I've been on mu for a long time. And I've concluded that there are some people who just want to say bad things about grimes and death grips, and that is just what they are out to do. I'm glad you guys found such a good outlet but I almost wish there was a special board for grimes/grips, the way /v/ had to spin off /vp/ to make it possible for other anons to talk about other stuff

you say that but look through the catalog. people make this thread 30 or 40 times a day and people will actually start arguing which will bump the thread for hours.

As a non-musician myself, I don't quit understand exactly what you mean by "mediocre musician." Like, she's unskilled at writing music or playing instruments, or something? Because to me, her music is good and interesting, and I like it. So if she makes good music, it doesn't really follow for me that she's only a mediocre musician.

Technically better, but so lame, boring and cheesy. The voice isn't about perfection, but about character and emotion. See acclaimed artists such as Bob Dylan, Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, etc.

>>70346851
Are you taking the piss? She sings much better than say Bob Dylan. e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGLvUejoRb4

yeah and nickelback has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide

>>70346962
Bon Jovi wrote some good songs, like it or not.

>>70346011
Yes, please, I've listened to all of them, and I haven't found anything as good as Oblivion.

>>70346981
Nickelback are actually skilled. They don't have artistic value but they could actually play their instruments and sing decently. Unlike the millions of Soundcould musicians that don't have even the basic skills.

>>70347016
That's just your taste. Listen to them more and maybe you'll get the appeal of those songs too.

>>70347004

Bowie

I am more talented than him.

It amazes me how grimes got so popular on /mu/. She doesn't make good music nor is she good looking.

Newsom? This is what Newsom said about Grimes:

>Interviewer: What young artists do you feel an affinity with? I heard you're a Kendrick fan.
>Joanna Newsom: I loved the latest Bjork album, I'm excited about the idea of Grimes. I haven't wrapped my head around the record. I find her so compelling and so unlike anybody else and so incredibly talented, skilled, and fun. I love her. I met her in LA a few months ago, she told me something along the lines of, "I grew up listening to your music". I will say, it made me feel really old for about five minutes, then it made me feel really happy. I was like well, I guess I'm old now, but that's okay because this awesome and amazing young musician likes my music and said that it was special to her when she was younger, so that's great.
https://i-d.vice.com/en_au/article/life-after-whimsy-joanna-newsom-is-no-ethereal-creature

>I’m super excited that Grimes is getting so much attention for her amazing production too because she’s super, super talented. And she does everything! She produces completely on her own.
http://www.spin.com/2015/11/joanna-newsom-divers-interview/

>In terms of people today, as I said, I’m a little out of the loop, but I have noticed I’m really excited by the way that Grimes frames herself, and seems utterly disinterested in her own beauty, which is really exciting to me. Sometimes it’s useful for an idea, and then other times it’s not useful for an idea, and she seems unaffected either way. I like her music as well, and I like what she says.

vs.

https://youtu.be/7bUH6KwCLF8?t=5m1s

notwithstanding those bad examples (to prove a vague point), I didn't imply grimes was without any talent, but she's not even close to joanna as an multi-instrumentalist, singer, lyricist (!) or in terms of variance in production based off of albums or individual singles. these points also reflects the thoughts that you can see in individual reviews or from bigger publications, but more importantly ratings from thousands of fans such as rym. but hey if you dislike chamber-folk and a high-pitched voice then i guess i got btfo'd

Dude, why don't you post some good videos? Like this one for instance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ5XUw4qHZo

Or this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSWwVYuqsVM

She's doesn't sing perfectly (she's hit or miss live) but that's not the point of her music. The timbre of her raw voice is so nice that her mistakes are forgiven.
