grimes song right now
Henry Ramirez
Art Angels is her "rock album", so you're kinda out of luck. If you like dreampop, IDM and synthpop maybe you will like her older music. Below it's a random selection of her songs:
I'm listening right now, maybe it's just not for me. Thanks anyway.
Thomas Scott
Before you will give up at least listen to Visions. That was the album that put her on the music map.
Oliver Ortiz
Could be. These are the genres her music most closely associates with (as of right now, anyway.) It actually might be worth checking out Geidi Primes. It isn't really rock by any normal sense of the term, but imo it has a sort of old-school indie rock feel to it.
retarded you start with either "art angels" or "vision" first
Zachary Perry
bump
Jayden Sullivan
On the contrary, I'm sure there are plenty of people who aren't retarded who started out by listening to Art Angels or VisionS first - stop projecting.
Blake James
Visions and Art Angels are by far her most accessible albums. So, it's not surprising that plenty of people started out by listening to these albums.
Noah Green
there is nothing "art" pop about AA.
Blake Wood
In your opinion, what is 'art pop'?
Hudson Russell
Music is art. Your argument is invalid.
Noah Morales
My eternal sweetheart.
feels good to know that given long enough time our atoms will bond together in the future.
Lucas Hughes
I was just watching this.
Asher Gutierrez
>it's annoying good to know grimes and I see eye to eye on her entire oeuvre
Connor Adams
my albums take a long time to create because i don't buy songs/ hire producers/ writers or engineers. the majority of artists do >mfw yeah dude i hear phil elverum literally has a sweatshop of berklee educated composers who made his last album for him
jesus fucking christ get the fuck over yourself. congrats, you write your own fucking songs, so do literally the overwhelming, overwhelming majority of active artists. yeah, there are a priviledged few at the top who have writers, but actually believing that "the majority of artists" are just fucking buying music is comically misinformed. Its like you saw a billionaire once and assumed everyone was a billionaire, then went into target and tried to shoplift and when someone tried to stop you you went "GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME YOU STUPID BILLIONAIRE, WHO CARRS IF I TAKE YOUR SHIT YOU CAN JUST BUY MORE. IM NOT RICH LIKE YOU OK I ACTUALLY HAVE TO WORK FOR THINGS OK." and the dude is some depressed 40 year old manager who makes 35k a year. yeah, wow grimes, people are expecting you, as a musical artist, to yknow, actually write music. No one is just like, going to write songs for you, WOOOOOWWWW YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO DO YOUR JOB. WOOOOOOWWWW THATS SO NOBLE OF YOU. WOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW
getting self righteous about an imaginary boogeyman is there a more fucking insufferable fucking cunt on the face of the fucking planet holy fucking shit
Logan Hernandez
Apparently her ideas really triggered you. I wonder why? Perhaps envy?
Dude, most professional musicians in this world hire producers and sound engineers (the countless obscure artists aren't professional). A smaller part also hire songwriters and simply buy songs (ever heard of ghostwriters or songwriting camps?).
You posted that Kyuss album. They wrote their songs like any respected rock band, but let's see who produced and engineered the album...
See those people? Grimes did their jobs too regarding her music. And THAT is not a common thing.
Aaron Lewis
They're still shilling this tranny this hard?
Carter Richardson
delet this
Jonathan Moore
because anyone with a macbook pro can be a producer now and make bleep bloops
that album was made at a time when you actually needed to know how to use audio equipment in order to make music
Aaron Walker
>because anyone with a macbook pro can be a producer now and make bleep bloops It doesn't matter. It's not like all current musicians do bleep bloops.
BTW, name 20 other female artists with her skills: singing/performing/playing instruments, producing, songwriting, sound engineering.
Chase Collins
whens the last time she got laid?
Michael Ortiz
user, most musical PERFORMERS even remotely on Grimes' level check out from the bulk of actual music-making activities as much as possible. What she does as an individual in the guise of Grimes is pretty much unprecedented.
Liam White
>because anyone with a macbook pro can be a producer now and make bleep bloops In which case, why do you think Grimes is such an oddity among her peers in terms of doing it all unaided?
Bentley Murphy
Bleep bloops makers are dime a dozen. Actual singer-songwriter-producers-sound engineers (especially females) doing all that stuff and more (directing and editing her videos, making her cover art) is as rare as it gets.
Hunter Gray
>I have mediocre songwriting and production skills, so it takes me a while to figure out how to put notes together
Gavin Hall
take your time, ill be right here
Jose Jackson
Mediocre songwriters/producers take LESS time to complete things because they aren't as nuanced in their work habits.
