>"While the music is the exact opposite of "groundbreaking", one has to give him credit that not many singer-songwriters have been able to express their most personal feelings with such clarity and nakedness."
>mfw scaruffi is letting "muh feels" dictate his taste now

LOL he actually said this?? It literally goes against his reviewing guidelines of objectivity over subjectivity

>As usual with Bowie, Blackstar (RCA, 2016), produced again by Tony Visconti,, is mostly image and very little about the music. The ten-minute Blackstar, that was supposed to be the centerpiece, is little more than a funereal litany a` la Doors with jazz horns that goes on five minutes too many. Bowie crooning melodramatic in Lazarus (from his Broadway musical about an alien who falls in love) or romantic in Dollar Days is either delirious and pathetic, certainly not entertaining. His tedious voice interferes with the driving jazz jam of 'Tis a Pity She Was a Whore and with the frenzied and tense Sue (a 2014 single). Even when the voice is not a distraction, the rest is hardly intriguing: I Can't Give Everything Away boasts an awful distorted guitar against syncopated beats and layers of electronic drones: not exactly genius. This is trivial "music" that any amateur could make, except that most amateurs would be ashamed to release it.
>trivial "music"

what did he meme by this?

>>69950781
he probably feels that his "clarity" or whatever is objectively a good form or artistic expression

>>69950845
He meant to keep himself relevant with the shitposter demographic.

>>69950781

As in most matters, he's absolutely right. TMLT was a textbook pleb filter album, and it filtered the fuck out of plebs like Fantano. No Future Part IV, Fired Up, I Lost My Mind, Fatal Flaw are all among their best songs.
