Why did scaruffi give NiN a 7.5, a 8.5, and a 7? Those are all higher scores than albums like Blackstar, Yeezus, In Rainbows, To Be Kind, and Bottomless Pit. He gave those albums a 4,4,5,6.5, and a 6, respectively. Why did he give edgy band like NiN higher scores than true patrician albums? The Downward Spiral with an 8.5 is probably in his top 100 of rock music.
>seeing what critics say
...
he didn't rate BP yet
>>72206557
Because NIN is patrician.
You're just too pleb to understand it.
Because Scaruffi is a meme and a terrible reviewer.
TDS deserved a 9
>>72206557
Because he doesn't care about memes.
NIN is more influential that all those albums you named
Still Foetus > NIN
>mfw i feel like the only anon shilling foetus
>>72206557
>Bottomless Pit
>rated by Scaruffi
>better than NIN
>better than anything
nice bait
>>72206557
The Downward Spiral is legitimately better than all of those albums, or at least is close as to be arguable
It's because he's right OP
>>72206557
Edgy is not an insult, its a descriptor
>>72206557
The Downward Spiral > Pretty Hate Machine > Bottomless Pit > Fragile > In Rainbows > To Be Kind > Blackstar > Yeezus
>>72206557
PHM and TDS were original and highly influential records.
None of the meme albums you posted had any where near the same impact on American popular culture that the NIN albums did.
/mu/ isn't the be-all and end-all of music.
>>72206854
Listen to Yeezus again
>>72206891
How many times must I listen to it to get it?
I listened to it already 4 times.
>>72206557
Hmm. A typical 16 years old brain-washed by the /mu/culture with no knowledge of the rock canon that's genuinely stupid to ask this thing here before some research or some miserable man desperated for attention and replies?
I'd rather to believe you are the later one.
>>72206907
Keep trying. Its different for everyone.
>>72206557
>5 patrician albums
You are retarded
>>72206557
as a fan of NIN, and having liked/loved most of the albums you mentioned, I can be confident at telling you that :
The Downward Spiral, alone, is ten times better than all those other albums... Maybe In Rainbows is in a different category to really put it side by side, but the rest of them: YES
Haven't been on /mu/ daily for about a year. What other recent Scaruffi reviews have people been crying over besides TPaB, , TLoP & Phonemenomicon?
>>72207505
>, ,
Sorry, Blackstar.
>>72207505
Bowie - Black Star
Radiohead - AMSP
4 and 6 respectively
>>72207571
>>72207533
oh sorry I totally ignored your addendum
>>72207571
Oh yeah, knew about AMSP. Cool.
>>72207597
>>72207604
And that's cool.
Why do you care so much? He's not rating them compared to other bands, only you are.
But Bowie, rejoined Swans and Kanye suck
Scaruffi Onions delicious affordable 6/10's grown in Scaruffi farms, get you some.
>>72206557
That's like asking why his favorite album is only a 9.5 and is Trout Mask Replica.
>>72209398
those questions are easy to answer if you know how his scoring system works and aren't a pleb
He should stop slacking on his reviews and finally review Clarence Clarity
Because The Downward Spiral is beter than all of these albums.
>>72206624
agreed
>>72206732
>shilling /mu/core
what
>>72209398
Because rock isn't the absolute height of music?
>>72210548
Even If Foetus is /mu/core, any thread about him would die quickly
>>72210592
eh I feel you. All the Jandek threads I used to make die pretty quick as well.
Yeezus > The Downward Spiral > Fragile > Blackstar > To Be Kind > In Rainbows > Bottomless Pit > Pretty Hate Machine
Hurt is a good song otherwise edgylord bs
>>72210672
Johnny Cash Hurt > NIN Hurt
>>72210672
A Warm Place is such an edgelord song, I agree anon
>>72209398

bad band
>>72210865
i'm comin
>>72210891
i'm gonna fuck ya
>>72206891
No, Yeezus has and will always be shit.
Death Grips does experimental a million fold times better than what Kanye could ever hope for.
>>72210897
We already went through this darling.
Wanna discuss music instead?
Why don't you like The Downward Spiral?
>>72210933
2 edgy 4 me
i like the last song
i just wanna fuck ya
like an animal
in that sweet ass
>>72210949
Judging by your posts, nothing is too edgy for you lol
>>72210966
dude i wanna fuck you
lemme in that nose
and that ass
The Downward Spiral is a fantastic album in terms of production and composition.
>>72211297
so?
>>72206808
It shits on all those meme albums and it's not arguable.
>>72207571
6 is very generous by his standards for a run of the mill Radiohead album.
>>72206952
If anything Yeezus wears out after listening to it more often it's never higher than a 6
>>72206557
>albums like Blackstar, Yeezus, In Rainbows, To Be Kind, and Bottomless Pit
>true patrician albums
lmao
>>72206557
lol i get it because all the albums you named are even edgier v clever
>>72206557
>Blackstar, Yeezus, In Rainbows, To Be Kind, and Bottomless Pit
>plebs believe these albums are even decent
>Plebs think that designating to albums buzzwords disqualifies any artistic value
>plebs get this butthurt when critics do not worship pop garbage
>>72206557
>edgy
>posts comment and clicks back button
>>72206557
NIN is better than Bowie.
>>72211297
>>72211299
>Scaruffi drones actually defend this
Holy shit
>le rate everything 6/10 man
>>72213122
we patricians are a quirky group
i hope you stay here and learn our ways
The Downward Spiral is one of the best produced albums ever
>people with bad taste getting mad at other people with bad taste
Why does his MMM rating flip-flop so much? The album deserves at least 8.5/10, seeing as it's one of the most original albums ever recorded (and not only within the context of rock music).
How the fuck did Yeezus got a score greater than 1 is the mystery here
>those anons defending Yeezus
>>72210930
retard alert

This
Radiohead, late era Bowie, Kanye, and the others are all trash. Nine Inch Nails surpasses them in every imaginable facet.
Why can't I marry a 14 year old?
>>72213873
Except he's 100% right.
>>72206557
Downward spiral is unimaginative crap
Let me just remind all of the people defending this shit that he gave the same rating (8.5) to Spiderland. At this point I think it's too early to rate the other albums you listed and he's obviously taking influence into account (otherwise what does he see in NIN?), so it's flagrantly biased. In the end, it probably will deserve a higher rating than In Rainbows and Blackstar; but at this point it's just dishonest. If you actually read Scaruffi's reviews you can tell he's not trustworthy, though. He just assembles albums into a ranking that makes sense and tries to justify it to himself, there's no personal taste involved and there's a lot of incorrect assertions about how original a band is.

Well, I'm exaggerating here since it did gave a kick-jump to an industrial metal/rock and I guess nu-metal as well to a some degree? But still...
>>72206557
To Be Kind and Blackstar are the only albums you listed better than TDS
>>72216483
>he gave the same rating (8.5) to Spiderland.
wrong, he gave Spiderland a 9
