Post scaruffi scores that make you consider suicide

>>66110731
He's right you know
>Pablo Honey equal to Kid A
He just doesn't get it.
>>66110731
>>66110796
>>66110811
Scaruffi hates pop music without an edge, these scores shouldn't surprise you at all.
>>66110796
reminder
>>66110811
Which album of theirs should I listen to
>>66110848
then why does he praise Jefferson Airplane so highly
>>66110881
Propeller
Bee Thousand
Alien Lanes
Under the Bushes Under the Stars
Isolation Drills
>>66110910
Cool
>>66110910
MISSING VAMPIRE ON TITUS
HOLY FUCKING REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>66110881
Vampire on Titus
>>66110731
And yet scruffi raves about comparable mercury rev releases
Not only infuriating but nonsensical
>>66110731
A 6 means he sorta liked it
>>66110981
Mercury Rev > Flaming Lips
I had the opposite opinion when I was new to /mu/
>>66110943
literally nothing wrong with this picture though
Literally eat shit old man
Is Scaruffi the only man to have indirectly caused so much triggering on /mu/?
Based t b h
>>66111087
it takes literally zero effort to trigger anyone here
here's one example: "pitchfork recent trend of giving black artists high ratings is a good thing"
>>66111269
Yeah, but you don't see constant threads and posts about that
>>66111289
are you looking at the same board as me?
>tfw scruffy likes your favorite band
Feels good man.
>>66110981
Mercury Rev is waaaaayyyyy better than flaming lips, silly newfag
>Soundtracks for the Blind only an 8/10
>The Seer 6/10
>To be Kind 6.5/10
Reminder that the more you're triggered by an opinion, the higher the chance that you're a newfag and/or have shit taste
>>66111346
this board is all fucking kpop and grimes memes there is literally no real discussion here
and before i get a retarded (you) no you're wrong /daily/ is just tripfags trying to out hipster each other and its fucking embarrassing
>>66111561
an 8 on his scale means its a masterpiece.
>Surfer Rosa higher than Doolittle
That's the only one that springs to mind
Does this guy like any music?
>>66111561
He's not gonna inflate scores just for your precious albums.
Besides, an 8 for him is REALLY good.
>>66111020
>Station to Station
>6/10
>>66111596
>At the end of the millennium it becomes more and more evident that Trout Mask Replica is the only record of rock music worth listening to.
>>66111269
Nobody actually does that.
what does he think of mj?
>>66110875
wtf
why are they so high?
Is Fugazi patrician?
Also, to make it worse, he rated it this way based on how funny it was. Fuckin hell scruffy.
has he ever given a 10 though?
>>66113329
Scaruffi rates on an absolute scale. A 10 would have to be the best album ever.
why is everyone so butthurt his 6s literally mean "listen if you're a fan"
if you're a fan then that means he's recommending the album to you
Every Scaruffi rating
>>66111020
>Korn rated higher than a 3
His problem should be obvious. Any one who isn't 12 knows Korn is trash.
>>66113329
he has given three 9.5s, and has given like 28 9s.
>>66111012
>>66111500
i dunno, clouds taste metallic is really good. but yerself is steam is better
>>66110981
Mercury Rev's first two albums are ages ahead of anything The Flaming Lips ever did.
Is he right?
>>66113187
because he likes kanye west
>>66110731
>music critic
>hates 99% of music
>>66113607
no he doesn't
>>66113516
Yes
>>66113785
ok good talk
>>66111591
but it's true
>>66113607
>>hates 99% of music
[citation needed]
Nah bruh
>>66114183
>[citation needed]
here's your citation
*unzips*

P4kiddie detected
>>66111596
He probably has a deeper appreciation for music than anyone on /mu/
People like to meme that he doesn't enjoy anything, but in reality he admires an extremely diverse range of musical styles. How any other critics have high praise for nu metal alongside contemporary classical?
>>66113446
>three 9.5s
which albums?
is there a way to view the albums he's given certain scores?
>>66114555
This. He also isn't afraid to rate obscure genres highly and unconditionally praise them, which is something I admire. He has a pretty unique taste and it a lot better than many critics out there (definitely better than anyone from NME or P4K).
That being said
>Scaruffi thinks your favourite band is garbage
Hold me bros
>>66113187
>can they get much higher
>>66114618
*meant obscure albums
>>66114599
literally scaruffi.com
>>66114599
>which albums?
Trout Mask Replica
Rock Bottom
Faust I
>>66114618
What band?
>>66114676
+TVU&N but that got switched back to a 9

