Thoughts? Another Collier disaster or AOTY?

>It's like watching one of those photo-realistic painters. Yes there is skill, but no artistic substance.
brainlet. Photo realistic paintings have substance

Djesse = Jizz

That's the gayest album cover I've ever seen.

I have so much respect for this man's compositional genius, but most everything he's made (except for the song "Hideaway") bores me to tears.

Also, the "Moon River" re-arrangement reminds me way too much of Eric Whitacre.

the fact that it triggers Yea Forums to pieces indicates that it is AOTY material

threadly reminder that people shitting on Collier for his lack of substance or originality are just jealous that someone so early in their career can receive so much acclaim.

Seriously, I can smell the ressentiment on all of you. He may not have come into his own artistically speaking, but its his first release and you're all far too eager to shit all over him before he's even done anything noteworthy. You're all trash human beings with zero musical skill who for whatever reason see themselves as the vanguard of taste, and can't help but attack someone who radiates positivity, enthusiasm and love for his craft. Kill yourselves

Because he's a musical genius who makes subpar music. He has an understanding of tonality greater than the majority of composers today, but wastes his talents on choral re-arrangements of pop songs.

I didn't say you can't criticise it, I said this board uses Collier as a scapegoat for all its feelings of inadequacy and impotency. Shit on him all you like, but you'll never have his talent and success, no matter how much you try to drag him down to your pathetic level. proves my point entirely.

lmao @90047069
sorry collier but your music is shit no amount of theory knowledge will allow you to have soul

Hideaway is good. Saviour is good, too. He does more good work than what plebs following Youtube trends ever bother to listen to.

>that someone so early in their career can receive so much acclaim.
People here constantly talk about how young Beatles and Brian Wilson were when they made their masterpieces. Nobody but music theory channels cares about his guy.

He's put out three albums, your argument is invalid and childish.

kek you faggots keep parroting this same shit in literally every thread without actually backing it up with facts or solid arguments.
Collier is shit because he doesn't know a lot and he can't play that well, he also makes fucking jazz fusion.

um thats not bob dylan sweetie

Based

This is what lazy pieces of shit tell themselves so they can feel content with writing a three-chord song. You've gotta know the rules to know how to break them, so no matter how much effort you put into your anarcho-primitive freak folk record, it's not going to be anything interesting or innovative because you don't know where the boundaries are to push them. I don't like Collier's music as it is, but I'm not braindead enough to think that he isn't capable of strong songwriting. He's still in a formative process, but you're all judging him like he's an artist at the top of his game because he has a fine-tuned ear for harmony. It's the same reason for all of the reactionary hate against Black Midi on here– they're young, innately talented, but directionless, and so every pathetic user on this board starts slamming them because they're too insecure to admit that they'd like to be in that very position.

refer to
and
his music is shit and whether he knows theory or not, his music is still, at the end of the day, shit keep seething

He seems to be doing fine amongst (fusion) jazz fans though.

>doesn't know a lot
>can't play that well
His version of Moon River uses incredibly nuanced microtonal shifts, and he plays a ridiculous amount of instruments in your live performances. Nothing wrong with hating jazz fusion, but if you genuinely believe he's a bad musician you have an obligation to show that you're a better one (otherwise how else would you know?)

He doesn't have a wide knowledge. He can do his little negative harmony and microtonal niche shit well but that's about it.

>his music is shit
I literally said I don't like his music, you don't even know what point you're arguing against

And you do? the only way you could possibly know how narrow the breadth of his knowledge is is if yours was even wider. So either you're claiming to be more musically gifted than Collier, or you just like to look informed on the internet. If its the former, like I said before –prove it. post a recording of you playing something.

Of course he doesn't know. He's the one of many faggots parroting the whole "he's a genius/knows theory, but he makes shit music!!!" meme. Literally none of these retards know what they're even talking about.

>Volume 2

The only way I can say what I'm saying is that I'm either better than him which I'm not, so we can disqualify that immediately, or that I know enough to see whether somebody is good or not and that I've seen people who are much better. It's the second option.

>Another Collier disaster or AOTY?
Pretty much sums up a lot of people on Yea Forums's methods for discussing music: Either the OMG WORST THING EVAR or 100% AOTY IF U HATE UR A TOTAL PLEB

Jacob...

