Oasis, the Pixies, kd lang, Modest Mouse, Supergrass and more released albums ... and guess who won record AND song of the year? Shawn Colvin. Will Smith won best rap performance for Men in Black.

However, Jacob was (still is?) an acquired taste because of how his insane musicianship can be somewhat overwhelming and I get why people, sometimes including myself, don't get hyped over songs with a billion microtonal voice tracks. But this year he did make really fun tunes, while staying true to his craft, features helping a lot. Also Anthony doesn't shine the most when it comes to jazz related stuff.

[@jules6731]

@@idontknowanymore9966 Columbia/Sony are just distributors. BTS aren’t signed as artists under them. That’s why they don’t get playlisting and radio support. Dynamite was an anomaly. I think Columbia was probably trying to show BTS what they could achieve if they gave Columbia a bigger cut. At that point they have to choose: keep their money or pay Columbia to get a more mainstream push. No idea what they’ll choose but seeing that the new album is receiving no support at all, probably the first option.

Melon is a decent bassist

[@diavalitemusic]

​@@wadsmitter511 Melon has a hobby. Jacob is a professional on bass among other instruments that he has complete control over. People would actually have to study music theory for at least 5 years to start understanding what this guy is doing to music. He is the Mozart, Bach, Beethoven of our times. Melon just doesn't have the knowledge and facility to be able to critique him correctly.

[@wadsmitter511]

@@diavalitemusic I completely agree that Jacob is a once in a hundred-years kinda guy, and has incredible amounts of potential! We're talking really insane amounts of music and progression to be made through Jacob. However, when it all comes down to it, music is just emotional expression and impression with sound as the medium. Theory and knowledge are incredibly useful tools to achieve a certain sound, and Jacob probably has the most developed musical knowledge in the world right now, but theory and knowledge are not ends when it comes to music, just means. The end is music/sound, and if something sounds bad, it does not matter what theory or technique created it. I'm not saying that complex and technical music is worse, in fact i tend to prefer music that challenges the listener, and think that technique and complexity opens an infinite number of doors when it comes to expressing emotion through music. But again, they are only means to an end. What i'm trying to say is that, if Melon does not like the way that Jacob's music *sounds* , then no amount of theory would compensate for that, since it is not the end goal.

[@diavalitemusic]

@@wadsmitter511 yes of course, i fully agree with what you just wrote. theory is just a tool.
