scaruffi just gave this a 7.5 lmao http://www.scaruffi.com/v

far too generous score
circus music shouldn't be above 5/10

>>70251458
wait scaruffi gave an avant album a high score? that's weird

>>70251471
this new score just makes scaruffi's carnival music bias more evident

He's not wrong.

This shit sounds like the musical embodiment of 9gag.

>Doubting Random John Poole

Just listen to The God Damn Whores or The Dowling Poole or all the stuff he did with Ginger Wildheart. He's the reason this album is as patrician as it is.

holds up le spoork

The only time I agree with him

>scruffy gave Blackstar a 4
FUCKING MADMAN SOMEONE STOP HIM

here is something poppier you might be able to appreciate

>The closer, Foundling, finally slows down the tempo to intone a pathetic David Bowie-esque singalong

Of course he's gotta squeeze that shot at Bowie in there. Still agree with his scores though.

ITT: Scaruffi said it's bad, therefore it's bad

FACT: There is no difference between the average Cardiacs song and the Fanboy and Chum Chum theme song

Still sounds silly and fake. I think Jon Poole had a bad influence on Tim, everything before William D Drake left I think is wonderful (pic related)

It's just the scores of someones first listen's to cardiacs albums.

First time i listened to them I would have felt the same, it's not the sort of stuff you can just listen to once or twice and grasp.

I thought heaven born and guns were shite, and now they have gone through periods of being my favorite albums.

They just have a very unique musical vocabulary that until you sort of have some processed it's all quite alienating and keeps you from liking it. I usually just liked one track from an album before falling in love with all of them, as happened with all the side projects as well.

Sing to god is one of the more boring (not boring or bad as it is still cardiacs of course) albums from them for me now, my least listened to one (including live albums and side projects). Was my favorite at first.

some random tracks you should listen to more

Their side projects together are some of my favorites, though poole is a massive spaz and that had some effect no doubt.
Thoughts on heaven born then since it has neither?
March is one of my fav
