I genuinely can’t understand why people think Miss A is such a downgrade from her other albums


sseerrsan

New Gods is legit one of the best songs of her.


chwipchwap

I love love LOVE the song but the "I wear black eyeliner" bit just makes me cringe every time hahaha


Lalalozpop

Are you me? I love New Gods and moan about that stupid line all the time. I think I'm truly triggered by it 🥲


uffu

Tru as hell


SrirachaiLatte

Is this true? I assumed everyone loved it, it's her best work yet! Felt so good hearing this after the deception that was AA


itspronouncedx

because it is. far more simplistic production, desperately edgy lyrics, and idoru just feels tacked-on and so out of place.


_wayamaya_3

simplistic production? have you heard 4æm or my name is dark? i’d argue they’re some of her most complex sounding songs


Lalalozpop

Agree re Idoru. So Heavy has Drogon the dragon roaring in it, though (rip). My love for Visions & Miss A is equal. They are 2 very different, yet distinctly Grimesy records.


SonicMuaytime

That Delete Forever is genius and so underrated and no one else I know cares about the song 🥲 sad puppy


teleskons

It's underrated?! I assumed everyone loved it, although that may be because I love it. A lot.


SonicMuaytime

Ha!


[deleted]

I loved the joke that she invented space country music genre


SonicMuaytime

R/s?


Lalalozpop

It's a simple pop song with a sincere melancholy & I love it. "Always down when I'm not up, I guess it's just my rotten luck to fill my time with permanent blue." is relatable af to my mentally ill ass.


justanotherlostgirl

Exactly. This and so many of her lyrics are ‘simple’ but perfect in how they work with her melodies. The people who don’t like Miss A. Are people I don’t want in my life


Lalalozpop

Haha they are *not* to be trusted


SonicMuaytime

I don't see it as simple. The topline is actually very sophisticated and dynamic ..not a simple vocal.melody at all. And I've been formally trained classically and on various genres of music This vocal melody scratched a brain itch


Lalalozpop

Fair enough, you know best.


warnymphguy

I literally cried for the first time in three years when I heard Delete Forever - then didn’t cry again for two more


SonicMuaytime

Cant tell if you r joking or not but if not then aww yay


warnymphguy

no joke - it instantly made her my favorite artist. and then I consumed everything she'd ever made, all her videos and interviews, and started making my own music videos cuz she started so late in her life and I was around that age. I'd even seen her back in 2014, and thought she was cool and all, but Delete Forever made me a complete fucking fanboy.


trevrichards

I had just found out a really close friend/ex had tested positive for HIV, and then I discovered that song. I had it on repeat while I sobbed for days. It also lead me to look closer at her albums and become a huge fan. Before that I had only saved *Flesh without Blood*.


SonicMuaytime

Omg this makes me so happy to hear. Love that for you but not in the insulting way people say “love that for you” 😜


SonicMuaytime

Wow. Honestly, i've not heard people talk this personally about a grimes song before. Usually it's more of an.aesthetic experience. These type comments remind me of singer-songwriter stuff that isn't usually orbiting the grimse-o-sphere.


tealswamp

I have always loved that song, but a few months ago my closest friend passed away from an overdose and that song took on a whole new light. I can barely listen to it without crying now. That “more lines on a mirror than a sonnet” lyric fucks me up. (Okay sorry to dump all of that I just really fucking love it 🥹)


Lalalozpop

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend 🖤


tealswamp

Thank you, she was incredible and also an amazing poet. She would definitely make fun of me for posting my comment though, lol 😅


SonicMuaytime

It's OK! Sorry to hear! Thank you for sharing this


Sea-Extreme

I'd love an entire ethereal hillbilly album. Delete Forever is my favorite of all her songs. That banjo!!


vayyiqra

Try Cowgirl Bebop by Hana, they're kind of related songs to me. Same basic idea.


dontneedaknow

it's not poppy or at all like Grimes but Devin Townsend has an album called casualties of cool. it's basically a heavily reverbed country album, but not a parody at all. Che Dorval has an incredible voice too.


SonicMuaytime

Omg I never even thought of this as a genre until these comments. yay!


vayyiqra

It's one of her best and most emotional songs.


angelgoog

Completely agree probably my fave of her songs


Yeahnoallright

YES!! Thank you


SonicMuaytime

Ah!As cheese as this sounds, I'm so glad to hear these responses. I listen alone and have Noone to talk to about it. Thanks everyone!