Zappa he is not

>My non-musician, untrained ears are qualified to judge who is the superior musician
Sorry, this is not a defensible position. Either you know enough at a technical level to make an informed judgement, or you're making an opinionated claim about who you prefer. Unless you can listen with a musician's ears (rather than those of a critic), then you simply can't make that claim.

>You need musically trained ears to tell is something is bad
Yep, smells like failed berklee student over here.

they're incredibly important for good artists to practice towards, as developing the skills to make photorealistic art is important, but the actual art itself is usually pretty bland

same with music, musicians should practice towards deep knowledge of theory and technical proficiency with their instrument, but theory wanking and shredding are ultimately boring as art

who are these lemmings that actually memorized his songs

but this guy legit makes me cringe. everything about him.

To each their own, I enjoy the autism fest that his music and his own self brings

autism man

/oursperg/ desu

He makes music for music major theatre kids, most people on here know fuck all about music and have never participated in any meaningful extracurricular activities, of course they'd hate him.

this. you cant appreciate jacob if youve never been involved in instrumental music at some capacity

I have
he sucks mongo donkey dick

What I got is that autism man makes music for autistic people. Is that correct?

I think make me cry, and then from feel into lua is all pretty tasteful and worth relistening. I didn't care for any of the other stuff though

did you play bass?

to be fair, you need a fairly high iq to appreciate negative harmony and the lydian chromatic concept. i get it if youre just not on that level yet, but once you get past the circle of 5ths youre on the right track!

no

>AOTY
hell no
>disaster
I don't know about that, he seems to be getting better. In My Room was bland as hell, Volume 1 sounded like he was dicking around, but this one actually sounds like he tried. this is his first record where he doesn't sound like a robot, and his potential is really starting to shine
still not great though, just passable. I'm eager to see if he puts out a classic soon

your reply to is confusing
If the "he" youre talking about is jacob then you two agree
if youre talking about kurt then like.... maybe youre the problem here

what is jacob missing user

humanity

music criticism that relies on voodoo juju bullshit like 'humanity' and 'soul' have to be the most pathetic kind of criticism. most of the time its spouted by talentless hacks who are only familiar with music as a consumable media (majority of this board) and not from participating in creating music. the reason you can't enjoy Collier's art is because you dropped the guitar after 2 weeks due to issues with commitment and/or depression, simple as.

this

tell me is anything other than jacking yourself off on stage to a crowd of music majors who have never actually gone out of their way to branch out and listen to new things and went to see him because they were told to
the dude has no aesthetic sense of what sounds good or what can make something sound good or what's even fucking interesting
he just does weird shit for the sake of doing weird shit long after it's already been done and it is fucking abhorrent

what is 'aesthetic sense'? can you actually define it and give some examples of artists who have it, and base it on something that isn't made up subjective nonsense?

but his music literally has no soul
it sounds as if you gave a computer the task to create "cool" music that young adults will like and thats what it produces

utterly soulless and lacking in humanity stupid berklee student

autism

literally feels > reals. 'soul' is meaningless bullshit made up by music critics who are desperate to find an immeasurable metric to judge music that they don't have the technical expertise to examine. keep making up more meaningless terms to justify your utter lack of purpose in life.

it turns out that autism doesn't speak, it sings

look jacob, youre just not good thats fine
im sure there are plenty of big band orchestras that have empty seats

>feels > reals
this but unironically. music is meant to be felt, not understood

kek

>rich privileged little english boy
>music professor mommy and daddy brought him up to be a musician
>buys him every instrument and piece of gear he could possibly need

I highly doubt jacob bought himself that double bass or piano, and that's a luxury that most people in the world don't have
Having said that I don't believe it makes his music bad
but when we start spouting out how his music has no soul, we need to define what soul actually means.
does it mean he hasn't gone through struggle? does it mean he's too happy? too bright eyed? too excited? too white? does an artist need to go through hell and back to make soulful music? and is it necessary for our appreciation of it

idk theres only a few songs of his that I do like but I feel like theres more to this stuff

I'm going to take back some of what I said in he's infinitely better here

I'm still set on that toronto performance being a goddamn abomination but this is good

i definitely wish his music was a bit more toned down like the tiny desk, there's so much going on in the records that some of the weight of his ideas don't shine through as well because they get crowded out. he's definitely someone who could learn from limitation

When you grow up you will understand that music criticism can be contained in "i like it". Absolute subjectivity is the only measure. This guy has it right

Everything Jacob Collier does in his room is either wanking off or wanking off

No matter how many times you defend him, his music will never be good.

