Ariel Pink ruined music for me. I literally cant listen to anyone else because it all sounds like shit. Name a better pop album (or any album actually) you literally cant. And yes his early work is even better than the perfection on Before Today and Pom Pom for anyone who hasnt checked that stuff out yet.

Hi Julian

art angels is at least as good as pom pom
/thread

but actually not this one

Best of mu

honestly they both suck but grimes sucks more

best pop album of the decade

most overrated pop album of the decade

you suck the most
art angels is not overrated; it's actually that great. you can't find another album as catchy, innovative, eclectic, fun yet deep (check the lyrics) as art angels. prove me wrong.

Swans ruined music for me.
I literally cant listen to any songs under 20 minutes in length because its too simple. Name a better wankery rock album, you literally cant. And yes their early work is even better than the perfection on the seer and glowing man for anyone who hasnt checked them out yet.

I liked the new MGMT better than Ariel's stuff because it sounds more electronic.

Honestly you have this so damn backwards – Art Angels is one of the best of the decade, and much of Ariel Pink's work is overrated as sin. This might potentially be his best album (probably is Top 3 w/ Lover Boy & Worn Copy for me. DTBJ is arguably up there as well) but EVERY release of his has a handful of great songs, some meh ones, and some absolutely terrible ones. Every single release has been that way.

Ariel Pink's music is really no different than pic related

he was releasing that type of music in the fucking 2000's bitch

If he was born in 1998, you would easily ignore his music as a Mac DeMarco clone.

you havent listened to ariel pink if you think that.

Literally the same

Meme albums

>Name a better pop album
Pet Sounds.

MGMT new album is pretty good, you'd probably like it

the difference is Ariel is just genuine and more creative. Mac isnt innovating pop music in any way beyond aesthetically (even then its kinda hacky), but musically its just an attempt at "cool". Ariel's musical vision is sincere and unafraid of being alienating or too weird which is why an entirely new genre was named to classify his records.

both are highly influential but the difference is ariel inspired people to stretch their perception of pop music and mac inspired boy pablo.

>Ariel Pink ruins music

The album is pretty good but nowhere near as great as Ariel's stuff. Pic related, on the other hand...

Based

The last sentence is fucking brutal lmao

Youre being sent to a desert island and you can only bring the collective discography of R. Stevie Moore or Ariel Pink which one you bringin

Butthole Surfers if you're stuck on ap

this

Every album has like 1-2 good songs and a bunch of meandering garbage, and he's way too into/convinced of his own "biting sense of humor" for his lyrics to actually land. You can literally hear his smug insecurity on each record.

You just described every pop record

gus dapperton unicronically

stop

Ariel Pink is playing an incredibly unconvincing character that he is too insecure to sell, and the only people who can't this are teenage edgelords t b h.

not really at all, though

if you think lyrics are Ariel's worst fault id say try The Doldrums. its more focused on creating a coherent hazy atmosphere and as a result you cant even make out the lyrics through most of the record (not that you wouldn't want to though I think they're some of the best he's written).

Debut has a lot of solid tracks

I dont understand this. Could you make a direct comment on his music and not vague implications to his "character"?

Sorry. I'm not a limp wristed faggot so I won't be listening to Ariel Pink.

fair enough

this is swans for people who like fun

Sooooo, does he have any other songs that sounds like Feels Like Heaven and Another Weekend?

HIs music is built around his contrarian character. It is impossible to separate the two.

Whats wrong with contrarianism? Since I have no idea what this character he is supposedly playing is im assuming that because he takes influence from obscure records and dresses like kurt cobain im supposed to auto dismiss him as an insecure hack which if you realized the irony in that we wouldnt be having this argument.

go away newfag DTBJ sucked

>DTBJ sucked
stop.

No, it was a ok album. His live perfomance at KEXP however was fucking disgustingly bad

youre right it didnt suck but it leaves me feeling underwhelmed whenever i give it a spin. I go back for certain moments like Kitchen Witch (heard Charles is releasing an album this year gonna be great) and the rerecording of I Wanna Be Young are both great but there are some shitty moments that ruin great songs like the tinsel town tranny part of the title track. great lyric but the melody fucks the song up and moments like that are too prevalent for me to say its one of his better albums.

also had terrible songs with zero redeeming qualities (bubblegum dreams, revenge of the iceman, time to meet your god)
