Oneohtrix Point Never - Age Of

[hello spiral]

You'll take the vocals and you'll like them ya fuckin neckbeard

[YangYing]

I don't want vocals please.

I'm generally ok with vocals.. but when I heard

 

"I wanna see inside the alien

I wanna feel your organs inside out"

 

I couldn't help but lol

[Real Human Bean]

Babylon is one of the worst songs I've ever heard but definitely enjoying the album in general.

 

I'm a sucker for squeaky clean sounds on it.

*Waits patiently for all the leaker freakz to roll up and admit that ol' jdon was on the money with the 'advance previews' *

pretty sure it was just me and joshuatx, i refined my stance to 'there's not enough evidence to know if these are real', and i stand by that . next time i'll keep your name in mind when we're discussing upcoming idmz. cheers for your dedication though!

 

I'm never gonna do bad by the watmmz, I like to think my track record speaks for itself. We cool 

 

Meanwhile, JP 'Age Of'...

 

 

Why you track 'XIIII' and not 'XIV'? And why is there no waveform for trance 1 in the predator rack?

"Everything on this record changes shape. One moment in “RayCats” Far Eastern instrumentation is being glitched beyond recognition, then suddenly it sounds like something from a relaxation tape. “Same” shimmers and twists between 20th century avant-classical, Depeche Mode at their stadium peak and pure electronic sound. “The Station” sounds like Drake or Future crooning over the bassline from a 90s grunge track, but periodically dissolves into Autechre type abstraction."

I remember not liking vocals when I was in my late teens, thank god I grew up. Here's my objective review: Album is really good and that's why I like it.

I'm not hating this but in the whole it still don't compare to 

 

 

or

 

 

imho

 

edit: the whole playfulness and randomness of it that seemed so characteristic of the music feels kinda ditched for a much more rigid song structure..  is not bad at all per se.. but what I really appreciated about his previous stuff is how little it felt like it took itself seriously and how many risks it took (while still managing to be soulful music!). that b the crux of it 4 me

 yup and yup

[manmower]

Age Of feels like a big old mess, I could like some of it but sooner or later every track does something that makes me cringe.

 

That said, I put on Replica today (my least favourite album until Garden Of Delete) and thoroughly enjoyed that, even its formerly rather annoying moments. So who knows.

i hate this album

a simple and honest review

[species8472]

vocals are fine, but are you a big fan of kanye auto tune vocals?

[hello spiral]

Well the kneejerk and reactionary pile-on of hatred towards anything autotune is extremely adolescent imo yeah

[KovalainenFanBoy]

being against autotune at this point is like being one of those guys who got mad when bob dylan started playing electric guitar

[hello spiral]

Yeah. it's that crossed with the le wrong generation "I only listen to real music like Queen, not like my peers who are all dumb and listen to Kanye and Bieber" kids

[KovalainenFanBoy]

I mean I can understand not particularly enjoying the sound of heavily autotuned vocals but being against them on some sort of principle would be silly

[Salvatorin]

the majority of this album doesn't have any vocals anyhow, dunno what people are even listening to. go listen to Raycats and chill out

[markedone]

Based on just reading watmm comments i guessed i would love this, but..

 

On first listen it left me a bit out in the cold - it has the 'aggro' elements I didnt like from garden of delete, and not enough of the weirdness i loved in r+7.  That said, i fully look forward to giving it more listens, as it could very well end up being a grower for me (as r+7 definitely was)
