I just read this review, really nice stuff.
This whole idea, by the way, is such a fucking good point:
the players and quality involved are what the audience should expect in 2013 from an LP with financial backing.
More pop albums should sound like this, they cost enough money.

great review, but i think people are overestimating how 'revolutionary' this is. i somewhat agree that a lot of casual music listeners will hear it and think it's breaking ground, but then a lot of people who don't purchase albums and just listen to the radio edits won't be privy to the song lengths. it's definitely a push in the right direction for mainstream pop, but i think that if people are going to call this a 'breakthrough' or what have you, it's likely because of how atypical it is in the mainstream spectrum

"It's a testament to the tenets of capitalism that competition breeds innovation, and for years these big labels had none. So hats off to the recent, upstart independent label innovators, for without them The 20/20 Experience would not exist."
The same tenets of capitalism allowed the fall of pop music to the abyss it finds itself into. What is generic & easy to comprehend, when challenged by nothing, people turn to it to get their minds off the hard day at work. Those who represented the genre have now moved into fields that make them more appealing to the very indie artists you allude to. Indeed, the credit must go to the independent label who've pushed against that dumbing down, in spite of being ignored by the majors who rather keep to the path they're on.

Back on topic, this wall well written, and i agree that this is a great piece right here. Will buy the Deluxe Edition, along w/ that Woodkid LP.

gyro - yes it breaks major ground for a major label/ mainstream release basically
wine - thanks! happy to help any time
cpi - yes dumb pop absolutely feeds on the mentality of the people. i really think if pop/mainstream music challenged people more, society would benefit so much. music education has been proven to make kids smarter and more well-rounded time and time again - i really wish this continued into adulthood through records like this.

This album is quite good, but I don't see the genius in it that everyone else does. I'm not done giving this a chance, but right now it resides in the 3-3.5 territory. And I've always been a mainstream whore.