Jacob seems like he would be a great teacher, especially for kids. He's got enthusiasm, technical ability, and is a decent communicator. Can't write an original song for shit, though. Same with all these other youtube musicians and producers. Neely, Huang, that chinese pianist, that old composer fag, even a guy like mr bill. They know their technical shit but they are creatively retarded. There was some "6 composers 1 theme" or something that features a few of them and honestly it's fucking embarrassing

Theatre kids have zero taste. They're the kind of people who listen to Glee.

Cope. Theory is descriptive and not prescriptive.

Jacob, you're going down in history, buddy. This is exceptional. You're growing as an artist - that's maybe the most exciting thing about this piece. Oh, AND the groove and that funky ass bassline. And your thoughtful arrangements and vocal harmonies. I'm so excited for you, man. There's no stopping you.

For me, he's the Mozart of our days

>Maybe I missed it, or is it like super subtle or something?
I think that was a one-off thing he did to show off, not unlike the rest of his """art""". He basically modulates to a key where the tonic is outside of 12 tone equal temperament, e.g. modulate from something non-artistic and boring to C half-sharp.

Is he just a turbo narcissist or does he feel his face should be his branding?

The fact that you're not worshipped as a revolutionary and accomplished musician frustrates me.
You are easily one of the most talented people I now know.
The vocals and arrangement stands out to me in particular.
This is just fantastic.

What's his IQ? 150+?

>150
Surely it must be something more fractional than that.

People and Yea Forums especially really only hate him for two reasons:

Jealousy: He is obviously a music savant who does what he does seemingly effortlessly. Most of us would literally kill a baby to have his chops. Personally, it's a little annoying to me that somebody so young can do what he does, all while professing that he's an autodidact who was never forced to practice. He's ten years younger than me and is ten times better than me at ten times as many instruments. Not to mention his understanding of harmony. It's hard not to feel a pang of jealousy there.

Taste/sensibilities: Collier's depth of theory knowledge and his penchant for trying to push the envelope means that the music he makes is absolutely not for mass consumption. It's weird, it's lengthy, it's dissonant, it's overly complex, it's definitely not 'easy on the ears'. This is by design - he's not trying to be an X-Factor winner or appeal to as wide an audience as possible, he's trying to do his own thing and define his own sound. His mind is so awash in things like negative harmony, and super-ultra-hyper-mega-meta-lydian scales and he so wants to apply them to his music that, unless you have a similarly high level of music theory knowledge (which relatively few do), it can be difficult to appreciate a lot of his music without first deconstructing it and putting it back together.

It's his gay faggot giraffe neck. Remember to train neck anons

this OOZES soul

His technicality is undeniable. However just because you're proficient in playing music, doesn't mean you're a necessarily good musician. That's only half of it. If you were to listen to any of his albums, you'd find that every song on there is unbelievably soulless. There's nothing to them, outside of the technicality and innovation. Read the lyrics to You and I, or Hajanga, or In the Real Early Morning, or fuck anything off his first album. They're all just soulless love songs and schlock.
He simply doesn't have the capability to write a good song. None of them are written particularly well and the selling point to his music is the innovation.
I have no doubt in my mind that Jacob Collier is an innovative musical genius. I have no doubt in my mind that his work will be the framework of future classical/jazz compositions. But I can also tell you that no one will ever look back at one of his songs and see it as anything but a stepping stone to something greater.
He will exist as a subject for music majors to geek out about. The person who'll truly be remembered will be the man who takes Colliers idea of "negative harmony" and applies something of substance to it. Something that is actually emotionally moving.

TL;DR: Stilled musicianship, soulless writer. Will be forgotten by everyone except music geeks.

It's because he plays for himself.
Collier, on the other hand, has the crowd in his mind whether he performs or not. His whole existence is driven by theory rules and an effort to appeal to an imaginary audience (and lets not kid ourselves, that audience is his helicopter mom).
He lacks soul because he lacks a self.

