Wheat Loaf posted:I have a question for anyone who's knowledgeable about charts - for some reason I was recently looking at the list of Billboard number-one dance singles in 1978 (no doubt I was reading the page for one of the albums or artists and found my way there) and I'm a bit confused about why there's some entries that list an album and "all cuts", an example being Instant Replay by Dan Hartman (great album, by the way; as far as awkward-looking white guys playing disco music go, he is definitely one of my favourites). How did that work? Maybe the A side was released in different formats with different B sides.

the truth posted:It's too bad her albums aren't that good. Ariana idolizes Mariah as a singer, but more up and comers should seek to emulate her as a songwriter. Mariah had fantastic albums beyond the singles, and it's all thanks to her prowess as a songwriter. Mariah Carey wrote her own songs? I didn't know that.

That song's about dating a portly gal, right? Like he takes her to a buffet on the first date cause he couldn't afford it otherwise. Am I reading this right?

Do they do any other unexpected covers like that? I've never been much of a fan before but maybe I like them doing other people's music better than their own.

What is an example of late 90s/early 2000’s pop that sounds less produced and modern pop that is over produced? When I think of late 90s pop I think Backstreet Boys, Brittany Spears, Spice Girls... not exactly minimalist poo poo. And I can think of a lot of modern pop music that‘s lo-fi/bedroom hip hop influenced. Well produced but spartan compared to Backstreet Boys.

Sir Lemming posted:Late 90s is probably too late. That's right around when compression was getting really crazy. Think mid 90s -- like Alanis Morisette, which I guess is "alternative" but really, that was pop at the time. Alanis Morrisette isn't the first name that comes to mind when I think of 90's pop radio. Ironic got a little bit of crossover play but Madonna and Whitney Houston and Michael/Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey...that's what was getting played on top 40 radio stations. Even 2010 was almost a decade ago! I think there's some very "overproduced" sounding pop music right now, and some very intentionally sparsely produced pop music (think songs like Justin Bieber Sorry, or Hotline Bling). If anything, producers and engineers are probably better at producing songs to sound good when they're listened to on youtube or spotify.

The only one that is kinda one note is Honeymoon, but it’s one note in a hypnotic way and it starts to hum by the time you get to Freak.

exquisite tea posted:I'm super late to the party on this but Heard It in a Past Life by Maggie Rogers has got to be one of my favorite albums of the year. I heard of her first at Newport Folk in July and have been listening to her during my morning commute nearly every day since then. Almost every track is just killer and I can't believe it didn't get more 9s and 10s from the critics. That sounds very dated to me, like adult contemporary from the 90s/Lilith fair vibe.

DC Murderverse posted:she's always had a reputation (lol) as a very good songwriter but I feel like the last couple of album cycles have sort of made people second guess that (even though there's still plenty of evidence on those two albums, flawed though they are), and she more than anyone else has used the whole label "Album Cycle" process very strictly to develop her albums and eras, so if there was one artist who really wasn't set up in how they worked in the past to make an album this quickly and spontaneously, it's Taylor. Maybe flex is the wrong turn but it is a reminder of her talent and ability after a few years where a lot of people were wondering if she was on the downslope of her career. Yeah but how much of that was her and how much was label/touring schedule? Record execs figured out a long time ago that putting out 2 albums a year doesn’t maximize profits.

What a weird career arc he’s had so far. I can’t think of another artist who was a lock to be a one hit wonder who just ended up having staying power because they’re really likeable.

DC Murderverse posted:I would say it goes beyond likeable, he’s very good at a lot of aspects of pop stardom. He knows how to attract and command attention, his new songs are all very personal and well written, he works with similarly talented people and as a result keeps putting out bangers. If his songs weren’t good his welcome probably would have been worn out after Panini or Montero (Call Me By Your Name) I agree. I heard another one of his new songs lately and it was a solid pop song. He’s got talent and he’s working with good people. It’s just such an uphill climb when your first exposure is a novelty song. He’s not someone I seek out to listen to but I’m glad it seems like he’s making it.

Which is okay because that was always going to be hard af to accomplish All the songs are good but the album is too one note. I’m sure that was a decision to make it laid back but I wonder if she had other songs that could have made the cut and mixed it up. Production is great though.

The REAL Goobusters posted:New Lorde album somehow more boring than the new Billie album! I like it better on relisten but you wonder how it could have been different. Big Star is a really good song but antonoff’s boring guitar accompaniment just feels like it has been done before. Even if you wanted to keep it simple there are other choices that would have been more interesting. There’s a lot of really nice songwriting though.