Liam Lewis
nuance is a buzzword
Carter Phillips
Bollocks. Did you know that she did Visions (her breakthrough album) in just 3 weeks? This time she wants to try new things, hence trial and error, hence more time needed.
Dylan Wilson
>friend brings me along to a Grimes gig >haven't heard much of her stuff but figure it'll be fun anyway >drop acid >Kill V. Maim starts playing
Juan Williams
those are some deep thoughts
Elijah Flores
>i have a limited English vocabulary Lol. Mediocre songwriters/producers take LESS time to complete things because they aren't as detailed in their work habits. Feel better now?
>Did you know that she did Visions (her breakthrough album) in just 3 weeks? She recorded and produced Visions in the span of roughly three weeks after having spent the months previous (while actively touring/performing) intensively conceptualizing and planning out exactly what she was going to do. Visions is a great album. But its weakest traits are in the production realm. If she had had more time to work on that aspect of it it would've been a significantly better album. Great art takes time to make and refine.
Dylan Lopez
fuck grimes
Zachary Campbell
Edgy opinion, mate.
Dylan James
>See those people? Grimes did their jobs too regarding her music Oh wow so she had to do all those intense recording engineer responsibilities like setting up mics and plugging in some cables? maybe some entry level mixing that high schoolers could do?
WOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Joseph Lee
she can do whatever she wants, we are at her mercy. we should be gracious enough to live in the same timeline as her and be able to receive such gifts.
Luis Butler
suicide is always an option, your life is perfect
Jordan Cruz
Her music is good, and there is a lot of good music that she can easily fit in with. I do think it's ridiculous his polarizing she is though. Most of the artists posted here have the same level of skill grimes has, but for some reason people love to chimp out over her.
Lmao I stole Halfaxa call the police
Noah James
see
Ryder Sanchez
whatever
Matthew Turner
she's actually a meme you know. what do you think the content of these threads and her Sup Forums presence come down to being? she's one of the biggest memes on fourchan. though to her credit, i can approve her authenticity as a big meme and a big joke, not even Sup Forums takes her seriously, and why would they? her meme fans have immense delusions of grandeur about her talent, though they still need to draw a contrast with her and mainstream artists which people actually know who the fuck they are, in a completely insecure and defensive fashion. she's just not very good if people need to pretend she's worth anything by voicing deliberate opinions on this asshole of the internet and by deflecting every single fucking criticism that people have their right to having. it's entirely a narcissistic crusade that's more like paddling a sinking ship
Julian Davis
see >Lmao I stole Halfaxa call the police Fyi (see pic related.)
Jason Stewart
who knows
Nathan Smith
i wonder how many impressionable kids killed themselves with drugs because she mindlessly blurted out about her drug abuse to a large audience. probably a few. doh well natural selection right? grimes is cool
Dominic Rogers
Cool that she seems to hint she's producing something now. Curious what direction she'll take with her albums this time. Try to be more AA and get into more audiences or mix it up with a bit of her old stuff?
I like her whole catalogue but I feel like her stronger work is what she started with and it slowly became more accessible. Just my opinion mind you. But i'm hoping she'll experiment more.
Christian Rodriguez
Is she okay???
Robert Taylor
She has denounced this many times and does not discuss this anymore. I was wondering about that and its influence on her music previously, because there does seem to be a bit of a chasm in her music to where she got off that ride.
Similar to many artists I suppose, drugs do something to the mind. Makes them more creative I guess. But it's not worth losing these people over. So fuck it. Better if they're clean when producing their stuff.
Xavier Phillips
the question is why she wants to make music, the whole contextal basis is a huge missing link here and doesn't leave much to the imagination. it might inspire some cool fanfic though, we'll will shall see
Jacob Phillips
tattoos will fix it
Ryder Stewart
She's so unbelievably ugly I've never bothered to listen to her music and never will
Adrian Lopez
lol
John James
Dude,
Nathaniel Bell
>i don't buy songs/ hire producers/ writers or engineers.
I have a hard time believing her, and the fact she keeps saying it makes me doubt her even more.
Adam Perez
how can you even hate grimes?
Wyatt James
its pretty obvious if you listen to her albums
Alexander Anderson
fuck you
Tyler Johnson
You expect a feminist to be telling the truth? lol
Bentley Russell
I wouldn't hate her so much if she'd just have the decency to wear a bag over her head
Jack Williams
marcel? Shitposting on Sup Forums and lying about it again?
