Diesel is Desire Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Finneas is still producing fresh full projects with Billie Eilish. The two albums that Jack has worked on in full with Taylor Swift (Midnights/TTPD, standard editions) are not Taylor's best work. Is Finneas a better producer than Jack Antonoff? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator Bloo Posted May 17 ATRL Moderator Share Posted May 17 Jack Antonoff works with more collaborators than FINNEAS so this isn’t a fair comparison imo. We’re all used to his style because it’s relatively overexposed. FINNEAS is going to sound more fresh when we’ve heard less content from him. So, yes, the production on Billie’s latest album is more fresh than any recent Antonoff project. But that’s not a good reason to dunk on his overall talents when he’s given us Melodrama and Norman F***ing Rockwell. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiss It Better Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 yes and by MILES, Finneas could do Melodrama/NFR/etc but Jack could never do HMHAS 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no_better Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 As much as I think Midnights and TTPD are Taylor's weakest albums, production - although hugely important - is not the only factor of an amazing album Jack Antonoff did produce Melodrama, NFR, Masseduction, Daddy's Home, Sling, and more, and those records sound fantastic Finneas didn't yet produce that many albums. One thing I can say about him is that his skillset is growing exponentially with Billie's every release 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneakyishere Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Did Finneas produce Melodrama? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEX Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I love Jack's work with Lana. It suits her freestyle type of delivery. He did some good productions for Lorde and Taylor as well, but Taylor needs to drop him asap because the last album's productions are dragging down an otherwise good album. Finneas is technically more skilled and experimental as a producer tho. He's very creative at utilising unusual objects and sounds into their work. Jack and his programmed drums can't relate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartalek22 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Finneas is as good as an artist pushes him, example Ocean Under Tunnel Blvd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on the line Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Definitely not. I realize it's trendy to hate Taylor right now by the lesser fan bases, but 1) never really liked any of Billie's music and 2) he gives me the creeps like he's a little too into his sister. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those in the industry have given Jack the Producer of the Year award the last two years in a row, while those who stan flops stay pounding their keyboard like it's their fleshlight from Amazon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttsmu Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Yes. Also Billie is waaaaaay more talented than Taylor as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathekr Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Yes, Finneas is a much better, versatile and talented producer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnusualBoy Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Both are talented but I feel like Jack tends to reuse his sounds way too much, I know he works with so many artists so that's bound to happen but it's happening more and more with the same artists.

KatyPrismSpirit Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 judging their last outputs (HMHAS vs. PTSD) I'd say Finneas is currently making better music. but despite me being an OJAH, i can never take away the masterpiece that was melodrama and NFR, which were produced by him for the most part.

BlackoutZone Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 His versatility is just insane.. I kept hoping Billie just starts working with others, but there is low key no need, because of how much Finneas can do by himself Hack knows how to use 2 synth patterns and reverb 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kh-Loud Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) I don't think people understand how much work Finnease has to put in in order for you to not fall asleep after listening to Billie for more than 30 seconds. He's lowkey a genuis considering how his sister is one of, if not the most monotonous singer out there yet Billies new album sounds soo crisp, catchy, melodic, fresh and such a great sonic experience to listen to!

Rev8 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I am the first one to hate on Jack these days but he has great work with several artists.. while Finneas' great stuff are mostly with Billie (all great tbh) both great tho but maybe both should work with other artists now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphy23 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 ugh yeas I can't stand Jack's productions in songs like I Can Do It With A Broken Heart, Bejeweled, Mastermind, etc. He needs to switch that up quick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalism Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Anyone is better than Jack atm But if Finneas worked with more people you will see he also uses the same tricks again and again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveInStereo Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Jack is a much more skilled producer & it's irritating to even see this up for debate. I remember reading Finneas piece in SoundonSound mag in 2019 & being gagged by how amateur everything was. You may like his output more but he's not as talented, period 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