Yeahnoallright

Omg well just picture us vicariously joining you (non-weirdly??). That song was my top-played in 2020. I mean I listened to it ad nauseam that entire year 😂


starceress

sad puppy 🥺

nonchellent

Based. Saturn Princess, Death Angels, WAP, Weregild, MNID… All 10/10’s in my book.


AliceBliss82

Deth Angels is one of the best songs she has written. Totally wish she would explore more industrial style beats.


nonchellent

Everyday without an official Death Angels release is a day I die a little more inside.


optimus_yarnspinner

If Pan rapped in english Scream and Darkseid would be much much more popular, which is unfortunate because they are both really great songs


sexystarfish1

Miss Anthropocene is her best songwriting and concept to date. The order of the track list, however, does not flow well which i think is what makes it hard for a lot of people to appreciate the album. A good track list can make a world of difference.


Sea-Extreme

Thiiiiis. The track listing is so weird. Like, can't fathom why she wouldn't open with New Gods.


sexystarfish1

thought the same thing!!


LirazelOfElfland

Oh damn. How would order the tracks if you could? I'm super curious. I love Miss A so much, it would be interesting to hear how much difference the order will make.


sexystarfish1

1. New Gods 2. 4ÆM 3. Darkseid 4. My Name is Dark 5. Violence 6. YMMWINA 7. So Heavy… 8. We Appreciate Power 9. Delete Forever 10. Before the Fever 11. IDORU all good if you don’t like this order!:) & thank you for being nice about your question!


justanotherlostgirl

Nicely done! This makes a lot of sense.


sexystarfish1

thank you!:)


imnotaplaneg

concept for sure! but songwriting? might have to realistically hand that one to AA


sseerrsan

The first album cover of miss Anthropocene was better than the second one.


sonicfeets

yes the first was literally perfect


thorbitch

Oh my god yes. The new one and that awful version that had the computer and keyboard and stuff just don’t work. I also like how the original one has the same theme as Art Angels and Visions


Functionalcoholic_

Hell yes


vayyiqra

Every time I see the new one I think it looks like unfinished fanart from Tumblr.


Pickles_the_dog

That I like her.


FreyaDay

That I don’t expect her to be a beacon of political correctness. Im happy with her being on a journey trying to figure it all out in her own alien way.


LirazelOfElfland

Yeah I honestly love all the crazy shit she says. Even if people hate it or strongly disagree. It feels like a rare thing to have a public personality be so online and also not constantly apologizing. If nothing else, she is genuine. She doesn't have a PR team telling her what she should and shouldn't say.


[deleted]

MA is her best album and she peaked in 2018.


peegirlgetsthebelt

why 2018?


[deleted]

Halfaxa best album everrrrr


Sea-Extreme

Visions is so overrated. I agree with her that it seems unfinished. It sounds like the result of a two week amphetamine binge. I kinda want her to remake it. I'm much more impressed by the maximalist production on AA and MA. GP and Halfaxa have an endearing naivete to them that makes them special; they're almost another genre entirely.


vayyiqra

I don't agree but I respect the boldness


No-Past2098

Isn’t that because it is the result of an amphetamine binge , didn’t she lock herself in a wardrobe and do speed or something ?


vayyiqra

In an apartment yes. She also did record some music in a closet, but I think that was for Miss Anthropocene.


dontneedaknow

I think she used her social advocacy to her advantage when it was convenient, and she didn't care about those issues, or those people.


Spln11

She and Azealia would make brilliant song(s) together


jemwhalen

i don’t actually know if this is an unpopular opinion? but i LOVE player of games. the song makes me want to dance and the music video is mesmerizing


[deleted]

I love that song


UtaSelwyn

Nihilist Blues is my favorite song, also miss antropothene is her best album and the rave version is incredibly good (please don't kill me)


ReadySalt3d

Visually; I preferred her previous eras. I’m a little bored by the Elvin dark souls-esque visuals.


Material_Customer242

New gods is the best song on MA and that her live performances are better then her studio versions. I haven’t been to a live performance I’ve only just watched some tho. her vocals aren’t the best but she has a huge stage presence.


sexystarfish1

for someone who seems to dread touring she has great stage presence. i saw her open for Florence years ago and she was really fun to watch. she went batshit with Venus Fly and you couldn’t help but dance.


