Because it's pretty derivative, mediocre pop? I can't fathom why this has so much hype or has been received like it has.

You can probably guess that I dislike what I've heard.

California is an excellent diss song and sounds the way it does for a very good reason So yes you did exactly what I initially said: you checked out a couple singles and assumed that's what the whole album sounded like so you decided to go on MusicBanter and ended up making yourself look like a fool. The variety of the tracks is part of what makes it such a superb album, but clearly only listening to the most mainstream track on the list is more than enough to make a dumbass statement like what I bolded. ffs

How does Grimes' new album compare to Visions? If it's at all similar I'll just hop on the "meh, this isn't awful but it's overhyped as hell" train now.
Stara Rzeka - Zamknęły się oczy ziemi (2015) This is a melting pot of metal, ambient, and post rock. Not my metal album of the year yet, but it's definitely quite high up there based on the first listen.

It's worse. Far less of the interesting appeal or edge. It's basically pure pop that's poorly realised. But defer to Frownland for a balanced argument.

Cannot believe we are on a dedicated music forum and we have someone judging an entire album off of barely a third of the track listing, it numbs the **** out of my brain right now
I prefer Art Angels to Visions personally. They're not all that similar