How is he "cutting edge"? Besides the fucking edgy cover art.

>You've gotta know the rules to know how to break them
That's the dumbest thing I've ever read. The Beatles broke all the rules and knew absolutely nothing about music theory. It's cool to know theory, people who think learning this stuff will make them worse songwriters or something are hacks. Genius pop songwriters like Townshend or John Frusciante know tons of theory.

You can teach yourself theory, dumbass.

This site would sperg at any leftist college girl talking about white male privilege but immediately resort to the same shitty populist criticism when someone they hate happens to grow up in a wealthy family.

Do you need online people to babysit you on why his composition is cutting edge? Take a music theory class, pick up an instrument, pull up the bootstrap and quit whining about more talented people.

Photo realism is pointless when you have cameras. Part of the appeal of fine art is to simulate reality, that doesn’t mean trying to fool the viewer into thinking it’s reality. Basically the goal of those artists is to escape the uncanny valley, which is fine if that’s your goal, but it’s really fucking lame if that’s your greatest achievement in the field.

Music Theory is more like a language that allows complex musical ideas to be expressed in the most short handed form possible and allows for replications.

What people miss is that back then there was a huge pressure to be a commercial success if you were lucky enough to be discovered. Jacob is just doing his own thing for fun. I know it is a very foreign mindset for you guys to like making music for the sake of music, and not as a proxy for fame and money

Also, retards, photorealistic paintings (as in near perfect replicas of a scene) is not idiosyncratic, unlike colliers work

The fact that Quincy Jones of all the cocksuckers views Collier as a friend should speak a thousand words.

it fucking sucks

I've always wondered what it's like for stevie when he was like a G deep on coke, no eyes just buzzing your tits off. If Collier had a line maybe he'd develop some soul

Stop listening Jacob Collier
Start listening to The Secret Life Of Plants

His mother is Asian

Do you have the instant kind or the cucked kind where you have to kinda feel it out a bit

Is perfect pitch when you're born knowing the names of the notes or something?

>Photo realism is pointless when you have cameras.
Yeah and theatre and opera re pointless when you have film; and then when we'll have virtual reality, movies will be pointless, right? Or perhaps real life will be pointless? That's a stupid point of view to be honest.

It's when Rick Beato kidnaps your childhood passions and makes you repeat names of notes back to him on a piano before you can walk, only to grow up and refuse to pursue music, citing video games as your passion instead

wikipedia said his maternal grandmother is chinese

Do you know how i know you are an ingorant pleb? There are threads that discuss less popular music that you have never opened. Keep jerking off to reddit:the composer turbopleb

So this is the power of autism

I would MAYBE let the left one touch my peepee

>asians are the most beau-

He idolizes Stevie Wonder so much but he completely misses the soul at the center of Stevie's music that made it so good.

>Collier says, "We sing Bach chorales together as family – it's just so much fun."
I want to stomp on his stupid face

I blame the british genes here

Video games are a feminist ploy to make men into their weakest most useless form, and it has worked.

Why would you listen to Collier when you can listen to Squid?

look at those fucking teeth
only pure british could do that to a human

What do you mean? Tell me which aspect you regard as the soul. How much of it comes from just singing like stevie for example?

Stevie is one of the most talented musicians ever, and could play like a dozen instruments at a master level. He also produced all of his own shit, but at no point in his discography could you find something that you could really describe as masturbatory or showing off. Stevie always seemed like he had something to say, or a certain feeling to express and used the music as a way to express that.
With Collier, it generally feels like he's just playing instruments really well for the sake of it. Not saying he'll never find anything worth singing about, but I haven't seen it from him yet.

even the way the hair grows out of his head is super chinese

What do people mean when they say he's a showoff? Most of the time Jacob looks like he's having the time of his life playing random shit

Why?

Sounds like a great time, what the hell is wrong with you? Are you too edgy to spend time with your family? Too filtered to like bach?

Jacob here, where did you get this?

Stevie was groomed since he was a child to be a commercial success. Jacob doesn’t have that. Maybe it would be “good for him” to be under that pressure a little bit

is the name of his album basically him saying he is a god? that is pretty ballsy and based