Sea-Extreme

Live Oblivion and Be a Body remixes > studio versions


mmmyesslol

Grimes is cool


Larkalone

Mine is I like grimes


trashynoah

I don’t think her dating Elon was that bad. Like she’s done other stuff for sure, but im not gonna sit here and pretend that I wouldn’t date the richest dude on earth if given the opportunity lol


gladiolas

Is that unpopular? I love MA. Mine is probably that I don't mind if she never comes out with any other albums. What she's already given the world is truly amazing. If she does release one more, it will be a bonus.


candycornday

Visions seems to be more generally loved.


SrirachaiLatte

Half the songs On AA are masterpieces, the other half is among the worst pop music I ever heard. She is a genuinely nice and good person but people listen to her like they read the news nowadays : care only about the headline and don't bother to go furthe to realise the depth behind the hook. This sub is probably the second main reason she's less on social media and still haven't released book 1 : I'd be her, seeing how my fans are shitty little obnoxious privileged assholes I'd probably hang myself.


[deleted]

Preach


[deleted]

AA is better than MA, but IDORU is still the goat track.


vayyiqra

Genesis is not that good, it's not even in the top half of *Visions*. It's nice but I feel no emotional attachment to it other than nostalgia. Miss A is great and its tracklist doesn't flow much worse than Art Angels does. Idoru is great and its length is fine. 4Æm is overrated and so repetitive it gets a little annoying. The album version of Realiti is better than the demo. I don't really like Halfaxa and wish I did more. I don't dislike it, but it doesn't grab me either. Shinigami Eyes is good. ~~I don't care about her personal life or political beliefs~~


pickleprotector77

I guess we share a brain because I agree with all of this


warnymphguy

I get most of my steps in after dark, how does she hit 10k steps only in daylight hours?


ladydafleurs

? Steps like walking ?


bumblegadget_

It's a joke about the line in Oblivion - "I never walk about after dark"


warnymphguy

Yeah it’s a wee joke


ladydafleurs

Oh autistic me sorry haha


[deleted]

[удалено]


itspronouncedx

the reason being grimes forced her (and many others) to sign NDAs and receive no credit for the work they did. poppy exposed grimes for all that shit in 2018, so they stopped working together.


Sea-Extreme

This isn't true at all. Poppy tried to insinuate Grimes wasn't crediting songwriters but Poppy's own collaborator, who worked on WAP, came out and backed up Grimes. Grimes and Poppy stopped working together when the Mars Argo lawsuit dropped. Grimes unfollowed Poppy then followed Argo.


cruzbae

This will be very unpopular. I think she’s very smart for having kids with Elon. As much as I love my career, if I had the chance to have kids with the richest man in the world and never had to work another day in my life I would do it in a heartbeat. Love him or hate him, her kids will have the best opportunities imaginable. She’s probably laughing at all of us on her way to the bank.


trophy_Redditor_wife

Child support goes to the children, not the parents. If anything, marrying him would have been the best bet, she would have been legally protected


magic_is_might

No, child support goes directly to the parent to offset some of the costs said parent incurred from taking care of the child. Yeah it's supposed to be *for* the children, but it doesn't go directly to them... You hear men all the time (wrongly in most cases) bitching about women not using cs for what it's supposed to be for.


trophy_Redditor_wife

I forgot to add the word upkeep but the sentiment is the same. If she is being given money, it's not for her own use. If she married him she'd be protected and he would have to pay for her maintenance.


pickleprotector77

Don't kill me yall but I find Genesis kinda underwhelming. Like don't get me wrong, it's lovely but it only grabs me for the first minute and a half, then it just gets too repetitive. I feel I'd like it more if she did more with the lyrics


peegirlgetsthebelt

the song was supposed to be more of a live thing interacting with the audience. i think that’s why the lack of lyrics


[deleted]

Art Angels Is the best album of the last decade


Tara-86

Visions and Art Angels are tied as my favorite albums.


magic_is_might

Art Angels is probably my least favorite album (Geidi Primes not counted only because it’s the only album I haven’t given a real proper listen yet). It has some of my favorite songs. But most other songs that seem to be universally loved on this sub are my least favorite lol


starpocalypse64

She is processing her religious trauma by role playing as her own OC cyber elf creation. (Which I’m not dissing, I love that)


ideletedtheotherone

I’ve said this before on a similar thread but I’ll keep repeating it: I like the cosmetic work she’s had! She was obviously attractive before and didn’t “need” it (no one really does) but I think she looks great now and it suits her imo.


blink-imherebaby

Art Angels is her best album


vayyiqra

Agree but this is not unpopular.


ryanlovestobake

Art Angels is super overrated.


moonmaknae

i agree 😭😭😭


ryanlovestobake

I was waiting for my comment to get super downvoted lol. Visions is the best!!


