    This was fun, and the album feels cohesive ! I remember listening to it a lot when it came out but I'd say now I only ever come back to the intro & Venus Fly who are both really the two gems of the album for me. The sound overrall sounds a lot brighter/happier than what I like best from her, it's still good, just not my favorite.

    Extremely enjoyable and rich dance tunes with lively atmosphere. I consider it the best album of 2010s. However, two songs are irritating (Kill V Maim, Venus Fly).

No digo que Grimes no pudiera tomar direcciones diferentes, pero Art Angels es meramente un camino fácil a lo básico. No tiene ese alma ni personalidad que grimes puso en sus antecesores, la mayoría de tracks son bastante olvidables y los instrumentos de cuerda son horriblemente incluidos a la fuerza, la producción aunque ya mas sofisticada y completa en comparación con sus trabajos iniciales, no tiene personalidad y cae en lo aburrido.

    Unlike all of her other records thus far, Grimes seems to finally let go and embrace the beauty of life on Art Angels.

    As a major Grimes fan, this is her best album in my opinion. Belly of the Beat is one of my favorite songs, ever. You get elements of old Grimes from Visions and Halfaxa, but this album feels like such a positive evolution for her career. I adore all of her discography, but this is by far my favorite piece of art from Grimes.

    'Art Angels' is another fun and enjoyable album by Grimes. Although the lyrics and melody may sometimes be dull, the whole album provides a dark yet sentimental and emotional atmosphere overall. Grimes' vocals continue to be spectacular, and most of the LP is well-produced and an improvement compared to its predecessor 'Visions'.

But there's a part around track 6 or 7, I'm no longer sure, where it goes: 'boom da dee da da dee da' and it's clear from that that Grimes was just mailing it in. Anyone who had been paying attention, with an eye toward producing genuine, quality music, would have had it thus: 'boom da dee da dee dee da'. Pretty shameful stuff. Gets only a 6 from me. I sincerely apologize for spoiling that track, whichever it was, for any who have yet to hear it, but I felt it necessary to make my point.… Expand

It is a bolder work than any of her earlier releases, on some tracks clearly risking the artist's existing fan-base by introducing a more radio-friendly production and songwriting style (California, Butterfly and Flesh without Blood being noteworthy examples, but also standout tracks). Having said that, the production does occasionally fall short, with a sometimes uneven bottom end. This is a minor gripe, however, given the overall strength of the songwriting and sonic richness that prevails throughout. Drawing stylistically on electronic pop stalwarts like Gwen Stefani, Goldfrapp and Pink, but also more esoteric influences, some of which will be familiar from the 4AD stable, this album demands an open mind, but rewards it.… Expand

Not only did Grimes surpass her own level of writing/composing music, I genuinely believe she's pushed music a level higher in general. I don't even participate in the vampire/goth/punk scene, but this track is so good that I knew as soon as I watched the music video the first time I had to buy this album.

    I'm excited to see what Grimes does in the future, and investigate her music further. Overall, this album is solid, but not "perfect" in the sense that the album as a whole is groundbreaking. There are tracks that definitely are though. If you're questioning whether or not you like Grimes, watch Kill vs Maim, and if you love it than get the album!    … Expand

    The reviews for this album are INSANE. I've been listening to Grimes since her demo and this album is her worst yet. Half the tracks are throwaways. The ones that do have hooks pale in comparison to Visions and are much more commercial/mainstream. Buy a couple tracks in iTunes and be done with it. This big fan is really disappointed in this album.

    This is probably the best "pop" album that's been released. The entire album will make you feel and burst of energy that you never knew you had. Songs like "kill v. Maim" prove that Grimes is one of the most unique artist around. Even the two reprise/intro are amazing. Every song goes together without going to far and sounding the same.

    I really liked Visions, but this is an undecided move. Whatever made her last album so wonderful, its spaciness, odd hooks, and atmosphere, has been replaced with amateur hour theatrics and a lot of squirelly warbling. It's just bad. She's a unique musician, but she should get a good producer if she wants to come any further.

    I think that at the end of "Visions" there were two paths Grimes could take with her music. She could advance her use of arpeggiators and other electronic textures and continue to exist in the vein of indie pop, or she could create more accessible tracks that would appeal to a wider more mainstream audience.

Art Angels is a really good album, just not for me and not in the direction I wanted it to go.… Expand

    Another solid release by Grimes. I've been listening to it all month and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite albums. Claire really flexes her talents with Art angels, every track on here is her own creation and it's great work from start to end. Best album of 2015.

    Yeah, its a pretty average album. I mean, if anything this is basically just a so-so pop album with a few nice catchy hooks and some kinda nice beats. But like AOTY materiel, nah. Its definitely got some catchy songs on it but it ain't nothing special. I can only really remember abut 2 or 3 tracks from this thing. So yeah, i mean if u liked it u liked it, but not me.

Let me just say this: I'd give Visions around the same rating as I give this album, with the only difference being that Visions had some very beautiful and magnetizing tracks, special with a unique sound and voice - despite being very few and far between.

    Art Angels was different to me in that I'd put none of these tracks in that boat, that being said, a majority of them are "good," and worth listening to more than once. The interviews I've read where she discusses this album have led me toward a feeling of murkiness. She cites her feeling of empowerment from deliverance of fear as the reason for why her lyrics are more intelligible, however, are they even worth being heard this time around?

    She explains that she now feels she has something to say, but she is simply speaking through self-proclaimed alter-egos.

    She also mentioned one of the worst songs on the album being "sonically uncool" on purpose.

