seems like every music reviewer out there with "good taste" is a pretty big douche.
>fantano reviews illegal leak, laughs it off and continues to douche it up
>scruffy is basically an autist who runs a terrible twitter and all his music reviews are a few lines at best
>pitchfork is fluff, english major-tier paragraphs of bullshit
>deadend hiphop is basically unwatchable due to stream of thought type filming and all the personalities stop surprising me (for the most part, not you breezy)
are there any good reviewers?
why did you make this thread
go play in traffic kid

i'd rather eat my emotions

I think he got to eat them before you did.
What about Chrisgau
>>55558023
I think you're being a little harsh on english majors with that third one
>>55558023
Marcel is pretty good
I thought people read up critics for two reasons:
1. Entertainment
2. Recommendations/ Another perspective

anyone got a mirror for Fanthony Antano's complete fuck up this morning?

I've never read a review of Chrisgau's that wasn't just a smug nonsense statement. Also his rating system makes zero fucking sense.
how the fuck does a picture of scissors or a looney toons bomb indicative of the quality of music? at least a 1 to 10 rating is a comparative ranking.

Hey guys, just out of curiosity (don't hurt me), but why do you fucking need reviewers? It's not like reviewing a movie. Why are you listening to these faggots making easy bucks and not listening to the music they're talking about? You'd be smarter if you did. just sayin', gtfo and listen.
This kind of hatred stems from a personal experience where I encountered a co-worker who was talking up a band and literally cited an entire paragraph off some jerk-off's "review." Though he couldn't name off a single song on the album except their single. Seriously, this guy went on about his favorite band but "i don't know the title man, i just know the song." The whole moment was cringe.

it be good to confirm some of my thoughts or appreciations with someone who is "seasoned"
like sparring with a kung-fu master or something. you want to know what you missed and if you're feeling stuff that's objective or just in your own experience.
i would never tell someone to not like something they like because it is objectively inferior. obviously music is a deeply subjective thing, but there must be certain elements that are universally felt.
>>55558602
What makes you the pupal and not the master?
>>55558245
dunno maybe some sort of vegan next-level meme of being a sjw and fat

*pupil, sorry.

for starters, i'm 25, haven't got the time to listen to endless music and haven't made a career out of it so
>>55558665
its not ok
>>55558702
still doesn't really click with an understanding in my brain. i'm 21 and look for music i enjoy and listen to it to make my own opinion without basing off of someone else's OPINION. and i probably work just as much as you do. listening to music isn't hard to fit into your daily schedule.
>>55558707
but that's ok.
Luke James is a pretty good hip hop reviewer, seems like he knows he's stuff and isn't a douchebag.
>>55558243
YES! Why does anyone respect him? He's like a smugger Rolling Stone with the most retarded rating system conceivable.
>>55558023
>pitchfork is fluff, english major-tier paragraphs of bullshit
Not even, English majors usually at least know how to spell and punctuate their sentences.
>>55558023
I like Fantano more than the rest, because he doesn't seem to take himself too seriously. Scaruffi is a dick, and mostly a reaction to what's popular and critically praised. The Beatles and Aphex are overrated? Fuck off you pseudo intellectual piece of garbage.
>>55558537
It can help expose me to new music. I wouldn't have found out about a lot of bands if I hadn't looked at p4k lists.
>>55559410
lol this year fantano has been the worst person. he used to be tolerable but now it's like watching a monkey do a dance before he throws shit at you
The only critics i pay attention to are Scaruffi and Marcel.
Brett Stevens is pretty cool
Honest question, not trying to be a dick, but why do you people read/watch reviews? I never tend to put much weight in some random guy's opinion, and would rather listen to the album myself.

Mainly, it's just fun to watch, and get some other guy's perspective. Hearing music lovers talk about the music they love (or hate, in SOME cases) is pretty great.
Same reason I'm on /mu/. I don't NEED your opinions/shitposts/recs, but hey, it's fun, so who cares? And if you don't enjoy it, well, good for you, but there's nothing wrong with other people enjoying it.
Most of the people whose opinion is worth a damn about music are the ones making it.

This needs updating.
