Some of us just enjoy the music and don't have to intellectualize it. It sounds good to us therefore we like it. It's as simple as that.

I do not make music, I do not know anything about samplers, but I do listen to classical music, and I can tell he didn't do anything special, and just put in gay drill beats (which I hate like 90% of the time)

I like music, I don't sit their "intellectualising" it, but if I just hear a sad man banging away trying to make something deliberatly awkward and shit because he thinks that's what difficult and interesting artists do, with all the charm and ability of a turd, please don't expect me to laud upon him tributes or cash for his records.

couldn't agree more!
you either like his stuff or you don't - as simple as that.
i personally can't get why there's so much irony and even bitterness towards Snares.
some of you guys REALLY sound as if you're just a bit too jealous of Aaron making a living doing what he enjoys! :P

"you either like his stuff or you don't - as simple as that."
true as this may be, it's still a messageboard devoted to electronic music. it can't hurt to get a bit more specific now and then.

dob_belch dude.
he may actually have "matured" this time, as opposed to all those other times.
listen to the damn album, it's fucking great. one of the highlights "Senki Dala" is so emotional and filled with atmosphere it just doesnt get any better.
calling him all those things you just did when he has created this album is nothing but ignorant.

i like music, i like snares music because it has its moments, i dont think its all that or anything, but at the right moment in the right setting, its good. when i am trying to wake up in the morning, or when i want to listen loud - i really enjoy this stuff. now, that being said there are some tracks, and entire releases that have a shelf life in my cd player of about a week. but thats why i like it, because he releases a lot, and because sometimes he farts about and doesnt take himself seriously - when he take himself seriously, a la belly of the snake, huge chrome and this new one, i view him as any other electronic artist - i take it for what it is.

aahaaaaa, no man i don't think he's astrid... :p look at his posts or the topics he create.
anyway i'm not a fanbwoi of snares' music, but there are many songs i really like, he's got skills, enough variety, he releases too much to have a real quality control but as long as people like his stuff there's no need to be all hate on him...
i saw him live, a wonderfull night that ended with hellfish/producer (seriously the µ roster isn't THAT full of shit...), and, man, if you like to dance you must see him once live, it's just nuts!
if it's not too loud and full of those high-frequency sounds he loves it's a magic moment full of energy and incomprehension, just let loose of yourself and enjoy!

dog_belch is officially the most bitter man on xltronic.
All I can say is:
Just because your teenage years are ancient history, don't act as if feelings of angst are by any means irrelevent or unnecessary. Okay, so punk kids out there are pretty fucking annoying acting hardcore, but I can safely say as someone who has enjoyed Snares' stuff for about two years, I AM NOT ONE OF THEM.
Admittedly, during my times of high praise for Snares, I was going through some emotionally testing times. So is there any harm then, really, in sticking on some loud, harsh music to cleanse the mind? Fuck no. And I wasn't wearing any hoodies at the time. I don't regret what I did at all. What is the difference between this phase and the mid-life crisis awaiting you us all? I find it funny that you mention that there is no 'artistic merit' when surely art is expressing one's self, and what is expressed here is aggression. Unfocused or not. Who gives a shit?
Snares is not a genius. His last few releases have been dire. But I can still enjoy his past stuff, it's good, and I never take it as seriously as you seem to be doing. It's light entertainment.
"i don't care what some spoilt 30 year old going on 15 fucking troll playing a Canadian's idea of what drum and bass is going to play"
Then ignore him.

this album is fucking terrible. utter garbage , and im a snares fan.
the melodies are shite and soulless. the melodies and beats on HCCBU were 1000 times better. and actually had soul and emotion. what a great album that was , this one is a pure dissapointment. fuck those saying his last albums were dire. yeah this one is dire , but hccbu is snares swan song.

I mean it's nice and all that he discovered Shostakovich. Everyone needs some exposure to the classics. All over the world people will listen to this and say, "isn't that from a Hitchcock movie?"

how bland would this place be if we all had the same opinions on music - i say if we disagree this is a good thing. id rather know that im talking to someone who thinks and formulates their own opinions, instead of some mindless dildo that thinks it cool to like some artist because he writes mindless dildo music.

songs about my cats doll doll doll a giant alien force winter in the belly of a snake

I'm sure i've said something along these lines before, but i honestly don't feel much either way for snares. I went through a phase of listening to find candace a fair bit, but he kind of leaves me cold.
I've never understood the whole "emotional element" that some people seem to find in his stuff, personally i can't hear anything deeper than a load of chopped up breaks over a few rehashed synth lines and a shitload of effects. Which is alright if you like that sort of thing, but it doesn't really do much for me. There's a few tracks i'll listen to and enjoy (especially "aaron"), but yeah. I dunno. I've got no motivation to seek out this new one anyway.
He's very good live if you're borderline alcohol-poisoned though.
