beerwolf Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I wonder what all the fuss is about myself but here's the NME's opinion of the man of the moment or 'the dubstep clown' as they put it. http://www.nme.com/blog/index.php?blog=146&p=9728&title=why_james_blake_is_the_new_phil_collins&more=1&c=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chassis Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I though the album was quite disappointing to be honest. His EP's are so full of hope, didnt deliver in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His EP's are so full of hope, didnt deliver in my opinion. i really really liked klavierwerke, but holy shit that lp is just so boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 i don't even know who he or mount kimbie is, whats the deal? edit: haha this video fits perfectly into the first item on my kill list, totally normal music with cheesy effects on it to make it sound 'weird' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Green Kingdom Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Dumb comparison, I like both, so what kind of tool am I? Obviously he never heard Collins rip it up on drums in Brand X! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ms-dos Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 you're all full of shit. i honestly think that the majority of watmm's taste is too narrow to like his album. it's completely brilliant btw. i'm sure he's very sorry that he didn't include enough 140 bpm drill and bass faggotry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 haha, its funny that when something is poppy and vocal based you have to be 'closed minded' sorry 'narrow minded' not to like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ms-dos Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 aw man robbie, if you're thinking of limit to your love, that's my least favorite track on the album. still like it tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not necessarily as disappointed as in my first listen but people who enjoy the LP saying "you don't like this album because you are close-minded" has been seen too often solely for this album. James Blake's new direction has definitely created an opposition between the listeners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not read such an attention seeking and self serving article for ages you clearly haven't been reading much NME then. i'd love to kick conor mcnicholls scrawny hipster ass from here to the point where they declared electroclash to be the future of music back in 2001 and back again.
