@northernnarwhal literally the lowest common denominator of EDM
-
@northernnarwhal tfw you're actually looking forward to Skrillex after this
-
@northernnarwhal Recess was pretty good too. He just kind of was the epitome of all that was wrong with Brostep for a while there
-
@rarity hey he's got some solid production skills!!!
-
@celestiaforequestria he just doesn't use those powers for good all the time
-
@rarity I didn't like Recess, I thought it lacked the energy, abrasion, and interesting production of his earlier work.
-
@rarity Amen
-
@northernnarwhal really? It had a few really strong tracks like Coast is Clear and Dirty Vibe
-
@rarity I actually liked Dirty Vibe, but I felt that Recess was inconsistent overall as a record. His previously fresh ideas have run themselves pretty thin, and I understand he's trying to push for different sounds on Recess but ultimately his songwriting doesn't justify his ambitions and Recess holistically comes off lacking any sense of cohesion.
-
@northernnarwhal I agree that it's more like a collection of random tracks that have no connection to the other. I'd LOVE if he did a whole album like Coast is Clear
-
@northernnarwhal *inserts self* I really liked Stranger. It had a throwback (though not necessarily Skrillex) feel to it. Dirty Vibe definitely went hard- but got old quick for me. Totally agreed though- the album was really all over the place.
-
@rarity Yeah, I feel like he's trying his hand in a lot of different places but he doesn't have the songwriting capabilities to back up the multiple genre influences he's reaching for.
-
@northernnarwhal I wouldn't say that he doesn't have the songwriting skills. IIRC he wrote everything for FFTL
-
@rarity I wouldn't exactly consider that a really prestigious credential. I mean, I'm not saying he doesn't have songwriting skills, just that his capabilities can't match his ambitions.
-
@northernnarwhal he can only get better though
-
@celestiaforequestria Recess suffers a lot from a lack of identity and lots of poorly developed ideas
-
@northernnarwhal Same
-
@rarity He can, but this also implies that good ideas follow him as he progresses his ability
-
@northernnarwhal Maybe too many collaborators? We'll never know!
