I'd say it's Visions, also by Grimes. AA is a mere AOTY 2015.

I've heard it compared to Avril Lavigne.

>>72130295
Homogenic came out in 97

>>72130657
Avril is nowhere close to Grimes' level. AA sounds like Grimes and no one else.

>>72130695
So did OK Computer, and that was clearly way more influential (and actually good)

what is

homogenic
or spirit they've gone, spirit they've vanished
or we must become the pitiless censors of ourselves
or dean blunt's the redeemer

come the fuck on

>>72130295
Important in the 2010s so far, yes.
Most important since 95, I mean that's bait

>>72130695
Homogenic is overrated. Only half of the songs from that album are great.

>>72130744
>homogenic
Overrated
>or spirit they've gone, spirit they've vanished
Boring
>or we must become the pitiless censors of ourselves
Great album, but AA is better
>or dean blunt's the redeemer
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

>>72130724
OK Computer, pop album? It's alt rock.

>>72130695
Post and Vespertine are better, IMO.

>>72130880
Unpopular opinion: Debut is her best album.

>>72130724
>So did OK Computer, and that was clearly way more influential
So influential that Radiohead completely abandoned rock after it.

>>72130890
I disagree, but I like it more than Homogenic as well. Only reason I didn't include Debut with my post is that it was released before 1995.

>>72130880
>>72130890
I like Medulla as much as Post. Homogenic is the clear best though. Vespertine is overrated on this board

Medulla as well

>>72131626
>a snooze fest all around
Their music is too blurry for my taste. They lack some cool melodies. It's wallpaper music.

>>72131790
Visions is great, i don't know why you guys dont talk about it

>>72131790
>>72131823
AA kinda dethroned Visions as her most popular album, that's all. They're both awesome.

>>72131790
>>72131823
>>72131868
halfaxa >>> visions

visions is painfully overrated

>>72131868
Visions will age better, it's more foward thinking than being current

>>72131895
>painfully overrated
No. Visions is THAT good. I love this album desu.

>>72131903
Not that I'm necessarily a great one too judge (I'm honestly more of a Halfaxa/Darkbloom fan desu) but faulting Art Angels for being too 'current' seems a pretty odd angle to take, given how openly referential AA is to sounds/styles of eras past (e.g. the 90s.)

>>72136228
You do realize she stopped looking at the press and fans opinions many moons ago? As in, she's said this many times in her interviews she does not look at this stuff because when so many artists do they get dissuaded from continuing and then just fuck off into the ether.

I am most def. not a shill. I mean if I can get some coin from this praise i'm throwing her way, please point out where I can sign up.

Point of the matter is people like yourself just don't have anything better to do than piss away your time fighting in these threads, making asinine arguments when the fans are really interested in discussing her music.

>>72134196
>just electropop
False. Songs like Scream or Life in the Vivid Dream are anything but electropop. Just because it has synths and it's catchy af it doesn't mean it's 100% electropop. Also art pop is a very vague term that means nothing (maybe just a hipster term that it's ok to listen to certain pop music with some noodling -- how fake is that?). Art pop is still pop.

>>72134482
That album is terrible, no thanks. Keep it to yourself.

(You)r opinion is not relevant.

>>72136005
>homogenic or person pitch
These 2 albums are highly overrated. They have many dull moments and some barely there songs, not enough to be called masterpieces. The best album in a category should be engaging from start to end, and Art Angels achieved that.

>>72137764
i can't

>>72136160
You can't say that and post that shitty Sophie album, ffs. You shot yourself in the foot. The whole PC music scene is a cheap gimmick with no future. It's already derivative of older synthpop and J-pop/K-pop and it has no artistic value.

>but her music is OBJECTIVELY not important.
Prove it.

>what artists or artistic movements has her music inspired?
Hold on, dude: it's too soon for that. Her career has barely 7 years. Influences and stuff could be measured after a longer period of time.

