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

>Bottomless Pit

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

Edgy is not an insult, its a descriptor

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.

Keep trying. Its different for everyone.

>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

oh sorry I totally ignored your addendum

Oh yeah, knew about AMSP. Cool.
>>
>>72207597

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

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.

6 is very generous by his standards for a run of the mill Radiohead album.

If anything Yeezus wears out after listening to it more often it's never higher than a 6

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

Radiohead, late era Bowie, Kanye, and the others are all trash. Nine Inch Nails surpasses them in every imaginable facet.

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

>he gave the same rating (8.5) to Spiderland.

wrong, he gave Spiderland a 9
