Amusing but pretty retarded the deeper you dig into his website.

Autistic italian guy with too much time on his hands. His collection has so many omissions that it's hardly worth looking at .

I like his reviews but don't usually agree with him

But there's some sort of alluring quality about his website where after I finish an album and have a set opinion on it, I look to see what Scaruffi gave it.

Same deal with Fantano except I don't actually like his reviews at all.

I saw Piero Scaruffi at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I saw Piero Scaruffi at a grocery store in New York this morning. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.”

Reminder that Scaruffi has literally never been wrong.

trips say the truth

that's because he's a cut & paste of other peoples opinions. I'd argue that he's never been right.

The fact that so many threads still name Scaruffi as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock critic ever only tells you how far rock criticism still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz threads have long recognized that the greatest jazz critics of all times are allmusic and Pitchfork, who were not the most popular or quotable or famous of their times, let alone of all times. Classical threads rank the highly controversial Wikipedia over classical critics who were highly popular in classrooms around Europe. Rock threads are still blinded by memetic success. Scaruffi rated more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore he must have been the greatest. Jazz posters grow up reading a lot of jazz threads of the past, classical posters grow up reading a lot of classical threads of the past. Rock posters are often totally ignorant of the rock threads of the past, they barely know the best tripfags. No wonder they will think that Scaruffi did anything worthy of being saved.

He has weird opinions on non music sutff. One of those cases of "overrated on /mu/".

Trout Mask Replica is unironically one of the greatest albums of all time and beats anything that Fantano has ever rated in his pathetic fucking life

this
I knew he was a pleb all along the minute I saw his TMR review
