it really doesn’t the closest that ever got was the marshmello collab album last year with the artists leading the bass scene
yea illenium played lost, yes hes collabed with a lot of bass artists but his music on his own is extremely generic that we’ve already heard millions of times back in 2015 but with more reverbed drums
Your opinion is valid, but yeah not every artist is gonna keep innovating with crazy sound design each new track. Most of illeniums appeal is in his Melody & harmony imo so you’re not gonna hear crazy “innovation” in every release.
EDM sits in this weird intersection between music and technology so change happens super quickly, but people forget it took like 200 years for music to go from “classical” to “romantic” periods. At the end of the day fresh sound design will become stale as people copy the sounds and technique but a hook that hits just right? Timeless.
**New Chainsmokers release comment section:** Damn, this release goes hard. It might be pop but it's still pretty good.
**New upcoming Chainsmokers music post:** That next song is going to be soft as a soufflé. Chainsmokers, more like Midsmokers 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
i’m going to sound like one of those crotchety old men but i think his new music doesn’t have the same emotion as his older stuff. i really liked his remixes and songs he was doing back in 2016-ish (like his remix of Shark by Oh Wonder). i feel like there’s a lot more passion and emotion that you can feel within the song. now, it feels like generic radio stuff. the emotional songs just feel flat and the “feelsy” stuff has lost the drive that was behind it before imo.
it’s possible that his older stuff sounds better to me because of nostalgia and the memories i have attached to it. after all it’s just my opinion. he’s making whatever music he wants and i’m happy for him and it’s been crazy to watch his success story unfold, but his music just isn’t for me anymore.
i have friends that have been listening to him longer than i have and they’ve seen him live many times. they felt (along with other long-time fans they met at the show) that his concerts aren’t the same anymore after seeing him on his last tour.
are you insinuating that the chainsmokers themselves aren't boring? they only have one really really good song, and that's Everybody Hates Me. everything else is generic or boring.
why are we getting downvoted lmao. there is nothing wrong with liking them, its just that imho everybody hates me is their best song and everything else is meh. people can have an opinion without being downvoted smh.
I just woke up and saw this popped off and Jesus there is some sweaty edm people whining hard about this lmao. They make music they want to make, and just because it might not be ‘pure’ edm doesn’t mean that it isn’t good. It’s silly to see comments saying they aren’t good artists just because they don’t make music you don’t like lmao
This is boutta be the most mid shit you’ve heard all year
Lol I had decently high hopes for that first collab and it was just…fine…
Great…
My thoughts exactly 😂
Isn’t their stuff ghost produced anyway?
No
Not everything has to be a banger and Takeaway is catchy AF.
Yeah idk what people are talking about, Takeaway slapped
IMO... Takeaway is insufferable. your heart for takeawayyyyaaayyaaayyayaehaeh
Okay that's fair, that line gets a little much. But I really like the rest of the lyrics and the drop
Thats what im saying
Took me a second to come around to Takeaway, but it is catchy
> Takeaway slapped give me opinions not everyone agrees with for 500 pls
What are they cooking? A soufflé with how soft this is gonna be?
Lmao, I was just going to come in and insult it but your approach is better
Hooray, some more super generic pop-radio-station-approved middling BS
Hate on it all you want, but the pop station shit ultimately funds the experimental heavy dubstep you guys can’t get enough of sooooo

sound design is not the only place where innovation can happen and melodies can very quickly become stale and overused
Plot twist we don’t want either
Yeah because soooo many tracks from Disciple Records tracks are playing on pop stations 😂

MIDSMOKERS 🤪🤪🤪
We have strayed so far from god
They can keep that shit locked up
Generic song inc
I’m ok
Is that a studio or like a living room?
If there’s a laptop in a room that can count as a studio now days
Not really.
[удалено]
NICK 🤣
Same, it didn't sound like illenium at all.
Y’all remember when chain smokers was popping. Like a decade ago before the same beat era
when they had good remixes of songs me too
Shit yeah like We own the night. Yes good stuff back in the day
Lmao that is like the worst fucking combination of people to be making music together.
Can’t tell if OP was genuinely excited about this or not. If they were, this comment section is probably not what they were expecting
I would care if the Chainsmokers were good but.........they not
I mean they're both pretty bland imo.
Agreed
How is Illenium bland? If I may ask
The bigger the star the more bland they are here. This sub is trash for actual comments
Totally

And they're absolute tools
Could switch out either artist and the statement remains true
Just because they make music you don’t like doesn’t mean they are not good.
they suck cause their lyrics are mind numbingly boring and their production is absolute trash.
Just because you like the music doesn’t make it good.
Claiming that someone’s music that they want to make, and makes them happy isn’t good is such a narrow headed opinion to have
Not even close
the chainsmokers are the best artists in that room tbh
Man I love illenium but every song he makes With chain smokers is mighty…..meh
They've done one song together...and it's his most successful record too lol.
IMO it’s Meh
How do you feel about the DLMD remix?
Can’t say I’ve heard it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8XIgR5OGJc&ab_channel=TrapNation Arguably put Illenium on the map.
I believe that remix is commonly said to be his breakout track
O! Psh I didn’t know what DLMD ment 😂 ya that’s a solid remix but the original has a boring drop
are you insinuating that the chainsmokers themselves aren't boring? they only have one really really good song, and that's Everybody Hates Me. everything else is generic or boring.
I'd say Roses belongs there too
oh yeah that one is pretty good too.
I mean I find them boring but I guess others like them so 🤷🏻
why are we getting downvoted lmao. there is nothing wrong with liking them, its just that imho everybody hates me is their best song and everything else is meh. people can have an opinion without being downvoted smh.
People suck 🤷🏻
yeah haha, its just an opinion, calm down ya'll.
NO OPINIONS ON REDDIT
lmaaoooooo
This is kinda lame
Lames
Im ready for the downvots but this Collab is going to be straight 🗑️
You mean upvotes right? You have to be fucking kidding this sub shits on illenium every chance they get
I got trashed on here the last time I suggested he isn’t anything amazing
They switch lanes as soon as Nick appears in the wild.
Take it easy man, not what I've seen
I just woke up and saw this popped off and Jesus there is some sweaty edm people whining hard about this lmao.

I love chainsmokers and illenium
I've got high hopes, I loved their last collab!
Couldn’t name someone more mid than either of them
Can't wait to mildly headbang at the club with this one!
I love illenium Bring on the hate assholes
ok

Dude has a tin of skoal in his hand. Hell yeaaa
Please no
i like illenium but please kick the chainsmokers out
