Whenever I hear 'These Days' it's a sad reminder about what's happened to Rudimental - they were so fresh when they first emerged and alongside Disclosure defined British commercial dance music in that period. Especially when 'Feel The Love' came out of nowhere and became one of the biggest songs of the year. Now they are releasing safe pop music (the Ed Sheeran collab to save the second album was the turning point I think).

I agree. Not Giving In & Waiting All Night were really good as well.

I disagree, These Days is up there with their previous hits. Bland and safe, yes but the public loves it. Its being sold and streamed

 

It's a huge hit without Drake in equation

I'm glad Rudimental have moved away from drum & bass as I got incredibly tired of that sound, it felt exceptionally samey. However, after quite enjoying Lay It All On Me, they've moved into pure blandness so far with this era. These Days is pretty much the definition of average for me.

I actually quite liked their previous track, Sun Comes Up- though I wish they could've had someone other than James Arthur on the vocals, never been much of a fan of him tbh

Why does everyone here seem to dislike or not care for These Days now anyway. It's brilliant and just as good as Feel the Love which they could never recreate so why try?

 

It was a multichart number one so there must be more fans hiding.

I like These Days tbh.

I mean it's worth mentioning that Rudimental's best position on my chart is #25 for Bloodstream (and even then I prefer the original album version), I'm not really here for them most of the time. Many better dance acts out there!

That's like saying people must've like Mr Blooby as he sold and got to number 1 - doesn't bare any relation to quality. Bland MOR songs will sell as they cater to the masses

These Days is a tune! They'll never top 'Feel the Love' though which is a modern day dance classic!

Mr Blobby is an absolute banger.

To be really honest though I never liked them as much as Disclosure

:lol:

Just listened to These Days.

 

Eh. Not something I'd listen to again, but I can see why some people might like that McDonald's emotional music.

McDonald's emotional music? :lol:

I loved "These Days", then overplayed it and got bored, though still find it listenable but I'm not choosing to listen to it.

 

Also "Mr Blobby" is a classic.

I get an 80s vibe from it and the most popular food chain in 80s was burger king

I prefer the Rudimental VIP remix of These Days sounds more like what Rudimental should be doing

Um

 

"Although McDonald’s continued to dominate the fast food market financially, no chain earned the wide acclaim in the 1980s that Burger King enjoyed. "

Definitely not 80s sounding for me, the production wasn't as boring as that in the 80s I didn't think.
