Yeah, I'm thinking based
people like scaruffi need to be beaten and that's a fact jack
fpbp, I would hit him with an old fashioned bowling pin
I don't respect any critic who rates Springsteen highly.
Yeah, giving The River a 8.5 doesn't make sense with the rest of his reviews. I mean it's not even his best album, come on.
Same for me, but for anyone who rates Dylan high
his opinions on food are fucking stupid, shows how smart italians /aren't/
tell me that pic is not true
It's funny how Scaruffi will heap praise on artists and albums he gives 7s and then write an entire screed against the Beatles and still give them a few 7s. Just shows that even he doesn't truly believe his own bullshit
The fact that Captain Beefheart is so high on his list discredits any further opinions he has on music
Every critic praises the fishhead album so he’s not particularly unique anyway.
It's literally a shitpost in music form that people started to take seriously
Someone like Beefheart isn’t too dissimilar to Marcel Duchamp in that regard
Naw thats just your confirmation bias. Beefheart would sound as good at a slam poetry reading as he would singing duet with Howlin' Wolf himself.
Critics are full of shit though. Imagine going to school for writing but talking about music.
Doesn't that sentence just sound weird when you read it?
>Going to school for writing but end up talking about music
I will add that that I believe Scaruffi is a symptom of the idea that somehow the accruement influences has some inherent good or for reason we are the sum of them.
Not a fan of curation, past is a fuck.
Most music critics are full of shit, most professional critics in general are.
Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.
>Has consumed and assimilated every piece of recorded music in every genre
He literally admitted to not listening to some of the music he reviews
>He literally admitted to not listening to some of the music he reviews
I don't actively read this guys work so there may be some other piece you were referring to but whoever thinks that "the fact that the beatles" comment is disdain for the group has serious reading comprehension issues.
>>Has consumed and assimilated every piece of recorded music in every genre
As if, there's more than american music
He haven't rated Polmo Polpo despite having page about it
>20-point rating system
>doesn't use half those points
Why is he like this?
>Has consumed and assimilated every piece of recorded music in every genre
That's John Peel actually
what weird cult albums from tyhe 60's 80's Scaruffi praised? only Trout Mask Replica?
beatles hate is stupid, i read the reviews, it's just salt
yeah people who hates the beatles has no real genuine opinion music, are just trying to be edgy contrarians is impossible to be human and not like the beatles.
He looks like a homosexual too
