do you guys agree with scaruffi on 2016?
also, his website is palewave as fuck
>>66039338
He's right about woods' album being underrated, wrong about radiohead and parquet courts being overrated
>IMHO
uh s-scaruffi
>>66039455
come on man
a moon shaped pool was pretty bad
>No Death Grips
Bottomless Pit 7/10 confirmed
>>66039661
It's actually their best since amnesiac. I don't like poppy radiohead so in rainbows isn't my cup of tea, HTTT is a clusterfuck, and TKOL has a weak second half. I like that AMSP is subtle, so it's not as simple as their poppier work, but doesn't go so far in trying to be inaccessible as TKOL did.
>>66039338
>Hopelessness
>Lemonade
>Teens of Denial
>Coloring Book
>Next Thing
>The Life of Pablo
agreed
>Blackstar
>A Moon Shaped Pool
actually pretty decent
of course Scruffy is literally retarded, so...
>>66039510
Has he used this before?
Kinda spooked desu maybe he's been browsing here
>>66039338
>scaruffi
>humble opinions
who the fuck does he think he's kidding
>>66039845
There was a screencap of one of his tweets posted here once, it had a delete button and nothing popped up when I reverse image searched it so I think he does. He also used that smiley face he uses.
>>66039845
it's totally out of character for him
maybe he picked it up from a girl
>>66039338
Seems pretty ok with me.

>>66040032
remember that insane guy who had a blog with "sun" in the name
he tried to take on scaruffi. he attempted to contradict the master and got fucking humiliated
>andy stott
haha fagger
>scaruffi is contrarian
wow who would have guessed
>>66040199
I love DJ Andy Scott but that particular album is pretty mediocre
>>66039338
yo that Gnod release was pretty solid DESU
>>66040260
Dude fred what the fuck
Scaruffi is one of the few critics who gives your band some respect
>sun valley gun club
this is garb
>>66039338
I'm actually very happy he doesn't care for Slow Forever. I hope his review extends to Cobalt's entire catalog, because I'm fairly confident he'll like Gin and EoB
>>66039338
Malibu is a nice album
Human Performance was kind of disappointing. Its a solid release, but after Content Nausea and Monastic Living I really thought they were gonna go in a different direction.
>>66040382
yeah i could barely listen to a few songs off that album
Who cares about 2016 - I just wanna know his thoughts on the big 2015 releases. Was he disappointed by Holter and Newsom? What did he think about TPAB?
>>66039338
based scaruffi taking lamestreamers and p4plebs down a notch once again
>>66040508
does he think he's getting some kind of cred for saying he likes some artists off bandcamp? he could at least find some good ones.
>>66039756
tkol is easily the most accessible radiohead album
>>66040598
http://www.scaruffi.com/ratings/2015.html
strangely he doesn't mention any of them
and the only song in his playlist is beyond alive
absolute fucking madman
Props for rating the Oranssi Pazuzu album
>>66040598
He's busy right now. You just gotta wait.
>blackstar
>overrated
scruffy please, even if he was still alive it'd have been his best album in decades
>>66040956
scaruffi has never really been a huge bowie fan so this doesn't mean much
>>66040633
have you forgotten that their first three albums were radio-friendly alt rock
>>66040996
i thought he was an unbiased critic
>>66039338
Wrong but debatable about Radiohead and completely dead wrong about Bowie so no not at all
>>66041025
that means he has to love every bowie release? i predict he'll give blackstar a higher rating than most of bowie's other releases, or one that's at least on par, but that doesn't mean he can't find it overrated in the grand scheme of music.
>>66039845
imo and imho are not exclusive to /mu/
My dad explained to me what imho stood for when I was 10 in 2005
He's 99% right, ToD is aoty
>>66039747
this
>>66041130
i can only imagine the fascinating conversations you have with your father
gag me with a spoon
>>66039338
>imho
This dude definitely browses mu, also he is straight up the protagonist from losing my edge, since everyone got his music knowledge with the internet he has to go super contrarian now
>>66039338
What a madman patrician.
>>66041762
He posted on a lot of message boards in the 90s, he's 55 rn though
>>66039338
Yes I liked Human Preformance but it isnt AOTY worthy
>>66039756
Dude, bad taste. HTTT is amazing once the clutterness starts to clear up, it's one of my favorite Radiohead albums now.
Also the second half of TKOL is amazing, it grows on you.
I can understand your dislike of In Rainbows though.
>>66039338
He's probably gonna pan Moon Shaped Pool
suck my penis
>>66039756
AMSP is pretty bland. It's a safe step, they just made what they know they do well and added the orchestra.
AMSP is to Radiohead what AM was to Arctic Monkeys
>>66043305
I don't know, the song structures aren't necessarily conventional and it's not overtly melodic - they seem to have focused more on timbre and atmosphere. It's not my favorite by them, but I don't know about safe.
>>66043052
HTTT is my favorite of those three. I'm with you on that, I appreciate the clusterfuck quality. But I just don't like TKOL or IR that much, and I think AMSP slightly edges out HTTT
>>66040458
its accessibly "nice"
Better question is, will he give out an 8 this year?
Another 8.5+ this decade?
would the albums he liked be at least rated a 6.5 or a 7?
>>66039455
>>66039661
Moon Shaped Pool was one of the most boring albums I have ever heard.
>>66042081
Funny, he didn't like Losing My Edge much since it had "zero melodic development"
>>66039338
Oranssi Pazuzu's album might turn out to be one of my all time favorites.
>>66039338
Stott should be in the bottom list. Otherwise perfect taste as usual with Scaruffi.
>>66044704
"boring" isn't a valid criticism, as it describes the state of the listener and not the qualities of the music.
