Trust by Low and Amassed by Spring Heel Jack are now the best album of the 2000's.
>>131480681lol, Low fucking sucks. Some good picks in the 8/10 section, though.
>>131480681How did Scaruffi become so popular when his own writings aren't even the focal point of his website, just his scores? At least xgau had a unique style of reviews.
>>131480754Cause his taste is interesting. xgau has atrocious taste.
>>131480754Scaruffi actually writes reviews, Cuckgau writes nonsensical boomer platitudes he thinks are "witty"
>>131480803>>131480928Sure but I thought Scaruffi was a critic and a theorist like, say, an André Bazin in film, or an Enrico Ghezzi to cite a fellow italian. How did he become well known internationally?
>>131480992>How did he become well known internationally?He got popular on 4chan.org
>>131480992He trashed the beatles.
>>131480681Low fucking sucks, I think Scruffy is going senile.He downgraded picrel to a 7.5 too.
>>131480681Where's the Autechre?
>>131481250In the 90's.https://www.scaruffi.com/vol6/autechre.html
>>131480681>Xiu Xiu is the best musical act of the 2000s
>>131480738>Low fucking sucksfaggot take
In 2022, he tried to predict how the 2022 French election would go and he was completely wrong, in the sense that anybody in France, even before the election, would have laughed at him https://www.scaruffi.com/politics/france22.html#fran0122
>>131480681Wasn't a big fan of the Spring Heel Jack album. It's okay. I think he has thing for nu jazz, same as his Amon Tobin wank which I don't really get. I've only listened to Low's debut. Guess I could listen to the rest.He's made a lot of odd rating changes lately.
>>131480754Because Scaruffi actually writes and reviews rock music.
>>131480803lolreminderlol, scaruffi gave good grades to literal rym tranny shit acts that shill their music on rym and 4chan
>>131480754he's our cultcha
>>131481382>old good, new badWhat a fucking boomer.
I wish he'd finally give out another 9. It's been almost thirty years since the last one. Imagine how hipster legendary that album would become.
>>131483560I'm sure that he'd give that score to an album released during 2017 for a couple of reasons, but it's in Spanish so I highly doubt it'll get ever reviewed by him
>>131480681>Supersilent
>>131481400No, its Acid Mothers Temple
The fact that he has never given a 10 just shows he is pretentious as fuck
>>131484434nah, if anything he uses rating right as if everything about 6 is worth checking out
>>131484434He's never going to give a 10 to a rock album since he doesn't actually like rock music by his own admission
>>131484600>doesn't like rock>gave tmr a 9.5 cmon now
>>131484434there's no such thing as a perfect albumhim recognizing this is what gives him the credibility that no other critic possesses
>>131484612Trout Mask Replica is not real rock.
>>131484661yeah, since reviews have a subjective elements I'd say the only true 10 album would be something you make to your own proclivities
>>131484434A 10 is reserved only for albums with all stellar no filler. For any LP you love, there are at least two (2) tracks you don't.
>>131484697Yes it is, for more than any british slop
>>131484661>>131484703A Perfect 10 album can exist. It's just that that album would need to have nothing but bangers on it. If there are any skips, then it's not a 10.
>>131484434>>131484580You pretty much have to add one point to his reviews to get an accurate score>>131484661>there's no such thing as a perfect albumWhat a pretentious thing to sayWhat's even the point of using a 1-10 scale if you never give a 10?I don't think he has given a 1 or 0 either
>>131484712Are you anti Beatles schizo?
>>131484721it's just numbers autismo
>>131484712This is not rock:https://youtu.be/AoCjjeVfwJEThis is rock:https://youtu.be/Bz4l9_bzfZM
>>131484705>>131484719Just because album has no weak tracks doesn't mean it's a 10
>>131484729not just the boy band, the british as a whole have a hard time making real rock music that isn't tea sipping nerdy wank for once.
>>131484742I hope you possess some reading comprehension. Surely you understand this addition is not a refutation. Having "no weak tracks" is (merely) a necessary precondition of tenhood.
>>131483642You going to share what this supposed masterpiece is?
>>131484752The British indented metal
>>131484786Even Ozzy didn't think Black Sabbath is "metal".
>>131484434>>131484721He states on his music page that>10=best everMeaning only one album can have the spot, and his music listening is a continual search meaning it will never be filled.
>>131484806That'd be fallacious thinking. As if "perfection" could come only in one form within a medium.
>>131484801Who cares what he thinksHe didn't even write the songs
>>131484815Best ever doesn't mean perfection, just that it's the best there is that's been done.
>>131480681did you know or does peter know that you can listen to music without ranking it 1-10?
>>131484806>one album can have the spotThat's fucking stupid
>>131484786Metal is gay teasipping-with-no-pinky-out for the most part, and the one that isn't like sludge, death, drone or post largely draws from american influences
>>131484822It is impossible to know the "best ever" then in the first place.
>>131484821He was the literal face of the band. Guarantee you no other member is more esteemed.
>>131484846That's why the spot will never be filled.
>>131484842>drone or post>not gay af>>131484851Iommi or Dio
>>131484854So why bother searching for it then
>>131484879How is Earth 2 or Neurosis gayer than literal nwobhm faglords like Halford?
>>131484887Cause they like music.
>>131480681>TV on the Radio is the 13th best band of the 2000sSeriously? They had like 3 good songs
>>131483560It's gonna be some bleep blop shit made by a pedo tranny since Scaruffi worships both
Think his music lists are bad? https://www.scaruffi.com/cinema/actors.html
>>131480992>an André Bazin in film, or an Enrico Ghezzi to cite a fellow italian.does music have one of those sort of critics?
>>131480754The difference, and I'm aware of how ridiculous this sounds, is that Scaruffi has respect for music as an artform while Christgau has disdain for anything that doesn't conform to his narrow views of what he thinks music should be.
>>131484906You're living on it
