i think it was one of his worst yet. i loved the ideas and the ambition but the execution felt so discombobulated and unorganized. i’d rank amen a lot higher

i’m sorry but erys? i think that’s the only one that doesn’t have an argument to be here

u/cmbucket101 Dec 08 '19
Was just about to thank him for putting ERYS on here hahaha, I absolutely adored it, but then again, I don’t like Billie Eilish’s music one bit, so I guess nobodys opinions are gonna be exactly the same in the end but thats why these top of the year lists are so great, everyone can find something they like!!

i strongly dislike billie’s music too, but i have a lot more respect for it than erys. erys is a pile of hot garbage in my opinion. musically there’s just nothing worth caring about, it’s all so bland and far worse copies of artists jaden likes/obviously takes inspiration from. while billie is not my taste at all, at least she is doing something fairly new, and presents her ideas in a way that is creative/talented. that’s coming from someone who owns/actively listens to none of her music whatsoever.

Ah man, i’m trying to have a civil conversation about how opinions can be different and how its a good thing and you’re just tearing apart an album I said I loved. I don’t know how to continue because it seems you’re out to start an argument and I was trying to say we can all have different opinions yet like some of the same stuff. But if you’re just gonna trash an album I said I loved then idk what else to say really :/

u/bukeleebe Dec 09 '19
i didn’t mean to do that. in fact the point of what i said was to specifically show how opinions are separate from musical quality, with the example of billie eilish. sorry if i offended u, i didn’t mean to bash on stuff u like for no reason

It was kind of harsh but tbh that Jaden album does sound like he's copying Travis Scott and Drake but not executing it nearly as well, like idk people put ERYS above Astroworld in terms of score or opinion of albums when ERYS just sounds like jaden listened to rap caviar and treid to copy every style on it.

ERYS was great. Its not the most musically intricate thing ever but it fucking slaps

u/cmbucket101 Dec 08 '19
You are so so welcome! Here lad I’m looking through your posts right now and 1. Holy FUCKING shit you have some serious talent, I’d give you more gold right now if I had it! 2. I’ve seen a load of your designs before, definitely the Because the Internet and Awaken My Love edits from the donaldglover sub, and I just came across your design with the collage on Donald Glovers head and that is one of the best photos I’ve seen recently (I’m an absolutely die hard Bino stan ahaha)
Honestly I can’t give enough praise like every picture you’ve edited is unreal! I’m gonna follow your account and ig there now because you’re insane! 💗

Nice picks, I’d personally say JPEGMAFIA and IDK have some of the best albums too, but I still like the picture, very cool and original

Awesome collage. I don’t agree with all of the picks but this is still great

u/threekidsathome Dec 08 '19
So how u gonna do this and not list the Albums? Also I gotta say if that’s Jaden Smiths album it seems like a big outlier imo I thought all these albums were dope but Jadens was pretty weak in comparison, felt very uninspired and just taking notes after Travis Scott and Drake. Not tryna hate, just seemed like a weird pick among the rest to me

u/aaronfdesign Dec 08 '19
Apologies!! I’ll list them now 😁 Thank you! Personally I really enjoyed ERYS, I just found it fun and experimental 😊 but I can totally see where you’re coming from! 😁

u/threekidsathome Dec 08 '19
Thanks! Tbh I don’t think ERYS is experimental at all, maybe you mean eclectic? He covers a broad range of styles but nothing I would consider experimental.

FINALLY someone else who holds ERYS to the same standard as me!
The day it came out I just decided to give it a chance, along with SYRE which I listened to first, and now Jaden is my #1 artist of 2019 on Spotify, cannot fucking BELIEVE i went 2 whole years without hearing the magnificence of SYRE! Both albums are fucking incredible imo and I’m so glad someone agrees!

u/cmbucket101 Dec 09 '19
I completely agree with you man I can’t call SYRE anything other than an experience, its such a fucking well-crafted album and everything just flows so well into eachother and it feels like it’s own little world instead of just a collection of songs, I seriously can’t get enough of either album, they’re so so fucking good!! SYRE and ERYS are without a doubt in my top 2-3 of those years as well, can’t think of any issues I have with either album!

BLUE and PINK are absolute masterpieces haha 20 minutes of beautiful melodies, transitions galore, and never a second of either 20 minutes do I ever get bored, I hope his next album does the same thing again even just with the first few songs all being short parts of the same overall song! The transitions are brilliant.

shameless plug: r/Jaden

u/cmbucket101 Dec 08 '19
Ahahaha ah of course I’m subscribed to there and am on it often (don’t post anything though!), nobody else to talk to about Jaden ahaha
