Straight away. He has his limitations but he at least has a consistent method and honest approach to music unlike fagtano. You can occasionally learn something from Scaruffi which is amazing for a critic. A good critic should enhance your enjoyment of music not detract from it.
He is a very smart person judging by his professional life but his musical obsession is eccentric and his reviews are basically useless, mostly about comparing bands to other bands.
He's performatively ridiculous and opinionated in the best way possible. You need someone who is dogmatically opposed to established public opinion to get people to actually think in a more nuanced way.
It's low hanging fruit, but the Beatles copypasta. Sure, it's over-the-top insane some of the things he says but it also gets your attention and forces you to look at something from a different perspective. There is a genius to the madness whether intentional or not.

maybe in other schools of philosophy, perhaps
but he's a music critic. Perhaps the least valuable of all media professions. PAs who are nothing but coffee fetchers have more value.
The Beatles copypasta is bullshit on the merits but is actually a great piece of criticism, someone should try to make the case that the Beatles are terrible. Most of his opinions are just more-Pitchfork-than-Pitchfork silliness (we are all set with people saying Captain BeeFart is a genius normies are too dumb to get, thanks), sedevacantism for hipsters.
The same day I realized that pigs fly
Lana del Rey flies United

Scaruffi isn't a critic, he's a blogger. There's plenty more interesting bloggers out there
there's something to this voodoo but one of my criticisms of Scaruffi is that he somewhat overrates the importance of innovation.
I've noticed this, he gives higher scores to more original or influential albums
holy cope
He values novelty way too much.
I think he equates novelty with passion and creativity, which there is often an overlap but not always.
isnt he a mathematician or something

When i realized he was able to build a career from writing meandering, incoherent, meaningless bullshit lol
the music critic serves no purpose
The critic is the real artist
instead of repeating things you heard like a drone, elaborate
The critic is the best artist
reading a review isn't a moving experience

I once asked him to try some more of EBM, which he bluntly refused stating he has already the most monumental Industrial bands behind his ear.
That homosexual looks like a midget in that pic
