Was watching underscores' production breakdown of U-B side when I found this guy in the comments. If you're seeing this, hi Alnev!👋 This some good music! You really shine at your most vulnerable. I Especially enjoyed the final two tracks. I would've loved to hear more ambiance and creative production to set the tone and sonically set you apart from other indie artists. Really catchy and interesting melodies, really good production with especially the piano sounding super ... read more
If Jacob Collier was minimalist and had other emotions than eternal bliss og curiosity.
minimalistic dystopian synth pop. There are some moments where I feel like it suffers from poor song writing (like why he saying oh me oh my so much)
Fav track: Holiday
I was debating whether to give this 60 or 70 but I decided to be nice today.
Tis a good album, but not much more than that. I find the song writing and structuring a bit boring or cliche at times especially when the instrumentals follow the tried and true formula of big concert drums, bass guitar, rhythm guitar and lead guitar.
Fav tracks: Romanticise This, Don't Blame Me
My ears are bleeding.
Worst imagine dragons song ever... That says a lot.
They're not even trying at this point.
I used to like this band.. What happened??
My expectations: This song is probably not going to be so good
Reality: This song is not not so good. ITS ABOSUTLY HORRENDOUS!
Brendon Urie is a great singer, but you can tell that a lot of the vocal takes are sloppy and unprecise. The rest of the instrumentation sounds fine and I actually really like the overall soundscape.

This album is really cool and it definitely deserves more attention. (Also shoutout to my teacher who produced this!)

On GaminGrandpa's review of Jacob Collier - Djesse (Vol. 3)
"You don't get it and no one will the way its intended, except Jacob Collier himself. He didn't make this album for you or me only himself. That's how I see it and its fine if you don't like this album. I'm not trying to change that but I do think that there's some truth in: "no no ACTUALLY you don't get it". And that's why you and many others dislike Jacob Colliers work. (because you get it in your own way not the way its intended. If that makes sense)"