>it's not like she invented electropop with ethereal vocals and lots of reverb.
She didn't invent that. She invented electropop with ethereal vocals and lots of reverb AND influences from IDM, medieval/classical music, industrial, J-pop, alt rock, dreampop, etc. She took familiar elements and turned them into something original. There's no one like her. Prove me wrong.

James is filming it, Hana is with them, it starts out they're eating french fries and commenting how expensive everything is, at one point they check into the hotel and that's where the gif comes from. Maybe someone's seen it and can help but I'm coming up empty, sorry.

>>72139695
ACID Rain chronicles is just a collection of music videos.

Maybe it's from one of those old tour diaries.

>>72139782

>what artists or artistic movements has her music inspired?
Artists:
- The Avalanches
- Paul Thomas Anderson
- Skinny Puppy
- Richie Hawtin
- Alcest
- Soko
- Bloodpop
- MO
- Sia
- Owen Pallet
- Nigel Goodrich
- Jack Antonoff
- Lorde
- Majical Cloudz
- Fran Lobo
- Elton John
- Camp Howard
- Shirley Manson

And no - just because you don't happen to like any of these artists doesn't mean they don't exist.

As for movements: Why do you think it is virtually every major mainstream solo artist is suddenly at least partially self-producing their own records?

>>72142411
Probably for practicality purposes. The music business isn't as profitable as it used to be. Having artists who know how to produce their own work helps cut costs.

>>72142411
>- The Avalanches
>- Elton John
>- Richie Hawtin
>- Skinny Puppy

anon are you fucking kidding me? these artists are all older than her, and they've all had more profound impacts on music since before she even started making music.

i can't believe you're trying to say the inventor and pioneer of minimal techno owes inspiration to a synthpop artist who started making music two decades after his prime.

>elton john
this is even more ridiculous than richie hawtin. when was the last time elton john made culturally and artistically relevant music anon? before this chick was even born.

>As for movements: Why do you think it is virtually every major mainstream solo artist is suddenly at least partially self-producing their own records?

are you seriously trying to say that she invented the DIY ethos that defined the punk movement from the early 70s onward? after punk, then it was 90's indie rock. people have been glamorizing independence from the industry for decades

are grimesfags really this delusional? or are they just ignorant?

>>72142592
Not at all this delusional anon. I think that's his/her perspective. I'd tend to agree with what you said there. She's only been active say 7 years and no she did not invent the DIY thing.

I think what she's recognized for however is that she does a lot of (in most cases all) the work herself. Such as singing, mixing, editing, etc her music, music videos, artwork etc. Again, that's my limited exposure to her work and what i've read in the various articles i've perused.

Re: all the Bjork mentions in this thread - I know she gets labeled as "art pop," but I really don't consider her to be pop. I'll admit I'm no Bjorne expert, but it doesn't seem like her work is actively trying to be poppy and poptimist appreciative the way Grimes' is. Am I wrong?

>>72136228

>Probably for practicality purposes.
There's nothing practical about established mainstream solo artists with successful track records having others produce their own music (e.g. Lady Gaga or Lorde) suddenly producing their own songs despite no prior experience.
Good production takes studied practice (as in years.)

These people are now feeling compelled to produce works set for major release personally, despite not having the years of experience necessary to really do that. Why do you think that is so?

>>72142592
They're also all still actively engaged in making new music - which is where her future influence comes into play.

>>72142592
>people have been glamorizing independence from the industry for decades
Not the Industry's own music makers. This is an entirely new phenomenon.

Grimes is so damn likeable.

Yeah but even her unflattering pics are pretty in some ways. The people who are jumping on that bandwagon are just looking for shit to nitpick. As if they had a girlfriend she'd be perfect; damn they're going to have a hard time living with a woman if they really think that.

