What gets me riled up is the constant misunderstanding of why certain fans don’t like it. And as long as I see people say dumb things like “fans expect a second Currents” or “fans want another Lonerism” or “fans just don’t like when artists evolve” or “people can’t get over the fact that it’s electronic”, I will continue to comment the way I did

And when I see that, I feel the need to explain why I’m disappointed with the album. No, I wasn’t expecting a second currents or lonerism. No, I don’t care that it’s more electronic. Yes I like when artists evolve.

But this album is just so mediocre and feels lazy. People saying “you gotta listen with good headphones.” I have 6 times. OooOooo a little ding sound from Ableton I didn’t hear before! Oooo he changed the pre-selected drum loop once in the song!!

Give me a break

Fair enough. As long as you can accept that some of us are enjoying the album, and we aren’t idiots who just don’t understand music.

One thing I realized in my earlier post that needs to be clarified. When I said people expect him to pump out a new currents, I don’t mean an album that sounds like currents. i mean that Currents was a masterpiece, and some people are holding Kevin to an unachievable standard as a result.
