Artists that get progressively worse with each release

artists that get progressively worse with each release

Apokalypsis is the only one that breaks the trend. I thought that and the acoustic album were definitely better than the grime and the glow, but it's been pretty consistently downhill since.

...

really? i thought she got better with every release.

Sure, if you like the production quality to radically drop off. Have the same drum sounds used as every other fucking Sargeant House record since 2012, sacrifice song writing for added distortion and loudness, and find a new gimmick for each album because the songs don't stand alone on their own.

ill give you the obvious sacrificing of song writing for atmosphere but the gimmick point is silly. curious about why you feel that way desu.

After the acoustic album, I feel like every interview/press release with her pushed whatever narrative was the sticking point of her most recent album. Pain is Beauty pushed the whole depression thing when that was huge in 2013. Abyss pushed the sleep paralysis thing. Hiss Spun pushed the whole mental illness thing. It's kind of old. Each of those albums had some really good songs on them, but a lot of songs that really did nothing but fill out the narrative as well. There is also a corresponding musical trope to match the narrative. Pain is Beauty had synthesizers and electronic influence, Abyss was industrial, Hiss Spun was needlessly heavy with half baked black metal parts thrown into random songs. It really sucks because I REALLY liked her older material and thought her genre spinning of doom/drone and folk was really interesting and had a lot of potential. Instead she just became the indie equivalent of Evanesence.

while i cant say i agree or disgree, because ive never kept up with her press release runs, props for approaching the question from a completely different angle than i assumed you would.

...

I actually enjoyed Hiss Spun.
I didn't like the sexual aspect of 16 Psyche, I'm not a fan of sexuality in music.
The album doesn't leave as much of an impression on me as Apokalypsis or Pain Is Beauty did.

imagine being so insufferably contrarian you pretend to know production just to find a reason not to like an artist that is actually at the top of their game

Sorry, I like it to sound like the instruments have room to breathe, not that they're all pushed to the front of the mix and ultra loud. Also Sargeant House has used the exact same drum sounds on pretty much every album since 2012.

also: artists who make my dick get progressively harder every time i see their picture

Literally all artists over 30.

Ive tried two or three times to listen to most of her albums all the way through but just cant, I like a few songs off of Apokalypsis and Pain is beauty and abyss but for some reason i cant seem to appreciate the albums as a whole. Anyone else?

Literally mall goth garbage
