brockhampton are very repetitive with what they do, every thing they attempt they do multiple times on a project. The r&b aspect is half-assed and frank ocean-esque, the pop rap about the struggles being an adolescent are honestly infantile and completely unrelatable to anyone not a 19 year old with student loans leading to an alienation to people who currently aren't beholden to this burden. The "hard" songs are alright, but they found that that these songs are the ones people like the most so they decided to make over half the songs about this and its overbearing.

>>74870163
Nah, they're both pretty mediocre. Besides, DAMN. and Saturation 1 & 2 are similarly mindless "banger" albums that don't reward the listener is any way.

i really like brockhampton but these are all valid criticisms good post

You are cringey as fuck and all your points are just personal opinions, you not even looking at it objectively
>inb4 music isnt objective

>>74870280
how exactly does a deeper album reward the listener more? I have way more fun listening to """"banger""""" rap because its fun, fun is something i enjoy, i get fun out of it

>>74870309
Fair enough, I guess. Personally I don't find those types of songs fun at all, I find them obnoxious and repetitive, but to each their own. I hope Brockhampton will click for me eventually, considering the unending praise they've been getting as of late. I guess I'll keep trying.

How the fuck am I reddit? I genuinely don't like Brockhampton. Their music is cliched and generic, with barely anything separating them from literally any pop-rap act out there today yet being praised by critics for their alleged "originality", "daring" and "creativity" that in reality doesn't really exist at all. Plebs will defend this by pointing to their lyrics, but is that really all you care about when you listen to music? It's really upsetting seeing these people get applauded for shitting out three (THREE) average and boring albums in one year with minimal effort put into all 3 them. There is nothing memorable about their music- it's in one ear and out the other. The hooks, which so many of their songs heavily depend on, fall flat on their faces. Worst of all, the production sucks out any humanity the music could've had- everything just seems so safe, so artificial and calculated. Why couldn't they have taken actual risks? As it is, I can't point out anything special about their music. It doesn't even succeed as pop music. Also, this may be a minor gripe, but why do they shower all the sung vocals in autotune? Any why do they use that same shitty synth on so many songs? Brockhampton just comes off as obnoxious and one-dimensional, instead of the endearing energy they're trying to convey. I feel nothing when they listen to them, not joy, not hype, nothing. I suppose I'm in the minority when I say this.

lordy what a novel

>>74870293
thats music isnt objective you spastic cunt

>>74870728
i don't get the impression you've even listened to brockhampton from reading this comment. a person who has never listened to a brockhampton song could easily write this

>>74870818
I haven't listened to Saturation 1 yet, but I've heard 2. I'll admit my arguments are very general, but I still stand by them.

>>74870836
I didn't read your first post, that one makes more sense, i just wanted to call someone out because i know this happens sometimes

i've only listened to 1. it's not incredible but it's got personality and does more than one thing and it leverages the DIY aspect to its advantage

>>74870293
Big surprise you fucking idiot, this board is used for discussing personal opinions about music. That's what it looks like when someone elaborates on their personal opinions beyond "I like it" or "I don't".

One thing that has annoyed me for so long about this board is all you morons who are so obsessed with "objectivity" even though you so clearly have no idea what the fuck it means.

Can I ask you to link me a music review that is completely objective but is also insightful? Only cold, hard, facts please.

God I really hate you

>and all your points are just personal opinions, you not even looking at it objectively
Eh I kinda see this although that was mostly how I felt about Brockhampton as a whole listening to only these two projects but you can't argue with the fact that that they attempt to do one thing multiple times on the same project. Also I was never aiming for objectivity

>>74870728
Could you be anymore Reddit?

>>74870728
I agree far to heavily with what you're saying

So this is what Vice Media Group hip hop sounds like.
>And I thought I already heard the new Action Bronson album

>>74871281
I really don't like how action Bronson gets a pass for basically ripping off ghostface

yes this exactly, I'm 20 and right in their demographic but I can see them getting stale very fast. The stuff they rap about is relatable (to me) but there's not much about it that's introspective or impactful. It's honestly better than them putting up a front about their relatively limited life experience though IMO. If they're still rapping about this shit in ~5 years, that'll be a different story.

>>74871365
Maybe I overlooked the fact that they're still basically teenagers and don't really have much to say about the world or themselves. Ill ease up and give them some time to develop their sound because I believe they're still relatively new.

>pitch shifted vocals
Fucking kill me this is one of the things stopping me from giving them anything higher than a 7. There's no good use for this every time they use it it makes the song 100× worse

>>74871445
Agreed, I'm okay with Kevin's pitch-shifted melodic vocals when it's clear he's trying to sound like a girl but Ameer has a cool voice, his verse on SWAMP didn't need to be pitch-shifted.

>>74870293
Miss me with this bullshit, /mu/ needs more legit attempts at music discussion

also
>looking at it objectively
This is a fool's errand when it comes to music, you know that right? Fucking moron.

>>74871445
Frank Ocean did it well. It doesn't suit Brockhampton.
