>music plays many notes + has no sub-bass = goodsometimes i feel like hes just trolling people into listening to bad music
>>131629167I don't think he has a consistent musical agenda at all, you can tell those 2/10 for Beatles and Elvis albums are just for the sake of contrarianism.
he’s just some old guy with bad taste that is very prolific and detailed in describing his taste and this makes people think he know what he’s talking about. Which is true, he knows what he likes, but he presents it as an objective take
>>131629570It's fun when you don't take it seriously, I just laugh at the idea of some old fag thinking Butthole Surfers is peak
this pic makes him look like an actual midget, how are his shoulders two inches wide
>>131629167this heat, can, and captain beefheart really were the greatest rock bands ever, and there ain't nothing you can do about it
>>131629570He's free to present it anyway he wants, it's mostly on the people that feel the need to base their opinion off of some guy who has never made a song in his life
>>131630061This Heat and Can aren't that high, he fancies Royal Turd and Fraud instead.
>>131630061>>131630073those are all good though. there are so many actual bad 8s its insane. my least favorite are Cabin Flounder, The Wolf at the Ruins, The Guilt Trip, The End of the Game, Trance Mission
>the trivial Loose (2006), produced by Timbaland and containing her biggest hit Promiscuous, an album that simply recycled stereotypes of the teenage pop muzak of the 1990s.kek
he's fine by me for giving kraftwerk's second album an 8 and considering it to be their best effort. klingklang is the crowning achievement of 70s krautrock.
>someone has an opinion I don't like, let me make a thread about it!
>>131629167His antipathy towards pop music automatically places him above 99% of music critics in the current landscape, so that all of the minor quibbles I have with his ratings are pretty meaningless
>>131630107>The Guilt Tripyou're nuts, I love that album, probably my single favourite thing I found from scaruffi
He really needs to update those Stooges scores, just a 7 for Raw power and Fun house is criminal
>>131629167>trolling people into listening to bad musicevery """""critic""""" ever
>>131630107I feel the 8s usually deserve their flowers.
>>131631146funhouse is dull as shit, i'm sorry
>>131629535>I don't think he has a consistent musical agenda at allyou can criticize him for lots of stuff but definitely not this
his beatles ratings are wrong
>>131629167this nigga thinks captain beefheart and genesis are good. i feel like he just picks random shit to shill and random shit to say isn't good. like he has a wheel with 1-10 on it that he spins for any given artist or record he rates
>>131629570Yeah, I like his style, his taste not so much
>>131629167We would be in a better world if critics broadly shilled the same albums he did instead of Springsteen
His mountaineering route descriptions in the Sierra Nevada are solid but I tried looking into his musical recs and its obnoxious trash most of it. No one sits there and genuinely likes this Trout Mask bullshit, its just pretentious shit. If I see this little fuckface in the mountains im gonna give his nerd ass a wedgie
>>131634354>>131636482>TROUT MASK REPLICA LE BADopinion discardedhis 9s are good. its his 8s that are really really bad
>>131630056I strongly dislike midgets. He must be crushed into powder.
>>131634354Captain Beefheart and Genesis are good, even great,Hope this helps.
>>131638368>his 9s are goodmehPop group is just le artsy bong Talking HeadsFugazzi and Husker Du are overrated post-hardcore actsWyatt and Gong are just ironic progRoyal Turd is just degenerate BeefheartThe krautrock picks are just trite jam wankery + some basic musique concrete
>>131638487Royal Trux is inspired by the Rolling Stones, not Beefheart. Listen to more music.
>>131638631They are inspired by all those white blues hipsters retard, just like the gun club.
>>131638641Blues music is good, even if it filters zoomer plebs like you.
>>131638649It sure is, shame royal turd is ass and misses the point
>>131638669Royal Trux*
>>131629594His scores are kind of weird for them. I just looked it up and he complains about how every album after Sailor Peepee and Psychic Powerless are so lame and tame compared to their debuts but still scores a lot of them as a 7/10 even when the whole review is just calling it mild and lame
>>131630911It does come at the expense of no longer paying attention to good songwriting. It also ends up taking the stance that Rock music is a genre that thrives off of cannibalizing itself in the most provocative ways, hence why no new masterpieces have come out. While this is a self-defeating ideal it does somewhat reflect the fate of rock music
>>131630911Nirvana did pop music best and he was wrong about them for that
It's not that weird, if you want to understand Scaruffi's ratings you have to think of him as a postmodern hipster who rates several minutes of silence followed by a bang as better than the Beatles because it's so innovative and deep
>>131638954Farrah Abraham did pop music best. He is wrong about her though.
>>131638975From what I've seen his aesthetics come down to these:-Hegemonically "deep and artsy" albums like Lorca, Rock Bottom, Hosianna Mantra or Irrlicht-le heckin' confrontational rock acts (Royal Trux, Suicide, Butthole Surfers, Faust)-long-winded psychedelia wank (Red Crayola, Doors, Piper at gates of down & Barrett)-Something in between (Pere Ubu, Residents, Pop group, Gong)
