Oneohtrix Point Never - Age Of

[drillkicker]

Garden of Delete was a supreme stinker.  This one is a step up from that but still, I just can’t listen to it all the way through.  It has moments where he demonstrates how cool his music could be if he could just stick to a clear artistic vision.  Overall, it sounds to me like the kind of stuff I make when I can’t decide where I want a track to go so I just keep adding completely conflicting elements and end up with an obfuscated mess that nobody can make sense of (which is the same feeling R+7 gives me).  Black Snow is the only track that I really like.

 

It seems like Daniel has been searching for a way forward from Replica for the past nine years and is still struggling.  I can’t really blame him since Replica was such a conceptual landmark, but he’s setting the bar too high for himself and I wish he would just calm down and just make what feels natural.  BOC have been suffering from a similar problem in the past decade.

Édit: Actually Last Known Image of a Song is probably the coolest track on the album.  I forgot about that one.

Hard disagree. Not my favorite from him, but tracks like manifold, raycats, the title track, and Toys 2 are amazing. I think it might be a bit under appreciated tbh.

GoD > Age Of > R+7

Soz pal. I still like R+7, just not as much as the others, esp. GoD. That's prob my favourite OPN ever.

Must replay Garden of Delete, because I thought that was quite terrible and OPN is too good to have 'quite terrible' in his repertoire. Replica has really grown on me the last year or so.

Ah I love GoD

It definitely doesn't sound like anything else in his discography tho, that's for damn sure

What's his best album so I can check it out? And also one that sounds a lot like his sound? I've heard very little.

Mentioned this in another thread - this shazams as "tales from the trash stratum" which is the same name as this sunset corp playlist

Probably due a new thread really, but new track Long Road Home premiered on Six Music tonight, sounds like a dreamier version of Age Of without all the GoD-style sounds in there. New album called Magic Oneohtrix Point Never?

There's another thread going on for this album, not sure why it was created in Music Discussion instead of New Releases.
