Friendly reminder that Grimes will never release a bad album. She will use any means necessary to make it as good as possible.

>it's annoying i know haha, but my albums take a long time to create because i don't buy songs/ hire producers/ writers or engineers. the majority of artists do, so they are able to release music faster. unfortunately it takes me longer because if there's a style i need to learn i just have to figure it out by trial and error, or if im stuck on a lyric or beat sometimes i have to start again. i think it leads to more original product though, and hopefully the fans are happier in the long run. that said, i am making a lot of music right now, but i also want to have more of a sonic theme to this album so i'm using less of the stuff i'm recording. in any case, ill try to be as swift as possible!"

>>
>>73492911
Okay, I know Claire personally. I don't feel comfortable sharing this as she may find out who leaked this without her permission, but I know I'm amongst trustworthy friends here who will protect me and have my back. A few years back, me and Claire, along with a small group of 6 other people did a volunteer event in which we presented a seminar/workshop for foster kids. The purpose of the event was for young adults who were separated from their parents to asks questions and receive advice from our panel about what to do after high school. Those in the panel were staying in the same hotel and thought car pooling would better since it meant less rental cars and pollution, etc. I was in the group that Claire was in. We would take turns throughout the day switching up the driver. I remember Claire was asked to drive and pick us up some food we had ordered. I decided to go with her to help her out. This is where I got to meet the real Claire Boucher. While driving towards a 4 lane intersection I noticed the stoplight coming up had gone from green to yellow. The law states that a yellow light states for caution and that all drives should begin slowly their vehicles down, prepping for stoppage. Claire however did not. She did the exact opposite. She speed right through the yellow. I was flabbergasted. I couldn't believe what I just saw. Immediately I said to Claire, "do you realize what you just did". She simply replied "yeah, we almost got stuck in some nasty traffic". I couldn't believe that Claire had the audacity to say something like that so nonchalantly. I've never seen someone break the law before and show not even the slightest bit of sympathy or remorse. After that day, I never saw Claire the same nor did I want to be near her ever again.

thread:hide
it's that easy
>>
>>73492954
Truth. It's easy to write her off because she's got mass appeal and leans towards pop.

Doesn't change that her lyrics and compositions are complex and reach deep into the collective soul for inspiration. I can't think of any other modern pop artists quoting Shakespeare and expanding on ideas he brought up. I don't know any other modern artists down to write an entire album about their love for Dune or willing to deprive themselves of sleep and food for weeks at a time just to get into the right mindset to write and record something both disturbing and beautiful.

It's easy to hate what you don't know, but hard to be an artist in it for the art.

She didn't do that. Manic fans did that. Mistaking the artist for the following isn't really fair to the artist. Once you make your work and let it out into the world, it's no longer up to you how people experience or enjoy that work.

Ok, so I've listened to a few of this chicks songs on YouTube and I don't understand why she's so popular on here. Someone please explain why?

Her music is extremely mediocre in my opinion. It sounds like some Japanese tribute by a westerner who doesn't really understand anything, but more just likes the "image". Furthermore, the songs were all just "beats" that sounded amateur as fuck, drowned in effects pedals, with some chick half squealing/half singing over the top.
I mean anyone could make this, and many people DO make this. Go on Soundcloud, Bandcamp and you can hear people that do it better. And many of them have been doing it longer! I do not understand.

Is it the image that sells it for you people? Her quirky persona? The unwashed look? What? I simply do not understand.

Also, I could go into more detail if you like, but this is just a relatively quick post to see what exactly am I missing?

i think most of you fucks just like this chick because you want to fuck her, and somewhere in your head it makes sense for you to be a fanboy or w.e

1) she makes pleasant, exciting, unique, dreamy, energetic, catchy, emotional songs
2) she's a one woman band: she does almost everything in her art. how many artists at her level of success do you know that do producing, singing, songwriting, sound engineering, playing multiple instruments, directing and editing music videos, drawing the cover art? i'm not even talking about some extra stuff like dancing, modeling, being a philanthropist.
>>
>>73498387
So, you listened to a few seconds from her major singles and concluded it sucks? Dude, don't be an idiot. Her music is very diverse and it requires some patience. Listen to her whole discography and then we're talking. You just don't check few seconds of her music and pretend it sucks.

>extremely mediocre
Extremely? Mediocre is mediocre. I never heard of extreme mediocrity.