Julian Martin
Pretty obvious that she hires producers/writers/engineers? That's what I think
Henry Ortiz
you think you're being ironic but you're not
Christian White
i don't know who that is sorry
Jayden King
What does that even mean? Im not being ironic numbnutz
Of course "she" does, do you really think women can make music? LMao
Gabriel Wilson
ayyyy this thread has now been HIJACKED by shitposters and trolls, good luck the TROLL ARMY is invading Sup Forums
-9gag
Matthew Johnson
you certainly showed us
Blake Ortiz
grimes fucking sucks and you people are only faggots groveling at her nasty ass man feet because you're all pathetic with nothing to show for except some faggoty little obsession with a girl who only attracts autistic 'safe space' faggot kids and other faces of tumblr
why the fuck would anyone like this try-hard pasty ass ugly whore who only looks good at certain angles
Joseph Thompson
...
Nicholas Martin
i think she's beautiful ok
Ayden Rodriguez
yea beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right? well you're a faggot, so, your standards are fucking TRASH
this girl is beyond UGLY
Leo Thompson
i love her
Benjamin Hernandez
have you met her?
Joseph Morris
Your insistence to prove her as you see her in your mind suggests to me that there is something deeper involved here. This isn't a drive-by opinion, this is something from deep inside you. So tell us, user. What is it about her you don't like? What is it that has her so deep under your skin. Did she not accept your gifts? Did she snub you at one of her shows?
Do tell. Because you know, this woman is plastered all over hundreds of magazines, the music industry has fawned over her. She's a sensation. But the only one who seemed to not get the memo is you. And that tells me only one thing. That there's more to your comment than a simple not liking of something. Because as we know, those things are so easily avoided in life. This seems more clinical.
So user, do tell us what she's done to you.
Isaac Hall
[spoiler]Standards? Who in this world would waste their time on such a thing. Each person should be evaluated on an individual basis. That you have such strong opinions again, suggests to me that she's deep inside you. Under your skin somehow. As I said above, it's easy to avoid things we dont' like.
Hate takes effort, and most people don't have the time or inclination to bother. But you, dear user, she's deep inside you I can see. I would love to hear what she's done to you. What screw she's popped loose in your mind.
Do tell.
Gabriel Campbell
no
Justin Brooks
no i dont need to
Jason Kelly
Of course you don't. It's a simple request, however.
Easton Jones
The way you type gives off this pseudo-intellectual vibe and some edgy philosophy thrown in the mix; what kind of special autism are you?
What I said was awfully simple and that is that Grimes has terrible music, and she's uglier than a troll. I don't think there's more to pry out of that than you believe, Dr. Jonestein.
When ya do I hope you're crushed ya dumb little cunt. That post it not for you.
Hunter Hill
Tisk, Tisk. Copy pasta from the other thread? Don't be so lazy. Tell us what you really feel.
Zachary Long
Copy-pasta from what thread? I popped in here for the first time ever just to tell you faggot troll-loving spergs how I feel because that's allowed.
Hudson Jenkins
i hope so too
Nolan Peterson
Well dear friend. You seem to be quite bothered by her. Why don't you tell us what's wrong.
Caleb Morris
That's too edgy for me, user.
Isaac Gonzalez
ok
Connor Nguyen
Why do you type like such a pedantic faggot, user? I bet you when you try to speak to girls you pretend your some high-class gentleman.
Who the fuck asks a question without using the question mark? I'm more bothered by that than your claims about the ugly troll girl bothering me.
Brandon Brooks
...
Leo Baker
I hope Grimes keeps at the pop angle, because she's incredibly good at it.
Adrian Davis
Well good sir, you aren't going to be ruffling any of my feathers. ;) There is nothing you can say to upset me.
Ah yes, pick out my little oversights as well. The missing question mark. Perhaps I forgot my place here. We're on Sup Forums, not menza. I figured banter was the word of the day. But if you want to wax intellectual, do see yourself to the door.
Dylan Nguyen
top kek
Ryan Reed
Yea see you do talk like you're some sort of wise-man, but, your brevity is weak and so is your vocabulary. The only people who attempt to talk like they are some silver-tongue man are those in the bracket of being a loser at everything, or a fat autistic man.
Your the equivalent of fags trying to bring chivalry back.
Back to being on topic ya fucking sperg; your musical idol aka Grimes aka tortoised-face whore with big ogre feet is GARBAGE.
