Can someone explain to me why this hack is respected again? is it just because got a column on noisey so now nu-males have to like him to appear trendy?

Because he has been a critic longer than most.

His opinions are well articulated, yet very creative, like a child just getting into music for the first time: he manages to describe albums using well-composed terse of anecdotes, ideas and sentiments.

>His opinions are well articulated

lol

His stuff is all online, his site is quick to load and he has various tiresome and dated prejudices about music that make him ideal for starting arguments.

He's very funny and has a unique writing style for a music reviewer

>is it just because got a column on noisey so now nu-males have to like him to appear trendy?
Do you have to think there's an alternative motive for everything? lol

he was there at cbgb first show and at greenwitch mean village

He has some dud reviews that are cherry-picked non-stop by detractors. Do your hasty judgments and ineloquent moments represent you well?

He, on occasion, can fit the one single overarching sentiment that perfectly describes an album into a sentence or two, which is impressive. Does that make him the most insightful and useful reviewer overall? Probably not, but it makes him fun to read.

why do brainlets hate the dean so much? there are tons of critics out there, but he gets nothing but shit here when he's not even very relevant anymore. im guessing it's his disdain for metal.

>trendy

yeah maybe in the 70s

>why do brainlets hate the dean so much?

I guess he likes black music and doesn't like metal so that offends Sup Forumstards?