Women have a lot of disgusting shit that happens and they don't usually look all dolled up and if they're comfortable enough around you or you live with them, you'll get a few glimpses of just how unglamorous they can be. But that's okay, because us gents are supposed to accept that. Nobody is perfect.

>>72143565
There are plenty. Do they do everything she does? No. But i'm sure if you look, there are plenty of electronic or electro-pop artists out there.

Thing is though, she went ahead and experimented with a fuckload of genres so its' really difficult to recommend someone to you because depending on the album she went in a different direction. There was a comparison graphic floating around these forums and i'd use that to look for more of the same. But again, every album was different.

This. Most of these unflattering pics are due her alien haircuts. In a way, she's from another planet... She's one of the most fascinating artists in the world.

>>72143593
So, you deserve just a 0.5 for your shitposting. Good.

>>72143637
Except JayZ, Lana Del Ray, Janelle Monae, and many other acts she's collaborated with. Maybe if you choose to not pay attention, that's cool. But you'll find you're following a very different view than reality.

>>72143645
Meh, I wouldn't kick her out of bed. LOL. She's cute and endearing in her own way. Looks identical haircut to that one girl in Die Antword, Yolandi.

She's not the first to pull off that hairdo.

>>72143565
Bjork, Kate Bush, David Bowie, Mozart, Death Grips

Not that anon, but she's similar to Bjork because they're both highly respected synth based singer/songwriter/producers in charge of their careers. Musically, they're only slightly similar (e.g. Art Angels is the equivalent of Post).

>>72143724
Imo the eclecticism in that list of yours says a lot desu.

Her unflattering pics are mostly intentional:

>SM: How important is your image?

>G: If you’re performing, the way you dress, even if it’s just a shirt and pants, is a statement in itself whether you like it or not. I see fashion as a positive thing. I see it as a way to enhance the project, or as a whole other aspect that I can play with and use to my advantage. Though I make sure that I look like trash about 20% of the time so no one’s ever saying, “That’s what she looks like without makeup.” It’s like, “Everyone knows.”

http://www.teenvogue.com/story/grimes-interview-teen-vogue-april-2016

>>72143904

Either you're really young or you're delusional. I can't tell which. It doesn't matter what you think, because you're not with her. Plus I don't think you realize SHE'S the one who gets to choose who she's with. You can't make her love you. Seems like you want to own her rather than be WITH her.

Of course, you'll learn all that when you grow up a little more. If it is that your'e just young an inexperienced. I suggest you go through a few relationships to get an idea.

Have you been with many women previously? Longest relationship?

False. Most influential artists weren't influential right away. It takes time until their influence spreads in the world.

Yes. A lot of Bjork songs are poppy as fuck. Want examples? What about Hyperballad, Army of Me, I Miss You, Bachelorette, Big Time Sensuality, Venus as a Boy, Joga, Alarm Call, Isobel, Human Behaviour, Violently Happy? These were songs that charted high and sold millions (unlike Grimes). Bjork has some more experimental albums, but the same thing could be said about Grimes (Geidi Primes & Halfaxa).

>>72144248
Exactly. These folks acting like some well established old artists wouldn't dare to be inspired by a newish artist like Grimes are frankly ridiculous and delusional.

>>72144303
Well I would say it's harder for an established artist (say Elton John) to take influence from someone like Grimes (as was mentioned above) because he's established. His sound is his own. Grimes has her own sound.

What I mean is that the body of music is splintered into millions of pieces and each artist chooses which pieces of that body of music they will absorb and use in their own work.

But generally I also mean that newer artists tend to be impacted by older artists, rather than the reverse. But that's not to say it's impossible. It does happen in reverse.

They shill the fuck out of /mu/ as compared to other boards, because the cost of production for music is accessible to the average person. (as opposed to film/TV etc.)


And, yes, Grimes is a tranny psyop.

>>72144439
I'm not sure if you're trolling or are seriously hellbent on being with her. Because let me tell you, it's not likely man. You're more likely to win the lottery than to end up with this woman.

