do you take him seriously?
>i don't
One of the few music reviewers that I do take seriously. His knowledge of not only music but of all art forms, art movements, and art history give him the ability to contextualize and dissect music in a way that very few people are able to.
>>71920643
wtf is he doing
did he die
>>71920643
Scaruffi has literally never been wrong
>>71920828
pcp while succ
Rip scruffers
more than shitgua shitfork and fatano but i still form my own opinions on albums and artists
he has so many stupid reviews that I just can't take him seriously
>>71920643
He litrally describes things in the pretentious pitchfork way, the only diffrence is he's a contrarian.
i agree with this >>71920813, but this >>71921263
is also true. I dont like Blackstar but his review of that album is ridiculous.
>>71921272
how is he contrarian? cause he doesn't suck indie rock's dick? sure he's retarded but he's not the pitchfork level of cancer
>>71921300
He dosent suck indies rock dick but he does suck kroutrocks dick
>>71920643
i'm don't even take myself seriously anymore so why should i care about a middle aged Italian's opinions?
I think you take any music reviewer seriously you're an idiot and a plebeian.
>>71920813
I don't understand this. The amount of times he's written things that are beyond ridiculous and/or flat-out incorrect have absolutely discredited him in my eyes and made it abundantly clear that he knows little to nothing about the music he talks about and frequently pulls shit out of his ass to give the illusion of some deep knowledge. An example of this off the top of my head is when he wrote that Between the Buried and Me are a black metal band.
>>71921876
he also gave Quebec a 4/10 because "they're not even funny anymore"
>>71921876
or when he did a review of BOC music that no one ouside them and their relatives have listened
>>71920643
I don't
but he's right about Radiohead, Bowie and the Beatles
>>71921355
literally this
>>71920643
some opinions of his yes, others no
overall probably not so much
>>71920643
yes
how can one have the physical time to listen to all the things he reviewed? I mean, in a deep or not totally superficial way at least; yet coincidentally he is right about lot of stuff
>>71924279
he's like 65 years old dude
that's almost three times as old as the average /mu/tant
what does he think about hip-hop?
>>71924327
he is very biased against hip-hop
the highest score he has given to a hip-hop album is an 8
he has explained this as believing that because hip-hop often focuses so heavily on the lyrics, the actual music is weak because of this.
Public Enemy's It Takes A Nation... is his favorite hip-hop album
>>71924440
You get the impression that he doesn't listen to very much hip-hop.
>>71924487
he listens to a ton though
he has stuff in his top 100 that /mu/ doesn't even discuss
daily reminder that he factually doesn't even watch many of the films he's reviewed
no but i don't take anyone seriously
>>71924540
everyone knows this, he said this himself
>>71924520
He listens to a ton of hip-hop or music in general?
>>71924540
proof or stfu
>>71924576
both
he listens to all kinds of music
he actually has pretty good taste in ambient if you check out his avant-garde/experimental section
>>71924583
its on his website, but i'm not navigating that web 2.0 garbáge
not even for all the (You)s in the world
>>71924594
Is he just a pleb when it comes to hip-hop then? Just seems like a silly opinion to justify disliking hip-hop if you do listen to a lot.
