I loved DSU but slept on Alex G since then. His last record bored

I've only listened to race before and damn Alex has improved a lot.

New Will Toledo when

>>72875399
lol fuck Will.
Alex G was superior from day one.

listening to this feels like uncovering footage a sing along with a young Elliott Smith. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFzWojaY_rc&t=839s

Alex is immensely talented and just enough of an oddball to do his own thing without anybody questioning it. I don't think Rocket will propel him into the limelight or anything, but for anyone who'sa fan of his style, this is a clear evolution and just a great fucking record.

>>72875347
never heard of this guy before mu started talking about this album. but i downloaded it last night because i loved the single. i thought the whole thing was pretty good until brick came on. i had to check my itunes to make sure it hadn't changed to a different artist.

who the hell does this guy think he is? that was some of the most tasteless, immature garbage i've ever heard. sportstar is almost just as bad.

it's like he's so cocky he thinks he can pull off going from mellow indie and country to deathgrips-style noise rap and then braindead drake-ish dancehall

he's obviously a talented songwriter but holy shit this asshole needs to stay in his lane.

>>72875347
>Not a bad track

I'd agree with you if Sportstar didn't exist.

>>72875481
Idk, now he's gotten BNM I think he'll see a nice boost in his popularity. Not mainstream or anything but I think he's going to become a bigger name in the scene than he has been. Makes me kinda sad because he felt like a kind of secret that only I and some other fans knew about but also happy because he deserves the success.

>>72875654
I honestly really liked Sportstar.

>>72875601
If he didn't do this, I would not have maintained that smile on my face. I probably would have gotten bored and turned it off. If you had listened to his music previously, you'd know he's tapped into all of these genres before, but never fully committing to one on each track as he does here. It is a little jarring when there are alt-country tracks to start off the record and then that barrage, but he's always inserted some dissonance or confounding elements to his music.
I think he just doesn't want to be typecast as a slacker rocker when he's already been collaborating with guys like Frank Ocean. His abilities really do go a lot farther than that.

>brick is death grips style noise rap and not just drawn from his emotive hardcore influences

God /mu/ is dumb

>>72875347
dsu is his worst record tho.

BLASPHEMY

>>72875933
Wow objectively wrong

>>72875654

I feel the same way. super stoked about him getting more recognition but im just dreading having conversations about him with P4K dickriders at shows that i already know are gonna pretend like Rocket is his "masterwork" or something bcuz it got BNM

Pitchfork rated Rocket higher than DSU tho anon

>>72876296
Did I hit a nerve there buddy?

>>72876280
t. Contrarian

Trick>DSU>Race>Rocket>Rules

And Rules is still the shit

such a good discography

>>72876624
Ey what about Beach Music? D:

>>72876693
oh shit oops lol i actually love beach music

Probably be between DSU and Race but that still doesnt seem right..

Its hard to rank his stuff for me because every album is so fucking solid IMO

>>72876693
Agreed man, loved that album as well. I still need to listen to half of his albums

>>72876765
>>72876857
Trick and Race are really the standouts for me from his older catalog. Both are sooo good. Rules is great too (Mis is one of his best songs imo) but not as consistent as the former two.

>>72875601
the structure of the album is a rocket's path with the most intense song in the middle (the apex)

alex is a genius fuck you

Alex g is my lord and savour of lofi

Agreed. For me:

Race>Trick>Rules>RL Kelly Split>DSU>Easy>Beach Music>Winner

Only listened to Rocket a couple of times, but so far I think it might actually surpass Race. So good.

tru alex g ranking
Trick > Rocket = DSU > Rules > Beach Music = Race

>>72878260

Trick and beach music, r l Kellys split was dope, his unreleased shit is dope, (Nintendo 64)

>>72878110

He better review it

>>72875347
oh SHIT, mfw Brick comes on. very solid album despite the disparate sounds here. DSU will always be a personal 10/10 as it's been a part of so many uncertain times in my life, but this is just further testimony to his ability of crafting unique lo-fi hit after unique lo-fi hit.

>>72878755
I want to be clear the production is a step up and I'm not sure what to make of it, but it's still got the signature Alex G sound despite the upgrade.

its shit

>>72878776
It's all recorded by him too, on garageband

i found it dull af. only liked the death grips esque track

>>72878755
i dont dislike alex g but i dont feel anything about him is unique. hes just handsome enough to market this type of stuff.

>>72878849

I just know Fantano will give it a fucking 4 or something, or dismiss it in a yunoreview. Just you watch.

>>72879182

>>72879527

Sorry man but this is no Alex G.

>>72879716
yeah its better

>>72879716
its not great but better than alex g tbqh. which isnt saying all that much

>>72878962
Me too. He's significantly better looking in person

>>72875347
Disappointing. Loved Bobby and Proud. Expected more like it and got some weak tracks. I've loved everything he's released previous but this feels like a step backwards.

>>72876255
I agree

Alex g's album rocket is like 30% good

I loved everything except the singing
What an awful voice and lyrics
Instrumental tracks were top notch though

>>72875601

that you call it deathgrips style shows that you are a very stupid person.