>>66114721

>7

>garbage
>>66114721
hahahah
>>66114695
Manic Street Preachers. Then again, their best stuff is quite based on their lyrics and Scaruffi doesn't seem to give them much importance.
>>66114721
i admire your honesty
>>66114758
Oh ok, Ignore this >>66114749 then...
>>66113260
>Repeater
I had no clue
I am very curious as to what he'd think of Wildflower
Do you agree with him giving a 7.5 to Korn or?
>>66110796
considering Kid A is the most overrated modern album (along with MBDTF), he's right
>>66114972
>along with MBDTF
He gave MBDTF a 7.5 which is the highest he's ever given a hip-hop album.
>>66114995
I never said scaruffi wasn't a retard, I just said those 2 albums are extremely overrated
he's right on radiohead though, amnesiac and OKC are their two best but they're not amazing
>>66114995
He have public enemy an 8 actually, nation of millions
>>66114995
It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back (8/10)
>>66113260
they were incredibly consistent in quality, never put out a bad record
>>66111035
godweensatan is their best though
>>66113516
Yep
people don't understand that scaruffi rating scale is normalized and a 6 is above average
>>66111619
Yeah, this one was a shocker. It's a solid 3.
>>66110981
Mercury Rev is the band you transition into after you get enough taste to no longer enjoy The Flaming Lips
>>66115556
this x100
>tfw Scaruffi gave your favorite band a 9, an 8, and the rest 6s
Is there any better feel?
>>66115498
6 means "buy if you're a fan"
Official explanatations for the ratings:
>Ratings: 10=best album ever; 9=rock masterpiece; 8=buy it now; 7=buy it eventually; 6=buy it if you are a fan
>>66111022
everything here should be two points lower
>>66113260
yup
>>66110811
these are good scores for him, especially given their consistency
>>66110731
>Zaireeka anything higher than a zero
what a joke
I don't understand his emphasis on originality. Who gives a shit about chronological order. If I took a black sharpie to all of the release dates in scruffi's record collection he wouldn't have a fucking clue what was good anymore
>>66113387
So he recommends Pablo Honey to Radiohead fans but not In Rainbows? Top kek.
>>66116766
Listening to Flaming Lips is more embarrassing desu
>>66115691
Red House Painters?
Morphine?
Gun Club?
>>66114721
>ranked 30 on his "The greatest bands of the 1990s" list
>garbage
>>66118024
Yeah it's RHP
Scaruffi is never wrong.
>>66118070
rhp is my favorite as well
real scruffy talk here, who all here claiming some bets on 2015 and 2016 releases? Life of Pablo he dismissed so I feel like he'll end up giving it a 5 at best especially after destroying Yeezus. He hasn't said anything about darling favorites Julia Holter and especially Joanna Newsom. Oh god, can we get a 9 from him since 1997? I doubt it, but maybe a 7 for the new newsom record and since he didn't like the last Holter record that much, this new one isn't much different and it's apparent scruffy liked the bed-room pop aesthetic so maybe even a 5 or 6 again.
What do you guys think? More patrician metal albums that will score 7, 7.5 and even 8's? A metal 8.5? is there such thing as a metal 8.5? close I think is Downward Spiral.
>>66118106
I think Old Ramon deserved a 7 on his scale but other than that yeah he's about right most the time
>>66117942
Not to Scaruffi.
>>66118134
and also when will he god-damn realize that Leaves Turn Inside You is not a fucking 7. I know by his standards it should be the very least a 7.5. He originally gave it a 6, bumped it to a 7 and honestly if he listened to it again - i think he'd give it that 7.5
>>66118106
He really likes Unrest, one of my favorite bands. And I was stunned to find he really likes them. Feels good, man.
>>66118134
Divers has the highest chance of having the higher score for the year. As for Holter, I can't even begin to guess what he will give it, he might surprise all of us. HYIMW was a lot "poppier" than her previous releases, but it was more confident and well-arranged than LCS IMO. He gave a 7 to St. Vincent's S/T for similar reasons.
TLOP will probably be given a 5 or even lower as expected.
>>66118191
I'm surprised he has Fake Train so far ahead of the rest of their shit.
>>66118419
idk i can kind of see it. but honestly, i'm surprised he doesn't have the same feelings for new plastic ideas. It's like a better version of Fake Train. I think that one should also be an 8 in his canon.
>tfw scruffy gave laughing stock the same rating as avenged sevenfold
>>66118535
>It's like a better version of Fake Train.
My thoughts exactly. I think he likes the tracks like Star Spangled Hell and Lucky Acid a lot.
daily reminder that scaruffi is just a gigantic narcisistic impostor
I simply refuse to believe he could spend enough time actually listening attentively to all the massive ammount of music he claims to listen to the point of being able to offer a meaningful review.
And nevermind the supposed massive ammounts of books he reads and all the voyages he does, plus his actual work
>>66110943
>Pet Sounds
>7/10
why is it that high? approaching it critically, it's terrible. The only reason people like it is some sense of nostalgia.
>>66111412
I agree. Soul Coughing is top tier
>>66118892
Nostalgia for when you didn't live? You need to elaborate on this whacky comment
>>66118831
nah, I think what he really does is just listen to an album once, maybe twice and rates/reviews it. So with oneohtrix, he didn't see anything special. And honestly, I would agree. The guy isn't that great. He's not bad but he's mostly just boring. I would personally change replica to a 6.5 and R Plus Seven to a 6 tho.
Scaruffi really likes Pixies, I did not expect this. Is it out of place, not too familiar with his taste. Seemed a bit weird considering his top albums
>>66116766
Aww it looks like you haven't listened to enough music to understand :/ maybe try them again in a few months
>>66118999
>not being 60 years old

