IT'S HARD TO SAY THAT I'D RATHER STAY AWAKE WHEN I'M ASLEEP

>>33846336dental care made me L O L
>>33846494I really don't get the Owl City / The Postal Service comparison controversy.Really the only similarity is that their voices kinda sound the same. Otherwise, they both structure their songs completely different from each other and they just straight up sound way different.
>>33846594this post was 3 minutes ago.
>>33846543>Umbrella Beach>Not best track on the album
Port Blue > Owl City
>>33846594>implying the majority of music critics can judge song structure
>>33846754are you fucking crazy hell no.it's the third worst
>>33846775I like Port Blue but no.>>33846785tru
Not sure if this thread is ironic or not but I really enjoy owl city. They're kind of fun and simple.
>>33846846It's not.
>>33846846I genuinely like this album.
>>33846894As do I.I did this >>33846543
I'll try it later. I only know Fireflies
>tfw you pretended to like this album to get pussy
>>33846960why did you have to pretend?it's fucking great>>33846938Fireflies is one of the average tracks. There are way better tracks on the album.
I haven't listened to this album but I think it's safe to assume it's about a 2/10.
it's just a fuckin generic electropop album, there is really nothing special about it
>>33846994safe assumption.
>>33846994assholeit's a 9/10 or 4.5/5
How far are we going to take this post-ironic "Be as not r/music and 9fag as you possibly can" bullshit?
>>33847001wrong>>33847012fuck you
>>33847012holy inflated rating scheme batman
>>33847025But I actually like this album...
>>33847001That's why I like it. It's simple and happy. Good for casual listening.
>>33847050It's one of my favorite albums. >>33846543
>>33847058Casual? When I listen to it it's intense.
>>33847058pleb
>>33847104fuckface
>>33847058do you know what else is simple and happy? suicide
>>33847071irrelevantthere is no way this is in the top 5 percent of all albums ever made
>>33846994>I haven't listen to itWell, maybe you should before dismissing it. You can't spare 40 minutes?
>>33847131but it's subjective, so to me it is in the top 1%
>>33847128Lol 2edgy4me friend
>>33847144Exactly.
>>33847157>subjectivestopyou don't understand how rating scales workplease stop using them
>>33847157
>>33847194>>33847195Maybe it hasn't been rated highly, but I would rate it high because it's one of my personal favorites.
>>33847157>claiming taste is subjective>2013.14shiggity diggity doooo
>tfw when he sings: "I like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
>>33847289I'm not falling for that.
>>33847314Stop quoting Fireflies. Fireflies is in 9th place out of 12 >>33846543
The fact that people have legitimate opinions about this album on this board concerns me.

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success: the Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worth of being saved.
>>33847725In a sense the Beatles are emblematic of the status of rock criticism as a whole: too much attention to commercial phenomena (be it grunge or U2) and too little attention to the merits of real musicians. If somebody composes the most divine music but no major label picks him up and sells him around the world, a lot of rock critics will ignore him. If a major label picks up a musician who is as stereotyped as one can be but launches her or him worldwide, your average critic will waste rivers of ink on her or him. This is the sad status of rock criticism: rock critics are basically publicists working for free for major labels, distributors and record stores. They simply publicize what the music business wants to make money with.Hopefully, one not-too-distant day, there will be a clear demarcation between a great musician like Tim Buckley, who never sold much, and commercial products like the Beatles. And rock critics will study more of rock history and realize who invented what and who simply exploited it commercially. Beatles' "aryan" music removed any trace of black music from rock and roll: it replaced syncopated african rhythm with linear western melody, and lusty negro attitudes with cute white-kid smiles.