>Furthermore, the songs were all just "beats" that sounded amateur as fuck, drowned in effects pedals, with some chick half squealing/half singing over the top.
Ha ha ha ha! Nice try. Just beats you say? How the fuck did you miss those gorgeous basslines and synth melodies? Are you deaf? Case in point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9XKLqGqwLA

This tune is chock-full of melody. Even her haters admit it's a fine song.

>I mean anyone could make this, and many people DO make this. Go on Soundcloud, Bandcamp and you can hear people that do it better.
Then why nobody talks about these folks if it's that easy? Name even one similar song from Soundcloud or Bandcamp similar to her music. Go ahead.

>Is it the image that sells it for you people? Her quirky persona? The unwashed look? What? I simply do not understand.
You don't understand because you didn't really listen to her music. Or you're a pleb. Her image and quirky persona wouldn't guarantee such acclaim and interest. Read the damn reviews: http://www.metacritic.com/music/art-angels/grimes Do you think these people reviewed her image or her music?

It's OK if you dislike her music but at least put some effort to get into it first.

that all has to do with the way you perceive her as a person, not her actual music.

someone who only listens to music for music's sake learns to separate art from artist. knowledge of her involvement with the music has no bearing on the way that the music sounds.

Are you actually retarded? What kind of answer did you expect then?
>>
>>73498543
yes but those are all buzzword soundbites to make her seem "talented". Are you her PR manager or something?
Her music videos aren't exactly great, they look like school projects
A few of the songs I listened to sounded like spare bits of better songs thrown together and released as a new song

What I'm trying to say is: She had a few songs I could MAYBE nod my head to, but for the most part it was all uninspired squealing over some stretched sample of someone squealing with a shit dance beat and more effects to camouflage the mediocrity of it all
>>

>>73498551

>you listened to a few seconds from her major singles and concluded it sucks?
>Dude, don't be an idiot.
What the fuck do you think people do?
Do you think they give a fuck for researching this chick squeals? She looks to me like an artist having a severe crisis who cannot decide whether to appeal to a wider audience or continue being mediocre for the devoted fans.
I listened to enough to understand that her latest work is more accessible than her previous. And it's still shit, hence my need of an explanation. Am I wrong?

>I never heard of extreme mediocrity.
Then you are fucking moronic as well as tone deaf. Congrats!

>gorgeous basslines and synth melodies?
They sound ripped off, and the song Realiti sounds like every other pop song on the radio from 5 years ago. That being said, that song is one of her most accessible yet I'd say, and it's still mediocre. Thanks for proving my point though fanboy
>tune is chock-full of melody. Even her haters admit it's a fine song.
see above, you are just ignorant to other genres of music. how much edm do you listen to? not very much?

>Then why nobody talks about these folks if it's that easy?
Because they don't have marketing teams promoting their mediocre shit
Are you really asking this shit? Stop being fucking stupid

>You don't understand because you didn't really listen to her music.
I just said to you I listened to enough to know what she was going for.
You're a butthurt fanboy who can't bare someone criticising his obsessions mediocre music

> Her image and quirky persona wouldn't guarantee such acclaim and interest.
It guarantees a fan base of awkward internet virgins who obsess over Japanese culture despite not really understanding it

i'm not the anon who asked that question. my point is that knowledge of her image and her public persona has a large bearing on your opinion of her, and you admitted that yourself in this post >>73498543
>>
>>73498481
>I'm trying to see the hype.
Then listen to her music, dummy. LISTEN TO HER MUSIC, not just to a few snippets here and there. She has 4 albums and an EP: listen to them. After that you'll have the right to complain about her music.
>>
>>73498742
>it was all uninspired squealing over some stretched sample of someone squealing with a shit dance beat
In other words, you are just too pleb to get into her stuff. She makes quality and catchy songs and her production is top notch.
>>
>>73498526
Let's pretend the image sells it to the people. But what keeps the people interested? Hint: it's her music. She's a musician, not an actress. Her looks is secondary to her music.
>>
>>73498606
That's fair enough. I am TRYING to see what the hype is about. So far, not so good.
>>73498624
>Le edgy "we don't care"
Yeah but she probably does care though. All artists to some extent care what people think of their work. Sure, they might be doing it solely for themselves, but it is still a piece of them at the end of the day.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is some fucking retard with the "i don't care if you like this thing i just spent like 5 percent of my life pouring my heart and soul into bro"

>>73498849
Because it's becoming disruptive. She using jedi mind tricks or some shit? It's very persistent. I don't want to turn into one of them waifufags. Her music is fun, but thinking about her all the time is not.

