>>36413560>picking lesser known songs in order to seem cool and deepYep, that's a faggot. There's a reason they are singles, you know.
>>36413566that's four
>>36413593shut up nerd
>>36413560>having severe autism and not being able to enjoy a single
>>36413560Fuck off. You can't ever enjoy single songs? Besides, most of the things posted are album tracks of records that are popular here.
>>36413615>>36413588>Implying I was talking about hit singles and not referring to songs you enjoy on their own merits
>>36413667what does that even mean, jackass?

ALT-J - BreezeblocksCapital Cities - Kangaroo Court
1. Partyisntover/Campfire/Bimmer - Tyler, the Creator2. Turquoise - Kilo Kish3. Bulletproof Denali - SPEAK!4. No New Friends - DJ Khaled5. Started From the Bottom - Drake
>>36413699>being this absolutely retarded>14 year olds in charge of liking music
>>36413747Oh, so he's lying to feel superior? I get it now, thanks.
>>36413868>lying about only listening to albumsSo you stay in your car until the album finishes? You refuse to listen to badass radio stations like WFMU because of some weird superiority complex? I bet that feels great and all the ladies are on your dick.
>>36413868I love how /mu/ has always had these douchebags who claim to only listen to albums. As if they're somehow better than the rest of the world because they sit and suffer through the shitty songs.
Yeezy- Black SkinheadSavages- StrifeIceage- Ecstasy Vampire Weekend- Diane YoungJames Blake- RetrogradeI haven't listened to too much this year, but what I have listened to has been fantastic.
1. QOTSA- My God Is The Sun2. Atoms For Peace- Ingenue (or Default, I can't choose)3. Vampire Weekend- Step4. Daft Punk- Get Lucky5. QOTSA- I Appear Missingyup, QOTSA is on there twice. That's how good ...Like Clockwork is. Definitely my AOTY so far.
>>36413879>>36413905not even that guy but>implyingalmost as often as possible I listen to full albums, yes I will put on the radio or allow my friends to mess with my ipod in the car and play single songs, but rarely.
>>36413905I enjoy the silence when I'm driving. >>36413926I love how /mu/ is filled with children.
>>36413720>>36413931Oh god how did I forget about Jai Paul. Definitely one of the best songs I've heard this year.
I'll Take The Minute Snake - TTNGMorals - IceageHiccup - Buke and GaseNew You - MBVWIthout You My Life Would Be Boring - The Knife
Guided By Voices - W/ Glass In FootThe Knife - A Tooth For An EyeA$AP Rocky - 1 TrainSerengeti - WeddingThey Might Be Giants - Call You Mom
>>36413959Well then good on you, but how can one think that it's somehow superior to only listen to albums in full as opposed to a song here or there that you like? >>36413976>calls someone a child>posts a picture from a cartoonGreat job, there.
>>36413833pleb detected
>>36413959god help me if I have to listen to all of a Rollins Band album in order to hear Do It.
>>36414001>cartoon>This stupidMan do you skip your classes or something kid?
Vampire Weekend - Hannah HuntKurt Vile - Wakin On a Pretty DayYo La Tengo - Is That EnoughDeerhunter - PensacolaFoals - My NumberI need to listen to more music.
>>36414047>continues to call someone a child>posts a gif from a video gameWell lordy be.
>>36414001oh I don't think I'm superior for it, that guy is being a pompous dick, but the two guys implied that you can't actually prefer to listen to albums in full and are only doing it to feel superior, I was disputing that>>36414045who?
>>36414047>calls me a kid>posts a picture from a video gameHuh?
Jai Paul - track 10Enemies - BeacherJT - Blue Ocean FloorJames Blake - Life Round HereThe Front Bottoms - Skeleton
>>36414065>yfw they were both posting pictures from video games
>>36414070Oh, fair enough. If you prefer it that's fine, but it's no better or worse than picking and choosing tracks. /mu/ has always taken umbrage with people who listen to playlists for no apparent reason.
>>36414065>>36414075>children's last resort is to question my immense maturity by criticizing a picture of a game with an age rating above their own age.
>>36414095>mfw I have no faceSo some /v/ dude is calling me a child?
>>36414114>immense maturitylol
>Singles>being this plen>not listening to full albums
>>36414114I wasn't criticizing shit, dummy. I was saying you're a manchild if your go-to references are all video games.
>>36414116yeahbecause you are a manchild
>>36414114>question my immense maturityhahahaha 3/10
>>36414149the only people who have this opinion are mind-bogglingly retards who don't pay attention to individual songs
>>36414154Not as childish as some kid listening to singles.

>>36414194>>36414149>actually believing thisit's mind-boggling that kids and /mu/ have always thought this. clearly y'all didn't grow up in a time when you couldn't listen to albums before you bought them. I have so many memories of really liking some song I had heard on the radio, then being completely disappointed by the album after I bought it. Being able to so easily access music has caused young people to over-appreciate full albums. Since you've never known the heartbreak of disappointment at an album that doesn't live up to a single, you can't possibly relate.
>>36414286Fucking this. >tfw blockbuster music in my town started letting you listen to the album before you bought itLiterally saved me hundreds of dollars.
>>36414196>Soap&Skin - SugarbreadYes.
>>36414253I'm gonna throw In Buffet There Is No Law by Smash Potater and Your Heart Warming Story Makes Me Sick by Ken Mode on the tail end there too.

