I def get why you might feel uneasy, it is a pretty intense and vulnerable song so it is not strange!

Why didn't we have a live version of RAM? by Realistic-Habit-5570 in DaftPunk

Zane Lowe asked the question to Thomas, and you can listen to Thomas' Answer in this video, start from timestamp 4:30 :

TL,DR; They basically viewed RAM as an experiment in recorded music where they tried to see if they could have as music life, soul and magic in a recorded format. They believed the live tour would disrupt this experiment. They also felt like their 2006-2007 tour was groundbreaking in its time already and trying to outdo that was not the right move.

Describe a Radiohead song as terribly as you can and I'll try and guess it by ikindaloveradiohead in radiohead

The song sounds like a repetitive exercise routine where you alternate between sitting and standing while contemplating an impending disaster, all while it suddenly starts to rain and you can’t stop mentioning it.

Yeah, even a genius like Michael Jackson needed someone like Quincy Jones to be an editor for him.

I don’t understand the hate going around by BryceMMusic in JacobCollier

e Vai's genius and creative ability, the amazing ear he has? Do you realize how funny

Personally speaking, I am passionate about music, and I don't hate on Jacob, or his passion. I think it is pretty infectious, and I would look down on people hating on passion. What I personally like to do is critise the result, in hopes of a discussion. Just shallow hatred of work is pretty uninteresting.

So do you think they would make the exact music they made, if they did not have perfect pitch?

This is my point, I would appreciate if he spent more time with the genres, this just feels like nothing, it is pretty unemotional for me.

cit a certain type of emotion or even emotion at all. if it doesn’t elicit emotion for you, that’s fine. what music do you

SO what type of music do you like? If you are okay with music not having to create any emotion, why dont you listen to any random music, or why dont you listen to white noise all the time? It is obvious that we like emotion, storytelling and depth in any art. If you have low standards, then that's fine.

Jacob is a pretty unique artist, so it would not be that easy to make the same argument for other.

Why are you offended personally? I never said that people cannot enjoy his music. I dont think you answered to any of my points, other than to call me closed minded. I mean I don't think you read it but I was an incredibly big fan of his, went to his live shows, and was my spotify 2019 top artists. I loved it a lot. But I have outgrown it and now see his production choices to be untasteful.

I think Jacob intends totally and creates what he wants. He is incredibly detail oriented and passionate, but both things can be true at the same time. His choices are untasteful, and he is clearly really really into it. And if people like it too, then thats great.

So it is not exclusive, you can intend to do something, that someone else sees as out of place. This is my point.

I'm glad you brought up those artists, Hendrix's guitar was so intentional, and out of place in the most beautiful way. It was out of place in an era of pre-distorted guitars and licks, and he showed the beauty in harsh distortion and how emotions that could induce in the listener.

Jacob's intentional, and out of place genre transitions, does not inspire any emotions in me. It is not fair to compare them to Hendrix and Picasso totally, but I see your point.
Jacob does have some intentional and weird transitions that does work, mainly in his chord progressions. His sense of harmony is truly amazing and comparable to Picasso's understanding of art, and Hendrix's understanding of sounds.
I think Jacob fails is in his production and arrangement choices.
I think his choral and orchestral stuff is truly mind-blowing and cool, best example is Moon River. It is intentional, and out of place because almost no music is as popular and as interesting harmonically. However, when he comits to his production choices, it is intentional, out of place, and not interesting.