You may be surprised, but not that much. I visit these threads for a long time. Look right now at the stats: 170 posts and barely 36 pics (many of them being memes). That's about an image every 5 posts. There's way more discussion that photo sharing. Fact.

t. Fanboys
Listen to me cunts, I listened to enough of her songs to see what she was/is going for. I don't need to listen to her discography.

I kind of likes some of her songs, they were okay. Fair play to her. She has a niche and a devoted fan base who dig her sound (read: dig her image for their tumbl blog) so, it's whatever.
You guys all love her squealing and quasi-japenese gimmicky imagery, paired with her ""quirky"" personality. I totally get it! Thats your taste

Just please stop making out as if this chick is extremely talented or in any way above mediocre, (with occasionally decent catchy almost pop songs) but at the end of the day: She just isn't that great, man.

Cheers.
I hope she continues to make music anyway though, she's alright on some songs, sometimes, I think. Yeah.

Her music is alright. quasi-Japenese aesthetic. Echo. Delay. We get it. You like synth.

But shes nothing beyond mediocre

I am me, I decide what is good or shit, since it is up to me alone

Where the world comes in my way - and it comes in my way everywhere - I consume it to quiet the hunger of my egoism.

We owe each other nothing, for what I seem to owe you I owe at most to myself. If I show you a cheery air in order to cheer you likewise, then your cheeriness is of consequence to me, and my air serves my wish; to a thousand others, whom I do not aim to cheer, I do not show it.

Yes. You got it wrong: she's split between pop and experimental, between mainstream and underground.

Why do you need an explanation if you already made up your mind? Do you seek validation? Why don't you just go back and listen to something you like, imbecile?

Her more accessible music like the song 'Realiti' sounds like thousands of pop songs. You're just a pleb, don't blame me for pointing it out

what, so any artist who has won awards, has been given interviews and "decent" reviews doesn't suck? Are you mentally handicapped?

No worries, i'm not the guy you're arguing with. But that person is very protective of her and her music. I would say if you've given it a shot that's great, I think she'd appreciate that but ultimately if you don't like it you don't like it. That's fine.

Nobody should feel obligated to like grimes. If you like her, great. If you don't, you don't. I'm not going to argue with anyone who has a varying opinion of her or her music. I'm happy to discuss either way.

okay, so it's just a "retarded meme term", then. gotcha mate
>>
>>73499546
No. (I'm a fan)

>>73499576
I think the ones who are super defensive of her are "in love" with her. Thus blinded to the reality of her audience and the greater music sphere.

I like her a lot but haven't the delusion of being "in love" with her because I know that's not true. She'd have to reciprocate for it to be so. And that's not likely to happen at all so I don't get mixed up in that thinking.

Plus the side benefit is that I can look at objective critiques of her music and not lose my shit. I think it's all good.

>>73499595
Same, all the best to you as well, Anon. Thanks.

>>73499576
so, you're basically asking why her fans (grimesfags is a retarded term just like you) aren't nice to trolls. dream on, kid.

>>73499595
if that calms her nerves, what's the problem?
>>
>>73499685
Calm your tits anon. She isn't here, they can say what they want. It doesn't bother me. Albeit when someone shit posts about her abnortions or whatever tha'ts annoying.

Guess I learned just how much Grimes fans are obsessed with her.
I hope she reads this thread/s (I think she does, to be honest)

I'm out of here. Cheers for the "discussion", if you can call it that. I won't be buying her album or supporting her in any way simply because her fans are just unbearable cunts.
All of you worship her, it's alarming to tell you the truth.
I kind of think she's alright, it's just a shame about the put on quirky bullshit persona (i could look past that), and some of the music is a bit shit at times, but yeah...
Shame, really!

I'd like to apologize for any anons who are trying to relay their displeasure with her work and or want to critique it on its merits. We SHOULD be able to discuss that.

These threads could stand to be less combative. I have tried to explain to the other (protective) anons that being so reactive does not help anyone convert over to grimes or give a shit about her work.

Just know, anons with alternative viewpoints, I am watching and I am hearing what you say and it's okay.

It's okay not to like grimes. I think if you give her a shot you might like her stuff. But that's just me. If you don't like her work, that's cool too. It's not going to be everyones cup of tea. I'm a metal head myself so hey, I try to listen to everything. All music, to me, is fuckin' rad!

