"Because, frankly, I think the things you are saying are stupid and contradictory. They make me think less of you as an individual. Would you rather I phrase it like that?"

thats okay. i think much less of you as an individual now too. i kinda warmed up to you a bit over some shared interests but you are pretty much the most insufferably volatile person ive ever met. you've got a chip on your shoulder the size of the entire planet and i think you need some serious help.

thinking a word's independent definition is more important than its relation to human experience is just a baffling opinion tbh. you practically deny any discussion that doesn't fit those (dumb) arbitrary parameters

As I said, I still stand by my word choice and my initial statement. I still think James Blake's melancholy comes off as completely insincere and inauthentic (read: not genuine), especially with juxtaposed with that of Antony Hegarty (whose woe comes off, to me, as genuine). Whether that is actually true or not is irrelevant, as I do not know either of them in my personal life, nor am I likely to ever know them. I can only form my opinion based on their music, which is the manner that they have chosen to communicate their melancholy. I think that is a pretty good basis for understanding an individual who is labeled as an artist; to judge them through their art, no? Thank you very much. Have a good day. I've chosen no "ill" words.



Dude, anarchy, have you read anything I've posted? Pots and the like are the ones who jumped down my throat and started spouting definitions at me, hence why I started spouting definitions back at them. Get it now, tit for tat, eh? Cry to them about your self-righteous bullshit because ranting to me about a position I don't hold isn't going to be productive for either of us.

Is suffering a new music KPI or can I still enjoy albums based on the qualities of artistic and personal merit

ok congratulations good job anthracks you finally did it! cheers! great elaboration that was fucking awesome and i agree with you now! we only had to claw it out of you for 5 pages worth of you being a baby about it but we finally got there. in the context of that, i think genuine indeed works as a word choice! thanks for clarifying how productive!

" Pots and the like are the ones who jumped down my throat and started spouting definitions at me,"

actually thats a lie. pure defensiveness again. i never jumped down your throat, just disagreed with you. im sorry if anytime someone doesnt 100% conform to your opinion it makes you feel personally assaulted. also, never spouted a definition at you a single time, the only time i mentioned a definition was to actually validate your point that if you DO look at the definition of suffering and take it as face value then you are right about your comparisons and points. you were the one that proceeded to get hung up on it.

I'm not bitching and moaning or being hyper-sensitive, I'm just providing the same type of ambiguous effort that these knucklehead lackeys of yours are providing. I treat people the way they treat me. If people like anarchistfish are going to just insult me without actually saying anything constructive, they will receive the same thing in return. If they want a constructive analysis of my opinion, they can say something worth responding to in such a fashion. Otherwise, to be frank, they aren't worth the effort.



I am an outspoken proponent of loose interpretations of words, so some idiot ranting to me on the internet about how words shouldn't be restricted to fit into a certain definition is wasting their breath. Whether I'm being sarcastic or not, it's very clear what my motives and opinions are when I'm talking on a subject. I don't accept the responsibility for any confusion regarding my opinion.

This an anohni was a dumb comparison to start with

Album Rating: 4.5

Both English. Both have heavily-electronic production. Both known for their unique vocals. Albums came out on the same day. Both, in some degree, Art Pop / Alternative R&B albums.



Why would we ever compare them on a website devoted to music criticism?
