It's a great album, but I thought Autechre's Elseq was much more impressive.
OPN makes interesting music, but I think he's an over-hyped golden boy. I feel like he came around during a time when critics needed to latch onto an artist and crown him.
Christopher Ortiz
Luxury Problems.
Dominic Richardson
opn is lauded for good reason. he's the best at blending human emotion and electronics together seamlessly.
Jaxson Cooper
Elseq seems quantity over quality tbqh
Alexander Ross

I'm liking this more than GoD
Carson Richardson
Ghettoville IMO.
Exai is better.
Gavin Phillips
It's definitely his forte, but his techniques aren't particularly impressive to me. It's a lot of nostalgia-laden samples, loops and arpeggiation--nothing extraordinary. His ideas are solid tho.
Adrian Ortiz

Xavier Phillips
I've tried getting into autechre but I just can't. it's very skilful but just seems to me like technical wankery
Jayden Green
i think GoD is the most organic-sounding record he's put out so far. i don't think he's a revolutionary or anything, and that's a lot to ask from any artist anyway. but he makes decent records.
like, i don't feel "nostalgic" listening to GoD. i just feel immersed. not mind-blown, but immersed enough.
Gabriel Flores
Fair enough. They always manage to sound like the future to me. Always ahead of the curve. That's incredibly rare for any kind of musician who's been around as long as Autechre has.
Austin Sanchez
>ywn go back to 2015 Sup Forums when this album was hyped as fuck and everyone was having fun listening to it
Logan Hughes
Yeah, GoD is definitely not as heavy on the nostalgia as his previous albums. Immersive is a good way to describe it.
Tyler Morales
I was sort of ambivalent towards OPN, but I saw him play live and it was incredible. I didn't fully get what he was doing until then
Christian Young
try wanting to go back to 2009 when MPP leaked and you still had a few months of carefree high school left to belt out the lyrics to bluish from the manual windows of your 2001 honda civic while skipping class
Jaxon Carter
anyone that doesn't think opn is one of the best going around needs to watch this
Julian Ward
pieceohshit point nevermadeanythinggood
Chase Morris
Now that you mention it, I remember seeing a few YouTube videos of OPN live that made me think of him as more of a complete artist rather than just a musician.

Same for the first half, except I spent my adolescence playing Maplestory and TF2, coulda been worse it was fun

Dude I agree, Exai is so fucking good. When compared to the four hour beast that is elseq Exai's, uhh, conciseness (if that's a word) puts it above
Jacob Green
>he's the best at blending human emotion and electronics together seamlessly
OPN's emotions are the equivalent of a bad 80's soap drama.
Christopher Sanders
it's definitely one of the best OP but I would put product by sophie ahead of it in terms of like "importance"
Levi Fisher
this decade has been incredibly shit for electronic music tbfh
Zachary Garcia
It might just be that desu
does Tim Hecker count?