Based grimesfriend. Thoughts on her first two albums? They always seem to get thrown by the wayside in favor of Visions and Art Angels (two albums I personally dislike), even though they're both incredible. What's your favorite artist? I wish most grimesfags were like you (a grimesFRIEND)

You cannot call a negative opinion "shitposting" just because you disagree with it. Artist discussion can be negative or positive. You clearly don't have any understanding of the rules so you should really just leave the board and also this world while you're at it.

I don't like visions either lol. Art Angels was a little more out of touch with her older style, you're right. I don't prefer them, but I still enjoy her entire discography though.

Also, thanks. I think the ones who are reactive are in love with her so that blinds them and binds them to play the white knight role. I know she's not in these threads and likely doesn't give a shit what we think good or bad. Not that she's above our opinions, but she's a busy girl.

Being in "love" with an artist is a common thing among any fan base.

>>73499954
Again, Anon. I think they do this on purpose to piss you (and other waifus) off. It's just too easy for them to come in and say some shit and you to go crazy.

The moment you can calm yourself and these things they say no longer effect you (they don't effect claire at all -- she's not in this thread, she's not reading this bullshit. So don't worry about what she thinks).

And agian, Anon. I must remind you, she's a strong girl. She is more than capable of defending herself. Give her some credit. She doesn't need any white knights. I think this behavior sullies everyones opinion of hers (ie. they start to think her entire fan base are lunatics -- so they'll distance themselves from her which is unfair).
>>
>>73499984
Pretty much sums up what I was thinking. Shame.

Again, Anons. I encourage you to share your thoughts on her work, good or bad. Don't feel obligated to post simply praise. I truly believe even if she saw these threads and you didn't like her work that negative comments may in fact encourage her to try harder (she's trying very hard, mind you). We should always tend towards self improvement.

However, i'd politely ask you all to mind your shitposting and keep your comments relevant to her work (good or bad). Stuff regarding false press or pure bullshit designed to elicit raging monkeys should be minimal. Please and thanks.

Not a mod. Not going to ban, just asking politely. Thanks again. Hope you guys enjoy her work.

>>73500238
Hard to say... Soundgarden was my favorite band of all time. I was truly lost for words the day I found out he took his own life. Sucks so bad man. He was such an awesome dude.

I listen to everything, Anon. Slayer, Sepultura, Metallica, Baby Metal, Celine Dion, I don't care... James Brown, Bob Marley, Grimes, Taylor Swift, The Weekn'd, Drake, Outkast, DMC, DMX, Fuck man, i'll even listen to Justin Bieber if it's what's poppin'. But don't forget them classics. Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli... I could go all day.

grimes threads are the most exciting on /mu/.
>>
>>73498591
>not her music
People who like her music overwhelmingly like HER personally because her music is a direct reflection of her as a person (since she constructs it all independently.) Hence why she tends to incite such strong emotional reactions from people.
>>
>>73499770
that's a very reasonable opinion. there were many people here before who said they couldn't understand all the hype about her but they asked nicely and they got decent answers.

it's very important the tone of your message: if it's negative or hateful the results will be quite unpleasant. offer respect if you want respect.
>>
>>73500307
Yeah, RIP.

I'm really (really) into experimental music, so shit like drone and noise really tickle the right musical nerves for me, although I do enjoy "lighter" stuff as well, hence why I like Halfaxa so much (given that it's a great fusion of the two). I've been led to believe that I am the "Avant-pleb" that the more extreme fans bring up. Although I like most of the artists you wrote, (especially Slayer) I don't enjoy a lot of them, although I understand that people have different tastes. Favorite bands are probably Boris, Sleep, Keiji Haino, and Tetsuo, if I had to do a list.
>>
>>73500312
Wouldn't that be some shit, Anon? I think that'd be rad as fuck but I truly, deep down, don't believe it. I think she's busy as fuck and she keeps herself occupied with her work and/or hanging with friends and family.

I don't think she's immune to checking this shit out though, or going online and seeing what people think when she needs to know what people think. But I think if it's negative shit, it effects her ability to do her job so I think she keeps this shit to a minimum.

Think about it, if someone comes out of left field and calls her a cunt maybe she's having a bad day and then she starts to wonder if she IS a cunt? You know? Or rather there could be 100 positive comments, it just takes one to fuck with her mind. So again, I doubt it Anon.

It'd be cool as fuck for her to be in here with us though.
>>
>>73500319
Probably because she tends to have a polarizing effect on people. Some love her, some want to be her, others hate her fans because of all the waifu shit. Not many artists can pull that one off.

But yeah, that's why i'm in these. They're fun, and i'm bored as fuck.

