Does anyone else get the impression that most critics don't

do you have any idea how to write about music? Talking about how it sounds is fucking gay

this is what seperates social commentary from actual musicology

there are amazon reviews (at least of classical recordings) that do more to literally talk about the content of the music than most 'critics'

Totally agree, but we can only expect so much from the retarded people that are stuck in journalism.

What are they supposed to talk about? The lush bubbling synths and the farty guitar appregios?

I feel like most music reviews these days work on the premise that the reader already listened to the album so they don't care to talk much about the sounds itself, but try more to put them into context.

heres the kind of analysis i like

Fantano talks about the music

well yes, lyrics aren't part of the music.