There is a line of men (and women) who want to be with her. So what makes you so special? What are you offering her? Why would she pick you over who she's with now? I mean come on man. Get off it.

Do you mind me asking how old you are? You don't have to say exactly but an age range would be cool. You sound very young. This is puppy love, a crush, infatuation that you've got.

>>72144352
>Well I would say it's harder for an established artist (say Elton John) to take influence from someone like Grimes (as was mentioned above) because he's established. His sound is his own. Grimes has her own sound.
That influence could be subtle. It's not like Elton John will suddenly start making Grimes-style music. Maybe his new music will have some dreampop/synthpop elements, maybe it will be self-produced, maybe it will be more experimental, maybe it will feature a high pitched female vocalist, maybe it will have some groovy beats, whatever. The things is that Elton John really likes Grimes and that could affect his creative process. That's influence.

>>72144215
>A lot of Bjork songs are poppy as fuck.
Ergo not themselves pop. Bjork makes Bjork music that sounds like pop. Grimes makes pop music that sounds like Grimes music. They have completely opposite approaches to making music. Hence why I've never understood the logic behind limping them together.

>>72144863
Uh well what the shit are we supposed to talk about on Mu anyway?! Cats? What people like is subjective, certain artists coming up over and over is because that's what they're hearing. That's what they like. If you don't like them, that's your business but that doesn't mean they're being shilled.

I'm not saying they're NOT being shilled either, but that unless you've got some sort of evidence I think you're mistaken.

Again, anons this board is prob like 75% shill content.

There is no reasonable way that threads like this are comprised of actual anons.

Is Grimes the most popular artist in the world? Does his representation here coincide w/ your experiences IRL?

Be VERY wary of anything attached to any corporate interests at all. I'm talking p4k, I'm talking music festivals, all of it.

They're not fucking around with trying to reign in the music industry, and completely collapse any entity not under corporate control.

It's not a joke.

>>72144992
I'm not going to come out and say your'e wrong. But look at the bottom right. Look how many people are posting. I could understand it was just ONE person posting but really?

And yeah man, she's super popular now. Not sure about festivals and shit but that's seemingly what she plays. I looked into it and itw as wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy the fuck too expensive so I was like f'that.

It would have been cool to see her smaller shows back in the day. That's what i'd probably have gone to see. But these bigger shows are out to lunch. See, no shilling. Just my 2 cents.

>>72144992
She's fairly popular on this board, stop being such an autist. Shilling would be if one user would post her daily and nobody heard about her. That is not the case here. Learn the fucking difference between shilling and fanposting. So: filter/hide these threads and get the fuck out of here.

I know it sucks to hear that but man it seems you're real deep in this. I'd think she'd want you to find someone for yourself other than her, who again, is with someone.

Just remember, Love must be reciprocated to be real. One sided love is not love, it's infatuation.

I mean personalities have to jive in relationships you know? How do you KNOW you love her. Because you saw a bunch of interviews where she was putting on her best?

Come on man. She's flawed like all of us. Plus, again, you fail to realize that if she ain't into you then there's nothing to be said of loving her. It just wouldn't matter.

Also, what you're comparing is an idealized version of her you've constructed in your head. That's not real. Again, because you don't know her. You gotta look past the glam and look at the flaws too.

She has central heterochromia (eyes with irises of one color in the center and a completely different color - the person's true eye color - around the periphery.) It's a pretty common trait in cats and dogs. Less common in humans.

Whereas, there is only ONE of her. One of a kind. She's with someone, so again, no sense pining for her. I kinda feel sorry for that one dude who seems to be deep into his interest in her. Happens to a lot of people I notice.

You'll never understand because you have no idea how I feel about Claire.

>What if she was a total asshole in real life?
She is clearly the nicest person.

>She's flawed like all of us.
She is not. Even if she was then her imperfections make her even more perfect.