Yeah it's cool to listen to experimental stuff. See where music is morphing. I love it too man. That's part of why I think I became so quickly attached to Grimes. Her stuff was really unlike what I was hearing before. And it wasn't just some sort of screechy bullshit like I tend to hear sometimes. But it had great melody, great bass lines, good hooks. She's wicked sma't it seems.

Yeah but I don't think that's helping anything. Sure as shit ain't helping Grimes. She's just trying to do her thing and get her music out there. If people like it, cool, if not well that's cool too. Pissing off trolls is going to turn them off trying out her music. I mean the shits free online so that's no loss but if her fans are being crazy then it's going to put a bad taste in everyones mouth who's even THINKING of listening to her music (trolls included -- you KNOW they're curious).

You're caring too much about the "poor" trolls. They didn't even want to listen to her music. They had all the chances to try it. There's Youtube, there are streaming services, itunes, free downloads. Nothing stopped them to try her music. If they will keep refusing to try her music nothing of value will be lost.

>Sure as shit ain't helping Grimes.
It doesn't matter. This thread is about her but she's not involved in it.
>>
>>73500652

What's to marvel about? When someone attacks her fans and they defend themselves and her music, it just means they enjoy the music she's made.

It's crude to poke people who want nothing more to post in peace because the troll felt the urge to ruin.
>>
>>73500631
>Pissing off trolls is going to turn them off trying out her music
If they're that thin skinned they need to fuck right the fuck back to whatever shithole they crawled out of. I'm pretty sure she could give a crap about the usual few shitposters who come in here on a regular basis.
>>
>>73500714
I'd rather these threads be about converting trolls to grimesfags than being exclusionary and treating grimes like it's some elite fanclub. I hate that sort of shit because it devolves into 'one true scottsman' type fallacies. Ie. who's the biggest grimesfag of them all.

Remember folks, there are no grimes points, your conduct here cannot be used to influence grimes, or gain favor from her. So your opinions are all valuable, good or bad (to me).

Oh, but they do anon...

Also, who is this "they"? Who are these other artists you are failing to reference in order to complete your point?

But unless you're Grimes herself, it isn't your call to decide that for everyone.

>>73500752
Yeah but here's the thing. They're in here because they're curious. They can shit post all they like, but you know, deep down, they care and they want to like her stuff. That's WHY they're here.

Being a dick doesn't do anything other than lose potentially brand new fans of hers. And i'd rather someone come in here trying to troll and accidentally become a grimes fan so I can see them share their first reactions to falling in love with her music.

I don't think he has to listen to them all. I think, based on what i'm reading, he's very intent on causing a ruckus partly to offend but probably because they didn't find the songs of hers they liked.

the first quote fits the example I gave, he's asking why he should like her
The second one is a random (and funny imo) guess as to why people like her when he has so many problems with her
The third one is just associating the fact that grimes fans love her despite all the thing that he doesn't like, which he even ends with an admission of subjectivity

>could anyone take seriously this fuckwit
think harder before you type, anon
>>
>>73500845

I suppose. I'm not the hothead (this time), but I understand people defending her and her music comes from genuine appreciation of her work and her.

Maybe you're another artist without a fan base like Grimes on /mu/ so you couldn't understand why.

All in all, that troll got what he deserved. He knew her fans are savage and he tried to mess with them. The troll bomb exploded in his face. He wasn't honest with his intentions and he rejected any argument every single time. He didn't want to be a decent discussion partner, he wanted to piss off her fans. Like all trolls before, the fucker threw a tantrum >>73499746 and left in disgrace.

Well again, Anon. I'm going to pin the blame on the ones reacting. They are fueling the fires and feeding the trolls directly. That's 1:1 play for play. Don't feed the trolls, they'll lose interest.

Again, I think it's easier to convert trolls to grimes fans than you all might think.

Just be welcoming. Even if they shit on the carpet. We can clean it later. We wouldn't give a dog trouble for that... let's not give the trolls any hate. You're fighting hate with hate. Not gonna work my friend.

He lost because he admitted defeat and because his dubious trolling blew up in his face. Zero arguments, endless trolling, that's not a recipe for winning.

Well someone has all the pics. But I think wizards of the coast rejected the Grimes The Gathering TCG. Sorry folks, it's just not gonna happen. I know some of you were really looking forward to it, but they said they couldn't do it for "legal reasons" or some bullshit like that.
>>
We're not doing it for goody bags or points.

We get angry because we want to comfy post.

If the dedicated troll is doing it to hear contrasting opinions, then what she's doing is the lolcow method of "farming" tears, and this really isn't the place for that I'm not asking to get harassed for my taste. It's not r9k.

