>He has multiple 9's from 1960-1990
>He has zero 9's for 2000 onwards
What is more likely, that quality music has stopped being released, or that Scaruffi simply doesn't understand modern music?
>>73009937
>1960
>2000
>modern
>>73009990
relatively modern then. Music from the turn of the century.
His taste in artists in the 2000's is good but I disagree with most of his taste in the 2010's. He's out of touch with recent music yeah.
>>73009937
it's not that he doesn't understand it, it's just that he has convinced himself that everything new is a ripoff of something that was done before the 21st century, even if he majorly reaches
ex: he compared To Be Kind to Pink Floyd, and he compared OPN to Terry Riley lol
Perhaps there's a frightening scenario where the internet has killed art.
he'd probably give a jazz or classical album 9 but he doesn't rate those, because he doesn't understand them
>>73012079
internet has actually helped art in a lot of ways
it definitely helps good artists without the means to acquire a record contract get exposure. there are more ways to find music now.
>>73009937
he gave Have One On Me an 8.5 which is pretty much the same thing
>>73012236
he does, literally on the homepage
>>73012236
unironically this, have you seen his list of best classical compositions? some of the most embarrassing shit ive ever seen
>>73012490
he literally hasn't rated a single jazz album, ever
Hates 70s Bowie for being artificial and arch yet rates Roxy Music from the same era.
Not to mention his #1 rock album being the jugband retardation that is Trout Mask Replica.
>>73009937
scale everything post 2000 and give each release an extra 1 point, and you get the same scale as he had before it
>>73012079

IMO the internet killed rock music but allowed hip-hop to expand.
>>73013293
But then Have One On Me would be a 9.5. Which would be ridiculous for his standard.
>>73014293
This is depressing for someone like me who identifies more with rock than hip-hop.
>>73012588
Spring Heel Jack's Amassed, and he gave it an 8.
>>73012778
>Liking Bowie but not TMR
>>73012059
>he compared OPN to Terry Riley lol
so?
>>73012490
He gave her that score only because she's a women, he even said it so in the interview. He did the same thing with Julia Holter.
>>73014624
>only because she's a woman
ughhhh
>>73014532
>posting from your phone
>>73009937
hindsight is 20/20 for one thing
>>73009937
Do you think there's anything that deserves a Scaruffi 9? I couldn't think of anything.
who cares what this pretentious prick thinks about music anyway?