not that guy but I always thought it was like 2008 or something
Isaac Bell
listen to eccojams more
Robert Hall
I feel like Elseq is much better than Exai. I feel like Exai is so intense with no breaks, it wears you out I personally get fatigued a little over halfway in.
Elseq, however, is split up into five parts and with plenty of nice ambient bits to space everything out, like Eastre and Pendulu Casual. Even though it's twice as long as Exai it feels half as exhausting. As Deep Cuts put it, on Elseq Autechre aren't so concerned with showing off their technical ability as they are just putting you in another place for a while.
Elseq also has elyc6 0nset and Foldfree Casual, two of their best tracks since Sublimit.
Jaxson Hall
This thread has way too many feels in
Jackson Phillips
when do you find time to listen to all 5 elseqs?
and how would you rank them?
Joshua Smith
I mean there's still good stuff out there (every decade has good material) but as far as this decade's influential things go, artists like OPN, Sophie and their derivatives just aren't my thing
Not to mention EDM exploding in America killed and quality in mainstream electronic music whatsoever.
I've felt those feels some 3-4 years ago, I'm nothing but a walking shell now.
Mason Brown
>listens to Oversteps once
youtube.com
Mason Martinez
I’d say elseq 1-5 too. Beast of an album, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything like it.
Asher Anderson
Not aotd but I'd put it up there with GOD. I found out about bb along with opn during the vaporwave days in early 2010s. and as much of a fan of original Vaporwave as I still am, it's been nice to see these artists break away from that scene and pursue new sounds.
Jackson Gomez
Staple of viral marketing for sure.
Cameron Jones
/lit/ pls
Aaron Perry
u got a problame m8? :^)
jk I love u
Jaxon Harris
This was literally Sup Forums in 2012. That and 'Floral Shoppe'
Austin Price
it is
Leo Ward
I take it an Elseq at a time, as I think was intended with the way the released it.
And probably 5>4>2>1>3, not to say 3 is even close to trash, Mesh Cinereal is still amazing and Eastre is great
My favorites from each Elseq are probably Pendulu hv Moda, elyc6 0nset, Mesh Cinereal, Foldree Casual, and Freulaeux
Luke Harris
>electronic
>album
lmao dude
Dylan Reyes
>oh hey Sup Forums showed up on the front page for once, wonder what this could be
>same 2 deep 4 u shit adult swim hipster shit that's been felated on here since time immemorial
Just once Sup Forums do I wish you would be somewhat relatable.
Nicholas Hall
how would you put it?
James Hernandez
whoa.. leave.
this album is not "deep"
Jacob King
I honestly think this would be AOTD. R+7 and GOD are definitely awesome but, personally speaking for me it's this
Jacob Nelson
if going that route, it's this
Liam Sullivan
twist ending
Julian Martinez
seconded
Grayson Morris
This actually. My favorite vaporwave artists are the ones who don't make vaporwave
Owen Hernandez
At least there's some semblance of discussion going on. That should make you happy no matter what you think of this music
Juan Baker
Agreed. Truly a fascinating little morsel of 2010's culture vaporwave has been. OPN's Ecco Jams were phenomenal as an experiment in sound but as soon as the sound became an established style 'vaporwave' became a wasteland of uncreative blasé garbage.
Blank Banshee intelligently only ever teetered on the edge of that style (if at all) without a doubt, an easy way to gain an audience on his part. but nonetheless I enjoy both artists.
Nathaniel Cook
it was over in 2010 senpai
Julian Jackson
Not really the type of style when i say "electronic"
Jason Stewart
the true patrish choice
Benjamin Thompson
This is the best Aphex Twin album honestly. It reaches a consistency, maturity and level of sound design he never even got close to before Syro. A good mix of his melodic, rhythmic and sound engineering chops
Landon Morgan
Embarrassing thread as always
Jordan Martin
This album was like a mostly forgettable flavor of the week. Your opinion is incorrect.
Levi Bailey
Feels like most of the tracks couldve evolved more. Really cool ideas tho.
Kevin Ward
>First track is a 25 second intro track of inaudible speaking
>Second track is a 35 second loop of someone else's song
>aotd
Sorry senpai. Less filler more killer
Ryder Green
user...
Hunter Rivera
Yeah for some reason all the filler toward the front of the album stood out to me and is the reason I never listen to this anymore. Unlike R+7 which I come back to time and time again, I enjoyed GOD when it was released but have more or less forgotten about it.
Samuel Brooks
>Not to mention EDM exploding in America killed and quality in mainstream electronic music whatsoever.
quality electronic music has never ever been mainstream, except maybe during the 90s when stuff like aphex twin and prodigy were playing on mtv, and even then they were only played in the middle of the night
don't even say the 80s, the 80s were shit for music in general
Nicholas Nelson
Andy Stott is complete pleb. Aphex Twin fell off my radar long ago. OPN has worn on me, but no doubt has some gems. Arca doesn't do good albums, but for me he's the most refreshing artist of the decade.
Autechre's Oversteps was still probably EAOTD for me.
Austin Nguyen
10/10 Electronic Avant Ambient Pop masterpiece.
It’s funny that she also used to date Daniel too.
Benjamin Morgan
>one of the most influential dance albums of the 2010s is flavour of the month because it didn't receive praise form Fantano and P4K, and because it wasn't memable enough
Joshua Martin
nigga I listen to exclusively electronic music and I have no idea what that shit is
Cameron Lee
Jesus Christ this thread is sub pleb tier
Carter Edwards
that album is responsible for pc music and arca you culturless pleb
Brandon Nguyen
No, it's just mostly forgettable. I'm not so sure it was particularly influential either. Care to name some artists who were specifically influenced by it?
Levi Ward
>I love electronic music - Aphex Twin, OPN, Grimes the list goes on...
Is this you?
Owen Rivera
I kinda like Movement better, but I know I'm wrong.
Camden Murphy
This album never gets any love. Shameful.
Samuel Ross
The sounds on this are a solid decade ahead of its time
Oliver Wright
PC Music, Night Slugs, FKA Twigs, Jamie xx and every contemporary British producer
Carter Harris
You guys are wasting time arguing over taste.