    I have to wonder why someone with such power/control over their image would waste an opportunity to make and release something reflective of their abilities, intentionally "uncool" (or in this case bad.)

    Overall, my main gripe with this album is the gimicks detract from her ability, I believe, to be viewed seriously, especially now that it's obvious that she doesn't really give a darn about making music that is good, and is just trolling people.

    On a more illogical note: her voice became extremely annoying in this album. Sounds like a chipmunk half the time, and she over enunciates a lot of words that she normally does not, which I felt like removed me from the listening experience.    … Expand

    Before I start, let it be known that I am new to Grimes.

    So I heard Flesh without Blood while browsing through Youtube and was impressed, so I decided to check out the rest of the album. I was not disappointed.

The unapologetic swagger she presents herself with is amiable, as    Before I start, let it be known that I am new to Grimes.

    So I heard Flesh without Blood while browsing through Youtube and was impressed, so I decided to check out the rest of the album. I was not disappointed. Grimes' free and unrestricted style is a breath of fresh air in a world full of tight, over-controlled music. The unapologetic swagger she presents herself with is amiable, as you can tell she is just creating what she feels, not conforming to any standard. Being someone who likes to know the lyrics to what I'm hearing, I was a bit put off, but I guess that's sort of part of the journey, filling in the blanks yourself.

    There are many shining tracks on the album, but Flesh without Blood(a big F U to anyone who would diss the new style), Kill V. Maim(very catchy abstract tune), and REALiTi(basically about seeing the beauty in life) are the real gems here, while California and Art Angels fall short(as well as Scream in my opinion just because I have no idea what's being said.)

    All in all, Art Angels is a very solid album that personally made me think about certain things differently. My favorite lyric is from the closing track, Butterfly: "Why are you looking for a harmony? There is harmony in everything."

    After going through Art Angels, I decided to listen to her previous album "Visions", and I can't say anything other than she has evolved completely from what she was in that album. I can barely bring myself to listen to "Visions", but Grimes knocked this one out of the park with it's entirely different, optimistic style with a sense of purpose. Definitely do not judge an album by it's cover.

    I recommend the album to anyone who's into Dance, Electronic, Indie Pop, or anything really. It's worth a listen.

    PS. While it's still averaging a 3.5/5, You would not believe the flak this album is getting on Sputnik Music. I don't know what it is about that site, but the reviews never align with Metacritic. Visions is rated higher than Art Angels, which brings up a big red flag for me.    … Expand

    WOW! What an interesting style! Incredibly simple melodic hooks with a ton of depth. Metacritic lists the genre as Indie rock, yet Google Music lists it as Dance / Electronic. They are both right and both wrong. Very rarely there is a musician who creates accessible pop music, but is actually an artist. Robyn is a good example of this... Grimes is another. Love it.

    "Art Angels" is an outstanding album about an artist that make music for herself. From the critical lyrics of "Flesh without Blood" to the deep emotions of "World princess part ii", everything is about knowing the true Claire Boucher of Vancouver. It's a self-portrait of an artist that saw your fans turning their backs over her when she released a song (and yes, I'm talking about "Go") that was unusual to her repertory.
    Although it may sound a little selfish, it is the pure truth. I don't know if every song in the record is about her but does it really matter? We all have feelings described in at least one song. "Art Angels" captured the elementary things of being human: the flaws, the desires and the thoughts. However, it's a real pop album. Musics are catchy and are really easy to listen. It's weird of course, after all we're still talking about Grimes. Maybe that is why after all these years of pop culture being just pop, the album still so unprecedented.
    This is what dark and beautiful should be. This is what I want to hear from the new "pop" artists. This is evolution, creativity and pop. The references are there, a great artwork is there, Grimes is there; wrap it all up and this is Art Angels. An album of a truly D.I.Y. artist.    … Expand

    Least Favourite Songs: World Princess Part II, Artangels
    I'm struggling to understand why this is already one of the highest user reviewed albums of this year on metacritic, with mainly 9s & 10s out of 10. Sure it's good but it's not a **** masterpiece- if I really hated the **** like I did on the first couple of listens it would be very easy to rip into it. Luckily I like it. The album opens up with my favourite track 'Laughing and Not Being Normal'. Putting aside the highly relatable title, it's a great orchestral opener; the only problem being its short length. Weirdly this intro doesn't really introduce the album that well at all- an album full of sweet k-pop like melodies and standard electro-pop production. Now that doesn't sound all too promising, especially since a lot of artists have been jumping on that nostalgic electro-pop/synth-pop wave recently to little effect but it's alright on this record. I mean the production definitely isn't better than the production a lot of these artists have, in fact it's the main thing that puts me off the album at points, but some of her melodies are just unbelievably catchy and her lyrics still have enough edge to let you know this isn't Grimes cashing in and going full on mainstream. Even when I was going through a period of hating the album songs were getting stuck in my head. I'm glad I didn't leave this alone after the first listen it really took a lot more to unwrap in my opinion which is strange considering people are calling it her most accessible work to date. Maybe it is and I'm just a retard.

    Grimes acertou em cheio, o álbum é consistente, coerente e possui uma boa produção synthpop. Claire nos trouxe um álbum completamente viciante e certamente um dos melhores álbuns de 2015. Destaques: Kill V. Maim / Venus Fly / Life in a Vivid Dream / Flesh Without Blood

    Crackling with radio-primed hooks, whipsnap breakbeats and Boucher’s helium-pitched vocals, Grimes’ third album makes a convincing strike for playlist ubiquity, with a healthy dollop of the oddball chucked in.

    You can sense the deceptively complex Art Angels will only continue to yield further depths with time. [Jan 2016, p.76]