>>66119003
OPN is pretty trivial when you've listened to as much experimental electronic shit as Scaruffi has.
>>66114892
Probably a 4/10
>>66119024
He loves college 80s indie rock and the gun club so his fancy with the pixies is not that surprising
>>66119038
mercury rev are good but flaming lips are better. MR is le epic contrarian pick (like someone as yourself who has been on /mu/ for < 2 yrs)
>>66110731
A six is decent and he's right about At War With the Mystics. I personally like Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi more than him, though.
>>66119003
>>66119071
tell me what you find more interesting when it comes to experimental electronic then
>>66110731
i completely agree. the soft bulletin does not deserve all the praise that it gets
scaruffi has awful taste... why do you need to know what he thinks of music released by labels owned by major labels? it's all a scam
ITT: dumbasses who don't understand how Scaruffi rates albums
>>66119589
honestly, my guess is that the only minimally valid reviews from scarmemeruffi are about music released in the 70's and 80's. And even then, only some stuff is legitimately valid
The guy has no fucking clue what he's doing most of the time.
He simply shits out reviews based on what he reads at worst, and from cursory, half-attentive listenings at best
But of course, here in /mu/ you'll have teenagers giving him any credit because he supposedly listens to a shitton of music so he must be good... Its pathetic.
Scaruffi simply lacks an ounce of critical thought. Not just in music but in everything. The guy is just a narcisistic dope
>>66111035
Quebec that low? for shame
>>66119668
yep - he lost the plot in the 90s, if not the 80s, and it is really narrow in taste... look at the bands people are looking up. Flaming Lips? Who cares?

>implying that's why I found your comment cringey
>implying it wasn't because of the multiple logical fallacies and buzzwords
>>66120085
>multiple logical fallacies
m8, I'm not making an ontological argument about anything
I'm just dissing a reviewer. If you find Scaruffi coherent or worthy of importance, good for you.
I dont.
Prove me how I'm wrong and I'll be listening, if not dont post ridiculous greentexts about "logical fallacies" and non existent buzzwords in some post presenting an opinion
>>66111561
nothing wrong with those ratings
>>66113516
https://rateyourmusic.com/list/rainnyday/scaruffis_fallen_8s/
he rated oh my gawd and hear it is an 8 at one point. Scaruffi respects flaming lips, but not the albums most people would consider their best.
>>66114643
>so high
