Bro he doesn’t have the hairline and lowkey never did. You can look at videos of his from 2011 when he tried rocking hair and that shit was hanging on for dear life even then 😂
@@seseqsequsequesequensequent If it was called Intros to be ghosted by a store of pimped butterflies turning a wheel to make a discovery of a madvillan he would've given it a 10 honestly, nevermind its not even good.
I liked out of pricnciple bc I do in principle support the bass intros very much. But I gotta say, this was the most entertaining episode in a long time for me. All the singing XD
@@lebumjames1373 Carti stans showing their enthusiastic support for beating women and domestic violence in general. I wish I could say I was surprised. Dude is a piece of shit and his music is mid get over it.
I 100% believe the revisionist takes on Imagine Dragons old work are a continuation of the sudden reversal on the hate for Nickelback. I don’t mind either of these bands but in these past couple years, it seems lots of people who just a couple years ago would have dumped on Nickelback suddenly went to defending them. And since Imagine Dragons were called the 2010s Nickelback for a long time, people are just doing the same revisionist defense to that same concept of sterile every-man rock. It’s possible for these bands to have separate qualities and to be rated differently despite filling a very similar niche.
Nickelback is basically the definition of post grunge with a touch of alternative metal, not to mention tight as hell and absolutely killer live. Imagine Dragons are just pop imo.
Sicko Mode may have influenced the current trend of mid-song beat switches, but I feel like Sicko was influenced by Kendrick's DNA. That beat switch was so damn good
Really the only beat switchup in Sickomode that think was dumb was the first one. Like it’s such an iconic introduction, but it’s kinda wasted by being a glorified introduction for the track.
i feel like the separation between the two different beats there isn't nearly as stark as it is on sicko mode, or even on something like nights by frank which may have also influenced the trend
I know it's hard for Melon fans but please hop off Kendrick's meat lmfaooo. Travis has been doing beat switches way before DNA came out and beat switches have existed in hip hop since forever.
7:13 What Fantano describes here is actually the exact reason I got into Radiohead, For a good while I was just kind eh on them, They're alright but there's far better stuff out there, But then one time I tried singing "Karma Police" and I was just like "Goddang that's actually pretty good.", And now I like Radiohead.
I’ve tried numerous times to listen to their albums & tbh it’s just so bland and boring. It reminds me of the times when people would pull out a guitar and force you to listen to them play
@@datboib3432 Honestly I haven't actually listened to any of their albums in full, but they have a few songs I like. I feel their music is much better if you try to focus on the instrumentation rather than the vocals, because being honest Thom Yorke's vocals are just not that exciting.
@@MrLurchMedia yeah, I tried listening to kid a twice in full - once in high school, once a few years ago (though admittedly, I was skipping through most of the tracks after ~a minute) They got some good songs but imo only like 4 or 5 over most of their early albums. They dont have an album that I can listen to all the way through, its boring & there’s no great return for sitting through it all imo
Yeah, and even if you want to extend that argument into "well Rodeo was 10+ years ago", JID had a beat switch track (NEVER) in 2017, a year before Astroworld/Sicko Mode.
Yeah and he did it way better on 90210. Also beat switches have been a thing for decades I guess people just aren’t aware that music before 2018 exists
Trueeee, heathen and the next day show his solid foundations of songwriting and performance were still incredible at that point and Buddha of suburbia and earthling both show how he was still that deep into his career and pushing experimental sounds and never resting on his laurels. Love all four of those projects and while comparing any album to the Berlin trilogy is a tough ask, that era still stands up better than albums earlier in his career (never let me down) and certainly shows how he was head and shoulders above other mega stars when it comes to always trying to make new and exciting music and take actual risks
Also, one could argue blackstar the track was one point of foreshadowing for the current trend of beat switching (although I doubt there is a ton of direct inspiration there)
I will say that Let's Dance and Scary Monsters aren't enough to beat what he dropped in the 90s and onwards (even though I love Scary Monsters). That said, his 70s stuff is top tier
Blonde was an album I didn’t get into till like 2 years ago.. I know some of songs are heartbreakingly tragic but it fills me with a sense of calm I can’t explain - album makes me feel like i’m in a garden wearing oversized clothes and chasing butterflies 🦋
Never understood what the appeal of Carti is. Especially now that the generic trap sound that permeates all his music post 2020 is getting really played out. It's insulting at this point to call his brand of hip hop experimental, because it's probably the least experimental sound currently circulating in mainstream rap.
Basically all of his singles for this new album sound really bland. Like, he just sounds bored on all of them and can't deliver with that same raw energy he had on WLR
Look man, call me an old head or whatever but I cannot stand the way he sounds, bro that is so whiny and like his voice is like so unappealing to listen to
This Let's Argue was in fact a Let's Croon, and I'm absolutely positively here for it. Keep channeling that Scotty, my man! Also, Ryan, good work with finding instrumentals that are actually somewhat in key with Anthony's surf-singing, I applaud the attention to detail 🤣
Bowie from 1993-2003 is underrated and better than his 1980-1990 output. 1. Outside... is a legit masterpiece that belongs with his best work (the closest thing to Blackstar he did previously) Heathen is great and Earthling, Hours... and Buddha of Suburbia are solid. But yeah, hard to find a decade of music by any artist that is better than Bowie in the 70s, that part of the take is ridiculous.
I like some songs on Night Visions like Selene, Tiptoe, and Nothing Left to Say that's as far as my imagine dragons appreciation goes but i do really like those songs
Not Imagine Dragons but I feel that sentiment is true for Maroon 5. I remember really liking their early stuff at one point in time but I can't find what I used to like about them in their newer stuff.
Carti music sounds like it's made by someone who hates modern rap. Like, if I wanted to make fun of modern rap and made a joke song to show how stupid it sounds to me, it'd probably sound exactly like a Carti song
Imagine thinking New England is special for fall colors when that happens in California too. He doesn’t know how trees work and we care about his opinion?
I feel the same way about Tyler's music being better before [in terms of the david bowie part] i understand that he's happier making the music he makes now though so as much as I love the older music it's not worth having the guy be depressed again just to make the music I like
On the post-grunge point… PLEASE listen to Failure, Melon. They are so overlooked and in my opinion they are an absolute diamond of the post-grunge era. Their lyrical style is beautifully poetic, their instrumentals are woven into the meaning of each piece, and they just sound so goddamn good. Of course I could be biased because I am a huge fan of them. But I feel like they’re left out of the post-grunge discussion far too much.
What’s interesting about the beat switch take is for griselda I genuinely hope at least one song on an album has a switch and usually they don’t or it’s very rare (double hockey sticks, reversible, rip Bobby, etc but their production is good enough for me to wanna hear 2 beats. Trav is very good at it too
Playboi carti came to New Zealand a couple years ago to perform at RNV. Might as well have just chucked my phone on the aux since all he did was ad lib his songs. Then get got bombed with toilet paper from the crowd because he was “absolute shit” 😂😂
