When was the point where you stopped taking this guy's opinion seriously?

When was the point where you stopped taking this guy's opinion seriously?

*critics seriously
Yeah, that came with me discovering RYM.

never heard of the guy until this site and then avoided him because of it

Pic related, plus the fact that he gave every nicki minaj album an A but didn't give a single AnCo album a letter grade

he's right tho

>catchy, sexy dance pop versus some skinny faggot with an acoustic guitar whining about his feels

^This.

no

christgau doesn't know shit i have no idea how people like him more than scaruffi and even scaruffi has a lot of opinions i disagree with but christgau's just a fucking moron

He gave three stars to that album with the "Everybody Dance Now" song on it.

why are you trying to come for janet? she's more important to the music scene than they ever will be. and yeah she made the better album (velvet rope, control, and rhythm nation are also better than everything they have ever released)

Ask me how I know you've never listened to ITAOTS

Christgau is the ascended state music listener. I've found that as time goes on I've gotten over the attempting to be artsy fartsy stuff and just grown a bigger appreciation for catchy positive pop music, he's not looking for pretentious artistry he like fun music. I don't agree with him on everything, but I find it funny that people on here get upset about him because he doesn't jerk off over every bit of Sup Forumscore and p4k bnm.

that's coz most people here don't even enjoy music. they're just trying to portray a certain image in hopes that it makes up for other...less than satisfactory character/personality traits.

My nigga, I've been referencing his Nikki Minaj ratings for a long time. This man is surely being paid for good reviews right? I see almost no other way around it

It's not that, it's just that often his ratings don't even come close to matching the tone of his "review" (if you can call 2 sentences about an hour long album a review). The guy is a fucking hack who's shit opinions and "" "funny" "" little blurbs have somehow garnered him a following of mongoloids. Pretty obvious he takes himself wayyyyyy too seriously, but tries to protect an air of "I don't even care about any of this at all". Basically he's a gigantic faggot with no worthwhile opinions

You have a lot to learn, user. A LOT.

Like what?

>popularity=quality
I bet you also think Nickelback are better artists because they had more hits and sold more albums than NMH or Slint.

you watch anthony fantano

nice projecting

The thing is, an album like "Janet" only makes sense if you've had sex. That doesn't apply to 85% of Sup Forums which is why bands like Rush and Slint are Sup Forumscore.

Sup Forums is as normie a Sup Forums board as you're likely to find these days. Don't speak for anyone other than yourself. And what universe are you living in where Rush gets discussed on the level Slint gets discussed?
