Does this guy actually have fans? He is the kind of obnoxious prick who will dominate an entire conversation by jerking off to a bands influences instead of actually listening to the fucking album. Yes, originality is obviously an important factor but if anything someone writes sounds remotely like something that came out anytime from the 1960s to now he will immediately disregard it as derivative. This man gave Bowie's Young Americans a fucking 4/10 and said this about Station To Station:

>a hodgepodge of pretentious prog-rock cliches, second-rate muzak and dance experiments. The ten-minute suite Station to Station is an amateurish take on Pink Floyd's futuristic anthem Welcome to The Machine (electronic overture, funky rhythm, psychedelic effects) watered down with a soul melody reminiscent of Cream's White Room and keyboards reminiscent of Yes, and then propelled by a sudden progression a` la Jethro Tull and a coda that mixes rock'n'roll piano and disco beat.

See what I mean? The man gives zero shits about actual songwriting or emotion put into music, but will just dissect it. "Oh, this synth sounds vaguely like a synth pink Floyd used in one song ten years ago? 6/10." I've never had the displeasure of meeting a Scaruffi drone but if they are nearly as pretentious as the man they idolize then it'd be a wonder if they could even hear any music at all that far up their own asses. To any Scaruffi fans reading this: have fun jerking off to the same Beefheart, Velvet Underground, Faust, and Slint LPs over and over again because nothing released some 2000 has been good enough to listen to apparently.
Also how does it make sense that a man who is apparently a genius scientist has a website that looks like it was designed in 2002 and never updated? Give me a break. Fuck Scaruffi and fuck anyone who gives two shits about his opinion.
