I guess at least she’s not pretending to be like a feminist icon anymore

i used to think i loved grimes' music, because it was incessantly shilled on /mu/ when i was impressionable, but then she released a steaming pile of art angels, and i woke up from the trance

Production is great ofc, would've liked something darker with the G illangelo but it's nice. She needs to start releasing some of her music she's hoarding

Lyrics are whatever at this point. Rapper sings about drugs, grimes sings about windows xp. Cool whatever

It’s actually impressive that she was able to alienate her fanbase so quickly and firmly after art angels that not a single person cares about new grimes music just one album later

Elon killed Grimes and now her music is made by AI. That's my theory after listening

I see why Grimes bothers people but I love the song, it's catchy af. Super cool concept which is dark, dystopian & disturbing, contrasted by the sickly sweet sound of the track. Its strong melodically & exceptionally produced

If this was released by say, Caroline Polachek, Charli, A.G. Cook, Yeule or Magdalena Bay its score would be at least twice as high. Which is not saying much, that'd only be 3.26. I could even see Bladee or Ecco releasing a similar track.

Cmon, these lyrics are dope. Black Mirror vibes

about half of miss anthro is pretty good and the rest is mediocre

this wouldnt be an issue had every track she released since then not been dogshit but w/e i doubt anyone is that hyped for new grimes these days anyway

Hype, I usually am in your corner on most of your takes but this one ain't it tbh.

"only one that can pull it off is Poppy and its cause she got mad chops for catchy tunes"
And an actual vocal range to do shit with.

But Poppy tbh is also leagues better than Grimes. And not an annoying pseudo-intellectual rich person.

"Poppy tbh is also leagues better than Grimes"

Not even on Poppy's best day and Grimes' worst.

As for the song, it has a lot of good elements, and it's fun. I have lost a fair amount of confidence in her as an artist since MA, and find her persona a little insufferable now, but this does not deserve the hate.

I like the chord progressions (is that what they're called? I'm not a muso) in the verses, I like the dueling vocals and synths in the verses, and the last 50 seconds is lush. Less keen on the vocal effects in the chorus.

The verses are the worst part! Horrid ostentatiously-slick synth tones and vox/lyrics sound outright first draft tier. She sounds completely high on her own supply.

Well I enjoy it anyway - verses do it for me. I guess it's safe to say it's not going to be on your Best of 2023 list when you eventually get to it Kompys...

If Grimes outcharts Morgan Wallen I will put her on my list out of sheer respect, hand to God.

gotta be honest tho, in this day and age, there are far better acts than grimes in the same space

Oblivion is one of my fav songs of all time. This is one of the worst i've heard. Can't believe this is the same artist. Boring, corny, overtuned vocals. I only like the artwork.