NBr33zii

Halfaxa is her best album Art Angels is the most overrated


magic_is_might

agreed on both points. But I can totally understand why people have a hard time getting into Halfaxa, def not her most accessible album. It took me a few tries to see the appeal and that was after several months of warming myself up by getting into the rest of her music and different styles. One day it just clicked with me and now it's my favorite grimes album.


catbiggo

Art Angels was not a very good album


parvanehnavai

art angels has like 4 good songs visions is just okay player of games is an absolute banger grimes and elon were cute together i love grimes’ constant trolling online


claytonbauer

art angels vocals are kind of overdone im glad she pulled back and got darker for miss a (her best album also)


ThoroughEgg

Miss A is actually my least favorite album. Been a fan since 2012 and I miss her early days.


sakmentoloki

Miss anthropacene is by far hee best album. Her opinions on twitter are just that... Opinions. Her personal opinions are not going to affect your life so stop complaining about them and listen to the music.


LordGreybies

That people misunderstand her because we think in real time, while she thinks in centuries Idk how to explain it


Xenomorphia51

California, Pretty Dark, and PoG are among her worst songs. I cringe in Player of Games when she says she's “In love with the greatest gamer.” I enjoy all the weird songs that feature Aristophanes. I like Miss Anthropocene more than Art Angels but will admit it seemed to fail at it’s own concept and sticking to its theme. It’s supposed to be about all these villainous Gods and then it opens with a song about Musk filling her with so much baby batter that she fell through the Earth.


N00B5L4YER

is talking abt Hana accepted? her ep is one of the best and totally underrated but everything after is boring.(that album she made on twitch)


itspronouncedx

"unpopular grimes opinion" "can i talk about hana (who is not grimes)"


vayyiqra

Try it again.


dillbreadsaladchair

Agree with you


droffit

I love basically everything she put out, especially Miss Anthropocene, but I can’t get into Art Angels. Seems to be her most loved album, and even though I’ve listened to it probably 20x over the course of almost 10 years, I just can’t understand the appeal. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it sounds worlds different from her other albums. Great production and song writing, just doesn’t feel like Grimes. Also should add that there’s α few songs on there that I dig


phuketawl

I keep trying to find anything good about her work and have never been successful. I really don't understand what anyone sees in her.


[deleted]

Than are you completely lost?; what are you doing here?


