00:00 - 00:03 | The album was released on November 6th. |
00:04 - 00:05 | Fritz downloaded it immediatley, |
00:05 - 00:07 | Helga half an hour later, having battled with a dodgy wifi connection. |
00:08 - 00:12 | Gueter listened to it through the night so as he may articulate a review, |
00:12 - 00:15 | and I have only just given it my first listen under an hour ago. |
00:17 - 00:19 | Your collective enthusiasm sounds promising. |
00:19 - 00:21 | I assume that Flesh Without Blood was an anomaly on an otherwise perfect record. |
00:24 - 00:26 | Mein fuhrer... |
00:27 - 00:28 | Flesh... |
00:31 - 00:33 | Flesh Withouth Blood is actually very indicative as to the sound of the record. |
00:34 - 00:36 | It's a full-on pop record. |
00:53 - 00:58 | Any Grimes fan who genuinely enjoyed this record from beginning to middle and end, leave now. |
01:13 - 01:15 | What the fuck has she done!? |
01:15 - 01:17 | I've waited 3 fucking years for this album! |
01:18 - 01:23 | Visions was a masterpiece of understated nocturnal melancholia! |
01:25 - 01:28 | That fucking bitch... |
01:29 - 01:31 | Tormenting the fans that enabled her to betray them. |
01:31 - 01:34 | If it wasn't for their support she wouldn't have had the money to do this album in the first place. |
01:34 - 01:37 | I listen to Grimes to get away from this commercial pop bullshit |
01:37 - 01:40 | "Flesh" sounds like Charli XCX on a mixture of sherbet and happy pills! |
01:40 - 01:42 | Mein Fuhrer, I think she should be commended for doing what she believes in |
01:42 - 01:46 | She believes in shit! She thinks Justin Biebers "Believe" is a good song! |
01:46 - 01:48 | Mein Fuhrer, her taste is different to yours |
01:48 - 01:52 | She also listens to Swans! Why didn't she take inspiration from them instead!? |
01:53 - 01:54 | This is fucking mental! |
01:56 - 01:57 | At first, I thought I could put up with one pop song |
01:57 - 02:00 | But no, then she decides to do six more of them, and six more |
02:00 - 02:03 | until she finally releases an Avril Lavigne album. |
02:04 - 02:08 | I could blow my fucking brains out! |
02:08 - 02:13 | Those idiot supporters waxing lyrical on her YouTube comments should be hung upside down |
02:14 - 02:16 | until they vomit beautifully into their multi-coloured hair |
02:17 - 02:21 | I'm through with this woman, her "alternative" pop music and her LIES! |
02:27 - 02:29 | Maybe, over time, I could learn to accept it. |
02:30 - 02:34 | Perhaps repeat listens might unveil some hidden gems |
02:34 - 02:36 | The glory of Oblivion... |
02:41 - 02:42 | ...or the subtle magic of Skin. |
02:43 - 02:47 | I just wish she would do an album that sounded like Grimes!! |
02:48 - 02:53 | Why did she have to pursue this god-awful direction? |
02:54 - 02:56 | I suppose the hipsters are all over this bullshit: |
02:56 - 02:59 | "Oh, it's COOL to like pop" |
03:00 - 03:02 | it sounds like a teenagers first attempt at writing a song! |
03:04 - 03:07 | It's ok, he hasn't given it a proper chance yet. |
03:14 - 03:16 | Maybe it was wrong of me to think she should bow to audience expectations. |
03:19 - 03:23 | She is an artist, after all, and a headstrong one at that. |
03:25 - 03:26 | Oh well. |
03:31 - 03:33 | Perhaps, as the song says, I should just let her go. |
03:40 - 03:46 | She isn't occupying the same creative space any more, and I seriously doubt she ever will. |
03:46 - 03:49 | She's moved on. Into the mainstream. |
03:53 - 03:56 | I'll miss her. |
