There's nothing incredible about James Blake

[drokkr]

Hang on a second.

Are you using Youtube to listen to James Blakes music?

[WatchYourStep]

Jesus, I'll get to you in a moment! Lol yes, I was using trusty ol' youtube. I know the quality's shit but it gets the gist of a track across, you would agree?

[WatchYourStep]

I find it hard to believe James Blake die-hard fans exist when he's only released 6 tunes.

Dude, visit any of his youtube video pages, it's scary. It's almost like all the comments are from his friends.

Or him creating different accounts and just biggin himself up lol

"There's nothing incredible about James Blake..."

Says the man who says "Sweet Shop" by Dr. P is his favorite dubstep tune of all time.

Dude, YouTube comments are full of trolls. You can't base your opinion on that surely...

The gist and a load of dodge artifacts from the Youtube compression, bad rip...

How can you, on a music forum, question someones music when you have not heard it properly?

Lol Hey man, you're more than welcome to make an entire thread about how Sweet Shop is the worst tune of all time. I'll be the first to comment on it

Could be because lots of other people like him and you're just unable to recognize what he's doing?

Totally agree there, but when I love a tune on youtube, I might give it a casual comment and a good rating. These james blake fans are insane! They'll RETURN to the video weeks or months later and thumbs-up every comment that says something nice and thumbs-down every comment that says something bad. It's like a cult or something

nah, I don't care enough.

just gonna say that, as much thought as Dr. P put into Sweet Shop, James Blake puts into 5 seconds of one of his tunes.

I know what you're trying to say, believe me, but drum beats, synth notes, timing, these are what I'm referring to. I can hear those just fine in a youtube link

I do the same for miley cyrus on youtube but doesn't make me a die hard fan.

See where i'm getting at?

I hate Miley just proving a point...

This is seeming like the most likely answer at this point.

I want to say: one thing I will never do is make someone feel stupid for liking a song. If that's their tastes, all the power to them. It's just that when I saw all these disciples shouting praise for someone who I didn't really see the appeal in, I wanted to know what was so great.

I'm not sure what isn't so great about James Blake, to be honest.

If what you're saying is true, then I admire J.B. for that. I wish more people would follow his example and pour themselves into their art.

You can hear soul in every single one of his tracks.

Lol there can't be a right or wrong outcome to this discussion, that's the beauty of it.

I don't think you do.

[WatchYourStep]

I don't think you do.

When was the last time you've watched a youtube video? They're not that bad... I've fallen in love with some songs after hearing the first 5 seconds on youtube

Youtube has it high points for sure. But as a producer of electronic music Youtube sounds shocking all the time to me. I have two Youtube "videos" up with my music on them, the sound quality is terrible. I had more up, but I couldn't bare to know people were hearing my music like that. I can hear and know the difference. I own the 12" of the Jame Blake remix of Untold. The Youtube video makes a mockery of that track. Buy a James Blake 320 off Juno and listen to it properly.
I think you opinion on his music will change.