I'll explain why Art Angels is my favorite album from her in my next post.

>>73501054
But his "admission of defeat" was an obvious troll that led to even more (You)s. He came out of this on top. Maybe the trolls will stop if you all stop sperging out so often.

>I'd rather these threads be about converting trolls to grimesfags
There are soe ex-trolls who converted after giving her music a fair chance. That would be great but I don't see that happening often.

It would happen far more frequently if many of the other anons who really like her music (like me) would quit having a full on chimp out every time someone says something not nice about her or her music.

You guys would all be surprised how well honey attracts bees. Sure, you get the occasional hornet. But hornets are cool too.

I'm down for whatever. You guys can try to comb through these threads and waste your time dealing with the trolls but those trolls are bored and thirsty. Give 'em a beer, tell them to kick their boots off and let's have us a fuckin' grimes thread.

How's that sound?

Vintage Grimes power 5 uses Gaia and Garageband. It's super effective.

Modern Grimes counters with Ableton and Looper Pedal thinggy... (no idea what it's called... i've lost this whole thing... dammit).

You're surprising, anon. I didn't see a more tolerant anon here. Cheers. I'd like to see you trying to convert a troll into a fan next time.

I've listened to most of her songs at least once. And Art Angels is my favorite.

Her other albums are heavy on on the sound mixing and noise creation, but emotionally it's lacking compared to Art Angels.

Art Angel is a "pop" sound, and it's pleasant to listen to, but the biggest attraction is her singing and her not holding back so I can really feel her lyrics as she sings.

It's alive and I find it loving. I'm a stranger but I can listen to her songs and it feels pleasant and intimate (but not intimate).

Art Angels is much like a good book, I take the 3rd person position and I get to enjoy a beautiful musical novel that will always be there when I feel like indulging.
>>
>>73498844
>. I am TRYING to see what the hype is about
It's honestly about music desu. Which of her songs/albums have you listened to so far? (Disregard this request if you out already answered down thread - I'm lagging pretty far behind atm.)

>>73501112
>I'll explain why Art Angels is my favorite album from her in my next post.

>>
>>73501183
OK. I'll try to keep my rage.
>>
>>73501250
No worries, will try. It's hard though because trolls only show themselves (in the comments) when someone pipes up and tries to defend her (ie. use white knight). Those are the anons that the trolls seem to target.

I'm not a white knight, will never white knight for her (or anyone else for that matter). But i'll see what I can do. It's funny though because the true, dedicated trolls are somewhat rare. Like finding the last pokemon hahahahah.

I'll ready my poke-ball.
>>
>>73501304
Okay cool. But don't hurt yourself anon. Can I interest you in a chilled beverage? It gets to be difficult trolling during the day in the hot sun. You must be thirsty.

Come sit, stay a while.
>>
>>73501260

And if there's emotion in her other albums, I don't recognize them because they're foreign to me or covered up by the sound distortion.

Art Angels is much more straightforward (like most pop music is) in the emotional message, which is great for me because I'm a pretty simple person emotionally.
>>
>>73501348
Nice. I think that's what she was going for with Art Angels. Something more accessible.

She's said in previous interviews (early interviews) that she really liked "vapid" pop music. So I think she tried to do what she wanted with that love she has for it. It does feel more mainstream in that regard.

I think it's interesting to note, however, that she seemed to get a lot of shit for songs like "Go" when they deviated from her more eclectic and experimental sound. I was always mystified when that happened. Because the fans who lashed out seem to suggest she sticks to only producing one thing, and that's not really what she seems to be about.

She's said her style changes a lot. And you can see this progression album to album. I, personally, prefer her older stuff. But Art Angels is definitely more accessible for the mainstream audience.

I'd recommend her earlier work if you go backwards it gets more experimental (Geidi Primes is the most experimental IMO) only if you have an open mind. It takes less energy to move backwards in the catalogue (which is what I did).
>>
>>73501260
>Her other albums are heavy on on the sound mixing and noise creation, but emotionally it's lacking compared to Art Angels.
I kindly suggest you to give her older album more chances. Visions is incredibly emotional. And not just because of the context of how it was made:

>"Visions was an extremely cathartic album to make. I went through a period a few years back when I was really addicted to drugs. Two of my best friends died, I had this really fucked-up assault experience and I was constantly in and out of terrible relationships. I never really dealt with all that, but I eventually realised that by making songs I could work through these things that had been plaguing me for years."

