Siivola posted:Idgi, is he playing too many notes or something I don't know exactly what it is. It's beyond me. I feel like whenever I see him perform, that he's making fun of me. That all that stuff he's doing should be sounding like good music to my smooth brain, but I'm just too deficient to process it all. It just sounds like out of tune nonsense to me. But when I skipped to that part where he's playing that flute piano thing it all just dawned on me that he's doing it at my expense. I'm being trolled --hard-- and falling for it.

I feel the same way about both Dreamtheater and Yngwie Malmsteen. I know they are both musical masters and have a lot of technical skill, but they are both above my head as well and I find them mostly boring to listen to for fun.

1000 Brown M and Ms posted:Good, I'm not the only one. He's obviously an incredibly skilled musician, but I just can't get into any of his stuff. It doesn't help that I really don't like his singing voice. Something about it just doesn't work for me. It feels like he's stretching his voice to sound like a bassy crooner but his voice naturally wants to sing in the higher registers. It sounds like he's doing an impression of what he thinks a "sexy" male voice sounds like. The aesthetic also looks like an incredibly deliberate and crafted appeal to the modern Poor Millennial with that idiotic thiftstore-hipster-cred jacket and that girl's colored leggings + immaculate makeup and purple hair. The whole thing looks fake and try hard. The Muppets On PCP posted:just sounds like the usual cloying overly twee white people noise npr traffics in This is a pretty good take also. I think the same thing pretty much every time I hear xylophones in modern music. GreatGreen fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Apr 28, 2020 |

It's like a guy trying to cross a stream. These guys build a huge complex concrete-and-glass masterpiece with a working watermill, several flats and three architecture awards, but somehow forgetting the actual path over the stream. Meanwhile, Angus Young puts a log across and calls it a day, and everyone appreciates a job well done.

Naw it's fine in that department from the song linked. There are some drum rhythm choices that might not be typical to pop music but they are absolutely boring as hell to jazz players like these. Like most of the linked part is a plain reggae beat with a typical bass improv part but added melodica noodling that feels a tad much. Then the later section at worst drags tempo wise in a spot and the drummer does a shuffle a few times over the rest of the band doing a two/four beat thing but that's nothing unusual. Like I will never listen to this music for fun because it feels like someone should be teaching me my ABCs while it plays but it's less fun. But these people have chops and are doing it right in so much as a jazz school would ask. That's just incredibly boring to me.

Do you mean that someone has made allegations that Jacob Collier has, for example, harassed someone? Or are you just calling him a sex pest because you don't like his shirt?

I'll watch an hour of Brushy One String before I want to hear your Giant Steps solo. Oh and the sax player from Too Many Zoos is awesome too.

but you can put in your reverb listing it was cut on the lyrec t818 now used by fancylad studios in london so it's totally worth like $100 because the overtones on mr. bongo's b3 just leap out of the speakers