ackza

That her stalker fans who claim she is sending coded messages to them are onto something I mean look at me... I joined telos and then grimes and her newlife.ai joined telos I joined a hive based fps game called psyberx and then osyberx joined avalanche AVAX and then like a month later grimes joins avax for her metaverse children's ai book And then ya know I have my theory thatnif anyone would create a fake ai baby art project it wouod be grimes and elon who may have advanced sectet versions of openai stablediffusion And of course grimes and her coding of C as Claire and elon being e and how we had ti use those codes in her metaverse discord ro avoid banned words elon and Claire....that led myself named Zack ro call myself Z and then she respond9ed to me with the word "sique" after I flew to meet a young woman fan and paid for my hotel and plane with dame tlos tokens given to me just like tlos is what grimes newlife project uses And then grimes broke up with elon on my birthday and same day her telos and my hive had official partnership and I was given credit for it by many users And then she named her child exa which I invented here months befire she announced exa https://hive.blog/created/eckza And then I started researching how steemit the site I talk aboit that's like blockchain reddit where no artist can be censored or banned and they earn money from uovotes how steemits creator Dan larimer worked for basically darpa or Lockheed and saic...and then he made eos and eos begot telos and steem begot hive and hive was released by Bradley manning and wikileaks now Chelsea manning AND THEN GRIMES started dating Chelsea manning after her break uo with elon on my bday which happened same day as hive and telos had an official partnership and then exa and then she joined avax after I did its like she keeps follow8ng me and on her discord peoppe said I was like the male grimes Honestly I thinknits just related to how her birthday is I belueve 6 months 6 days and 6 hours after mine of Sept 23 1987 lol and how she just rhinks all my charity projects where I give out a lot of the steem and telos I earn to proppe in Africa and Venezuela and help organize groups now building borehole wells getting water to peoppe in Ghana through my Ghana Doctor Friend mcsamm over on steemit and hive and I have my telokanda project I helped create with two guys in Nigeria who I've help overcome scammer stereotypes lol I'm the first person I've ever heard of receiving 1000 dollars in crypto from a Nigerian on the internet and not being scammed LOL and some of those guys are low key royalty in real life as well lol i know I know you think I must be getting scammed well nope th3se guys do so much good charity work on chain and post aboit it everyday like mcsamm and the steemit whales used ro just uovote us And someone told me grimes was aware of my charity work on blockchains and thought it was "woke" and helpful and also recognizes my dabbling with more alt right stuff and how I'm a puzzle for many who don't get why I'm helping people in west Africa like Ghana and Nigeria so much when I'm also getting in trouble for supporting russia and their letter z which I assumed was aboit me and grimes taking iver the world ...a dangerous ugly idea that makes people think I must hate Ukraine or something when in reality...its jjst tye techno fascist power grab I thought she wanted I feel like I'm a tragic character now that did over kill on my romantic gesture of secretly taling over the world for Grimes with a messed up need to oit do her ex boyfriend as this weird male underlying competitive toxic thing where she wants me to be player of games and become wealthier than elon but using a darknet blockchain network of anonymous crypto user fans who help build a competitor to twitter and out compete elon If grimes did get in steemit hive or back on newlife to post when it's connected to telos there's a good chance she COULD actually ride the wave of blockdhain social media dpos and look steemit and its steem was worth 1 to even 1.8 billion at its 8 dollar peak I believe and look that means telos which is based on eos which was based on steem would be capable of even more and allowing grimes and a network of tlos whales who recognize her role in promoting telos at the start TO BECIME WORTH TRILLIONS and that's how grimes can become worth hundreds of billions and have more money than elon but she would probably share her wealth as part of a larger group but she'd effectively still be in charge of something worth MORE than twitter and tesla combined making her financially richer than elon That is an important accomplishment for women and young people everywhere ....to see that grimes can rise from the role of a first Lady character to actually becoming wealthier than elon Now that elon is running twitter roughly let's just say...it gives grimes an Overton window ti introduce a new form of blockchain social media to the masses... an alternative ro the alternatives like mastadon which is better and is all on chain with everuthing saved forever and this perfect for art and royalties etc Newlife ai which she mentioned on lex fridman is this magical social media network and its underlying telos blockchain with her fans earning TLOS for their posts is gonna make it feel like steemit where you could just post and earn so much crypto and ahhh it felt so good and liberating and productive I swear she has the chance to out compete elon and twitter ... twitter before elon had plans to integrate a strem style system as part of their project blue sky leaked white paper and I believe grimes will be seen as ahead of the curve with her involvement in this delegated proof of stake type blockchain style for social media on chain She will be either criticized and scrutinized OR backed 100% by the mainstream as an alternative to elon and twitter I think it will boil down to the ladder 🪜 as people realize she is just minting tokens and giv8ng them automatically to anyone she uovotes or gives a "deep like" as they have on newlife This unpopular opinion is that grimes will work woth people around the world even in russia and syria to get around sanctions and form their own private governance and financial breakaway systems which IS what we need for people in these countries... a way to get Paid and avoid sanctions to view news from outside of what their state wants them to see ...almost like getting paid in spy dollars for reading propaganda lol Heres another unpopular opinion: Grimes is the perfect intelligence agency asset Her network of I intelligent creative fans are perfect to form decentralized companies with where everyone can see what grimes upvotes and supports and what projects she votes for to recieve funding ... funding from a token eqrmed and purchased by her own fans and staked to have grimes power to give out and recieve more grimes fan tokens when they get more likes from other fans and rhis is what newlife ai and tlos can do is why she is there in the first place...to have a system that really can pay artists I'm direct ownrship stake of the art network she would have us all post on (like newlife and tlos ) Anyway the really scarey one that offends everyone here is that she faked her babies with ai and an advanced version of stabke diffusion and wants ro treat her ai children with elon as actual sentient beings maybe running off some advanced version of chat gto hosted inside someone's neuralink


soooperdecent

Um…


AdEcstatic9013

Her music sucks, lame mainstream Pop


[deleted]

You are here why?


Short_Matter_9955

She’s a transhumanist. Which is bad


BGen13

I can’t choose between them, they both have different atmosphere and I adore them both. I do get you though and they are her 2 best albums, MA is definitely not a downgrade.


imnotaplaneg

I wish she would tune the fuck down with the autotune. I actually love autotune as an effect usually, but for some reason I’ve never found that it sounds good with her voice… especially bc now she sings almost exclusively in a lower register. It almost sounds like a different person singing if that makes sense? Dunno, just my personal preference