>As a result, Claire reckons there is a "weird jubilance" to Visions. "It can totally be a party album if you want, which is hilarious to me because it's so tortured. But because it's about sloughing off that pain, there is a kind of joy in the way it takes you from utter depression to utter ecstasy."
>>
>>73501348

Art Angels soothes my loneliness. To a man like me that's worth defending from "trolls" who I suspect is a female and doesn't connect to Art Angels like I do, a male.

So yeah that troll will say I only like it because I wanna bang her and I find it insulting, because that troll doesn't feel what I do.
>>
>>73501282
Classical anon, you're wasting your time with that troll. He already left.
>>
>>73501446

I do enjoy Visions but it does not connect with me emotionally like Art Angels does. I know her other fans feel opposite and disconnected from Art Angels but rave about Visions.

>>73501430

"Go" is a fantastic club song but it's a club song. Which is probably why her fans critiqued it.
>>
In the track "Art Angels", in the chorus she sings about loving Montreal.

I can feel it and "taste" it. Like she's singing of her love for Montreal but I'm the one that gets to enjoy that expression
>>
>>73501473
Even so, Anon, you're feeding him when you "defend" it. There's no sense to defend her work or her at all. She's not here, she doesn't need our help. Plus they are insulting HER, not you.

Dont' get caught up in their opinions. Half the time they are trolling just to rile you up.

As you know, it's difficult to have any hate for grimes. She's a very likeable character.
>>
>>73501534
I just looked at it like it was a fun song between her and blood diamonds (bloodpop?) ie. Her room mate. I mean if she can't make fun songs with her friends, why bother?

I agree it's a great club song if you've got the equipment. I never go to clubs but I wish I had a sub to really get the full go out of it hahaha.
>>
>>73501594

Naturally this will attract the r9k crowd, who didn't really appreciate Grimes before Art Angels.

Which in turn triggers her longer standing fans to troll us, and that troll is salty because she doesn't feel what I do.

And she is hungry to know so she picks and pries at us until we get triggered and spill the beans.

Or tears if you're a lol cow.
>>
>>73501534
>I do enjoy Visions but it does not connect with me emotionally like Art Angels does. I know her other fans feel opposite and disconnected from Art Angels but rave about Visions.
There are basically 3 major camps: AA fans, Visions fans, Halfaxa fans (much smaller category than the other 2). There is a small minority for GP and Darkbloom too. I noticed that most people who dig Visions don't really like AA and viceversa. I think I'm in a rare position where I enjoy both albums almost equally.
>>
>>73501628

Oh I wasn't the hot head in this thread, but I understand his need to defend his position and he's probably tuckered out so I'm filling in the blanks.

Because most of all I appreciate everything here in these generals and her work.

Grimes posting is just a fun but lazy way to express that appreciation.

>>73501661

It's a good song, I didn't criticize it. Great club song and I don't even go to clubs.
>>
>>73501663
Yeah but how can you get triggered over the internet? I've read all this shit on these forums and the only thing that truly bothered me was when they kept insisting she had a drug problem, the abortion shit, and other unsavory things (thirsty pussy).

But again, I realize that they're just being assholes. So I pretty much just laugh it off and ignore it. It's not personal to me, It doesn't hurt me. I like her and her music, so what does it matter if some don't see how great she is? I certainly don't expect everyone to.
>>
>>73501666

Between Visions and AA, the intended audience is different.
>>
>>73498389
>her spirit
>sexually excited
you're doing it wrong.

What appeals to me about her is her lyrics and ability to boil bg concepts down into catchy lyrics. She's always reminded me of David Byrne in other ways. Definitely enjoys putting on a show and is willing to work with the sounds of modern pop, but unwilling to make that define their style; always adding a certain strangeness and fringe vibe to their sounds.

Her early stuff is very simple, structurally and she doesn't shirk from that, even openly saying she's embarrassed by her early work. I've been a fan since her debut and got to tag along as she developed her skills and style and it's clear she's been progressing towards a more pop-oriented sound, but still keen on keeping her spooky/arty vibe going. As far as pop artists go, she's among the best of them out right now. I honestly think she's better than a large majority of modern artists, but also that there are plenty of people with comparable and vastly greater drive, talent and inspiration.

Visions as a concept album is really great material for anyone into /x/ type stuff. Definitely borrows from the tougher to comprehend ideas in alchemy and spellcraft.

