I fucking hate looking at this album cover so much. It's just gross. And not even the cool kind of gross, like Pervertor. I'm talking like, the goregrind kind of gross. I can literally smell this album cover and it smells awful. Like poop or, you know, throw up or something.

>pic not related
reading his review and then actually listening to it made me stop taking him seriously
Every time. Same with Xgau.

George Condo isn't my favourite artist but come on now....
>Bowie was a protagonist of his times, although a poor musician: to say that Bowie is a musician is like saying that Nero was a harp player (a fact that is technically true, but misleading). Bowie embodies the quintessence of artificial art, raises futulity to paradigm, focuses on the phenomenon rather than the content, makes irrelevant the relevant, and, thus, is the epitome of everything that went wrong with rock music.
I stopped taking him serious when I recogniced almost all his reviews are 5-6
>>68598362
that's literally why i like his ratings, not everything is good
>tfw to intelligent to enjoy Kanye West
>>68598273
But he gave Low and Heroes a 7 or 7.5
>>68598362
What's wrong with that? What's the problem with most music being average to decent?
>>68597940
Every album he has ever given a score to because he has a broken rating system
You should generally love music more than you hate it if you are a music fan
>>68598655
>broken rating system
He actually gives plenty of positive reviews to go around, they just aren't for your favorite bands/artists.
>>68598655
he's a cultural historian, not a "music fan" though, that's literally the point of his music reviews
He fucking destroyed Yeezus though.
>>68598916
He "fucking destroyed" a lot of albums.
>>68598089
listen again child. this is a great album
>>68598273
>to say that Bowie is a musician is like saying that Nero was a harp player
Fucking roasted.
>>68598029
Why?
I miss the old Kanye

Scaruffi is never wrong, most of you just don't operate on his level.
>>68598980
Except that Yeezus review is completely accurate
>>68598655
>You should generally love music more than you hate it if you are a music fan
Not true at all. If you love music but most people are making shit music you're entitled to be annoyed about it and write shit about it.
People who think Scaruffi is wrong don't understand:
1) Opinions and the nature of opinions
2) Analysis and the nature of Analysis
3) 7/10 is not the fucking average score
>>68598655
>Every album he has ever given a score to because he has a broken rating system
(not true by the way). His rating system is extremely consistent. But if you're mad that he gave a 6 to one of your favorite albums just now that 6 is actually good.

Fucking entitled millenial whiner piece of shit faggot.
the vast majority of popular music is FUCKING TRASH and Scaruffi rightfully treats it as so, just because you have some kind of intellectual deficiency and don't realize how shitty and vapid your taste is, it doesn't mean the rest of the world has to conform to your profound mediocrity.
