The 2015 music thread - Page 10

Shame that Charisma.com's 2015 game is becoming generally weak - and leaves too much room for "better" newcomers in the vein of Daoko (as a case in point):

Her latest major debut might be a bit too vapid for non-stans but it's all fine tho :V

I downloaded the AAC of DAOKO not expecting much, and was pleasantly surprised enough to get the 24/96 and listen through an excellent DAC and headphones. I was disappointed. While some of the non-single songs have intriguing arrangements and interesting structures, I thought the mix kind of sucked. Why, for example, was the high end rolled off of the background vocals in every single song? I also thought that some elements were buried too far back in the mix, etc. but I am not going to go into deep detail. Don't care enough. Suffice to say that it is not in DIStopping's league.

I don't think that one lame single makes Charisma.com's 2015 game "generally" weak. If the hairbrush superhero song sucks too, then I will reluctantly agree with you.

Remember how much the pre DIStopping singles sucked (I speak of Chankoi and Happy Turn- both having product tie ins too) before being put in context with album though- when listening to them within that album they sound good, great even.

New Liturgy is really something else. Totally thrilled by it!

Incoming metalhead hate.

FadedSun · 2015.03.27, 04:57 AM

So, is anyone else listening to the new Kendrick Lamar album? I've been on binge for the past 2 weeks.

deadgrandma · 2015.03.27, 05:00 AM

I'll give it a go once I've listened to the new Death Grips enough :-)

Tokyo Jihad · 2015.03.30, 10:06 AM

K Dot's new one is so good it made me put Death Grips on hold.

deadgrandma · 2015.03.30, 03:48 PM

To be honest, I can't help but get Nu-Metal/Limp Bizkit flashbacks when listening to parts of Jenny Death, makes me wonder whether Death Grips will age well or be a nostalgic band in 10 years :-p

FadedSun · 2015.04.01, 06:51 AM

Tried listening to Death Grips yesterday and couldn't get into it at all.

Is that new Action Bronson album worth trying tho? His earlier tracks didn't really click and I thought if I should give his latest ((over)hyped) album a chance...

Speaking of Charisma girls:

Not bad.
