Literally all this guy does is puts an adjective in front of something in the song and acts like a genius
>Sweaty sax solos
rap tap tapping snares
>>65263055
how else could you describe music without sounding dry.
>>65263126
How is just slapping an adjective on everything not dry?
>>65263055
He doesn't really act like a genius at all. As a matter of fact I get the idea that he doesn't take himself nearly as seriously as most of the fags that populate this board do.

just try to describe an instrument without adjectives and see how far you get.
>>65263242
You know there's more to music than the instruments.
Like, I don't know, the fucking notes?
>>65263280
I'm pretty sure Fantano keeps notes too, dude
>>65263235
>cascading melodies
>pleasant harmonic turns
>pleasant
>soft tones
>dynamic contrast
>cheesy melodies
its basically the same thing
>>65263306
oh so you're b8ing
>>65263280
okay.. describe the notes without using adjectives
>>65263314
"Cascading" is a much better descriptor than "farty."

He says he's the internet's busiest music nerd, not the smartest.

I think you've got the wrong critic friendo
>>65263334
Read the reviews linked >>65263235
>>65263511
Christgau is the far bigger snob.
>>65263511
Fantano literally has video bragging about all his accomplishments
>>65263536
Christgau is not a snob at all, he frequently talks specifically from his personal taste.
>>65263335
Fantano does use better adjectives than that most of the time.
>Indie Rock Outfit
>>65265165
He does not.
Unless you can provide examples you're at the disadvantage.
>braggodocious violas
Actual fantanoisms:
"Howling and melancholic snares"
"Frosty guitars"
"Disloyal synth progressions"
>>65265390
"Howling and melancholic snares"
Snares are the least likely instrument to howl
>>65265390
what the fuck does the last one even mean? the first two are fucking stupid and illogical but what the fuck context was that third one in?
>>65265593
I'm assuming that the synth progressions didn't fit well in the song
>>65265593
forget where it was from but I think he was trying to convey that the synth progressions were so alluring and ear-grabbing that they distracted from the rest of the song
>ABSOLUTELY ANAEROBIC TRUMPETING *laughs*
Jesus fucking christ
he just made those isms up retards
>>65265637
>>65265649
What an idiotic mixed metaphor
>>65263335
the problem is that when people criticize him, they usually say he only uses adjectives and buzzwords, not that he isn't eloquent enough