Artangels moves away from this somewhat, but still has pretty clear spots of her working her beliefs into her music. From Visions-->artangels her production skills improved greatly. Also works with the great Masayoshi Tanaka; he helped her expand upon her pretty fucking mediocre guitar skills and, while not actually taking part in the mixing of the album, was a big inspiration and help in recording/touring for it.

Not even gonna proofread this wall of text.
>>
>>73501717

I wasn't the hothead this thread. I'm actually the Spartacus poster and a few before those.

He got triggered because he loves AA and felt directly attacked by the "troll".

It's silly isn't it? But that's how men are.
>>
>>73498467
Speak for yourself. I'm a devoted fan, but not obsessed. There is a world outside of the interbutts, m8.
>>
It's not sexual excitement, its emotional attachment from listening to her singing.

It's far more troublesome.
>>
>>73501773
Right but as a fan of hers, I still don't understand how people can get so triggered over this shit? I mean if you like it, fantastic. But the moment someone tries to hover and squat over what they like, people get crazy.

I mean that doesn't mean they can't like it. Someone takes a dump on an Art Angels cd, doesn't bother me. I've still got mine lol. Just means that person fucked themselves out of some money AND a cool album.

Ie. those sorts of troll shouldn't be angered at, they should be pitied.
>>
>>73498860
>her popularity here
Wait a second - are you looking for answers about her enduring popularity in general or just in the context of /mu?
>>
>>73501834

That's a grounded way to look at it. Many people aren't so tempered with emotions.
>>
>>73501871
Yeah, again. I think people need to move away from the waifu thing with her. Maybe they can see more clearly the trolling for what it is. People being bored.
>>
>>73498959
>I listened to enough of her songs
Which ones? How can you claim to be in a position to judge music that you apparently can't even name?

just read through the thread and I gotta say, the majority of fans defending her in here make me cringe pretty hard.

her music is the shit, but come on. Save the obsession for something practical at least.

To anyone interested in giving her a shot Visions is a good start. It's just about then that she started getting her footing down on her experimental-but-still-mainstream style.

She's always reminded me of Rush, The Pixies and Enya in these weird ways. It's never gonna happen but I'd love to hear what Rush and Grimes could cook up together.

Not a grimes "hater" anon. Please check your source and try again. This is a recording.

Yep. Same here. Big fan, really enjoy her music but the reactionary taint of these threads is really off putting even for me, who likes her and her music just fine.

In fact, many times I just check out of these threads entirely once they devolve into a 'NO YOU!' banter filled shitstorm.

That post you linked to it's so mega cringy.
>>
>>73502224
Yep. She's cute as hell and nothing she says is going to change that. Sucks that it annoys her but I think maybe she means that if people think she's cute, they're not taking her seriously.

I take her plenty serious as an artist but I still think she's cute as a button. She looks cuddly. LOL.
>>
>>73493392
Is this an actual quote from her?
>>
>>73502281
yep
>>
>>73502145
People are entitled to their opinions. I disagree about the sound of her music, but that's just how I feel about it. Who cares if someone else likes something you don't? Talk about something else or just don't talk to them.

To me it just sounds like high and distorted singing; almost emulating opera through tech because she doesn't have the vocs to actually pull it off. It helps that I think her lyrics are the shit though. An entire album about Dune? Fuck yeah I'll buy that.

And I think she's beautiful, but that's an after thought. Anyone listening to music because they're pining over the artist needs a better hobby.
>>
>>73502281
yes. from instagram. she's working on new music as we speak.
>>
>>73502329
>To me it just sounds like high and distorted singing; almost emulating opera through tech because she doesn't have the vocs to actually pull it off. I
her voice has actually a 4 1/2 octave range. she's not profesionally trained but she's not an amateur either. the reason she added so many effects is because she couldn't stand her own voice. she's a perfectionist.

btw check her ave maria cover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGLvUejoRb4
>>
>>73502329
Yep. Fully agree with you there. But I think that even though many say her older stuff has a lot of "distortion" I try to listen past that. I think this is partly due to her influence of "noise" music. I still don't know if I understand that genre.

She's a pretty good singer though IMO. Maybe she does a lot of takes, I have no idea. Listen to
'15 Minutes To' (unreleased -- on youtube). I feel it's one of her better vocal tracks. But that's just me.
>>
>>73502393
>>73502427
appreciate the suggestions. I take back what I said about her voice m8. She's clearly got a ton of talent

This tracks a little reminder for everyone in this thread wanting to wife/waifu her. You're in love with your idea of her, not the actual person. or all the distance between you and her, she may as well not even exist except as your idea of her.