>>36414286>bein a nigga>not pleasing
>>36414286It's amazing you don't have the attention span for an album and think singles are superior.
mbv-wonder 2pure x-shadows and liesdean blunt-imperial goldcoma cinema-burn a church waves-demon to lean on
>>36414456I don't think singles are superior. I think that singles have equal validity to albums. I personally prefer listening to a good album in full, but am not so small-minded to think that it's inferior to listening and enjoying a single song at a time. (I'd also like to point out that you're still using cartoon pictures)
1. Mariah Carey- #Beautiful (Feat. Miguel)2. Youth Lagoon- Mute3. Phosphorescent- Song For Zula4. The Knife- A Tooth For An Eye5. Daft Punk- Contact
nick cave & the bad seeds - push the sky awaythe fall - irishnothing else has been good this year.
>>36414530I'd like to point out that cartoons have better reaction image potential than most of their 3D counterparts. I can see why you'd think singles have the same validity if you listen to the radio. But listening to the radio is for turboplebes.

>>36420224>you reflect me, I love that about youI thought that was more like "you show me who I really am" not "you're similar to me"
Vampire Weekend - Hannah HuntMakthaverskan - AsleepYo La Tengo - OhmFoxygen - San FranciscoFrightened Rabbit - The Woodpile
>>36420339The central metaphor is that she is his "mirror," a device specifically used to show you yourself. It's incredibly narcissistic. Also, it's like "Cry Me a River v. 3.0"
>>36420288>Carly Rae Jepsen - "Tonight I'm Getting Over You" >(It's everything Robyn's "Dancing On My Own" should have been and then some)
>>36420428but, check the post you just replied toa mirror can represent vanity or introspection
>>36420446Protip: When you use a reaction picture, make sure there's an actual reaction being shown or else it's just a random picture without any meaning
>>36420512The reaction in that image is one that is very skeptical, as I am of that completely fucking moronic claim.
Austra - HomeDaughter - SmotherDucktails - Sedan MagicGazelle Twin - This is My HandParenthetical Girls - Evelyn McHaleI also like the Chance the Rapper song with the rhombus line
>>36420493There's still the implication that her main redeeming feature is the fact that she's so great because she's a representation of him somehow rather than for her own actual personality traits.>luv how you're so much like me me, bbz. >you teach me about myself. >forget having your own personality as long as you're JUST. LIKE ME.>>36420550Ah, yes. Black men sitting at computers with blank expressions are an archetype for skepticism. How could I forget? How in the hell does he even look skeptical?Anyway, Robyn's always sounded unnecessarily smug, as she does in that song, and song is weighed down further by that "there's a big black sky over my town" line that serves no other purpose than to rhyme with "I know where you at, I bet she's around."
>>36420797One raised eyebrow + smirk = skepticism. Go to the doctor to treat your autism, bro.And I'll take Robyn's "unnecessary" smugness to Jepsen's formulaic shittyness, because that's all that her song is.
>>36420797>she, herDude the bitch didn't write the song
>>36420865The song isn't even formulaic. It's straightforward, but it's not formulaic.And forgive me if I couldn't see the man's eyebrows when they're the same exact color as the rest of his skin and the picture has the resolution of a beeper from 1992.>autismso edgy>>36420886who are you even talking about
>>36413135haim - fallingdaughter - youthdungeonesse - crazy for youdaft punk - instant crushglass candy - warm for the winter
>>36421056>dungeonesse - crazy for yousorry, thats make me crazy
>>36421018Even if that was the case, that still leaves the shittyness.
>>36420288I was thinking the same thing about Mirrors the other day.Like, it's pretty good but that line is just so fucking corny. Makes no sense to be so stupidly narcissistic in a love song but seems to me just like an example of his flaws as a songwriter.The lyrics were the biggest turn off I found on 20/20.
>>36421086Not really. The way the music is compressed in the verses and the prechorus to the point where all you hear is her voice emphasizes how alone and rejected she feels. Then the chorus hits and THWACK you know that she really is getting over him/you/whomever tonight, with each successive repetition of the title sounding more and more emphatic. And then she stops singing and all you hear is that huge house breakdown and you can practically feel her dancing with "somebody new."Sorry if you couldn't detect any of that during your listen. I know if I listened to Vampire Weekend my brainpower would have been sapped to the point where such clever ideas would have gone over my head, too. :)
Chance the Rapper - pusha manJames Haircut - Retrogradethe Knife - Fracking Fluid InjectionsGucci Mane - ScholarVampire weekend - ya hey
>>36421201Apparently all twenty tracks off 20/20 (both editions) were written and recorded in just 20 days due to label pressure. It's really no wonder the lyrics suffered. Most of the lyrics aren't quite as bad as on that song, but occasionally they just border on embarrassing.
>>36421353How did I forget the Knife when making my list wtf
>>36420797it's not like every song needs to encompass every reason you like someone
1. Vampire Weekend - Hannah Hunt
>>36421305haha that's actually a pretty good analysis, although I'm not so impressed with >quiet=sad, but big chorus is happy
>>36421640you cant trust her can you anon
>>36421591But that's all he talks about. For a solid eight minutes. You'd think he could think of something, anything else that he loved about her, aside from what she reflects about him
1. Justin Timberlake - Mirrors2. 1 Train - A$AP Rocky3. Full of Fire - The Knife4. The Middle Child - Daniel Romano5. My Prism - The UnderachieversPretty shitty list but I barely recall single songs. I'm an album feller m'self
