Re: Does Contemporary Music Suck?
I can't relate at all to blanket statements about hating contemporary pop music. You've listened to the entirety of it? You've ensured that you've listened to each song with an open mind rather than going in knowing you're going to hate it? It's really weird.
I mean, it means already hating the new Beyonce album before even hearing it, which is completely mind-boggling.

Re: Does Contemporary Music Suck?
I don't pre-hate it, but I know I'm not her audience so I'm fine with complete disinterest.

Re: Does Contemporary Music Suck?
I've given it a few spins. I respect tight adherence to a theme, but it's a bit much to have 16 songs of 4/4 120bpm mezzoforte dance music. Lemonade was a more stylistically interesting album even if it a bit more haphazard. The dance/club theme does work well for her generally limited vocals at least.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I don't think I've actively enjoyed anything Beyonce has put out since Single Ladies.

Yeah it's a bit overlong, it could have been maybe 12 tracks instead.matedog wrote: ↑02 Aug 2022, 3:49pmI've given it a few spins.

This Bing Crosby character is just selling those mindless kids a bunch of noise. Now, Enrico Caruso, that's music.
