Good for him. Controversial reviews MAKE a reviewer. For example, Scaruffi was noticed because of his take on The Beatles. A critic that just goes with the critical consensus is boring
Album is still a 10 though
Thoughts?
Fagtano really out here tryna be the next Scaruffi or some shit
he doesn't get the lyrics it's 9
What about For Her? If I am to adopt the experiences od the singer, who's experiences do I adopt in that song. Fiona openly expresses that the lyrics in that song aren't hers, and her attempt to internalize them makes it an altogether weaker song, as it struggles to identify with an individual "her", and a group of women who got "raped" by their partners. Ultimately the song comes across as half baked and accusatory, and the tonal contradictions hurt it lyrically. Then immediately after this song, you get Drumsets, which is a song that is waay too personal to the extent of being am almost inside joke.
How do I relate to a song that stands out completely from the rest of the album in lyrical complexity, that essentially is about something that not even your average woman could relate to?
A way more accurate score than what pitchfork gave
Sometimes it really does seem to me like I live in a bizzaro universe. I can't even comprehend the motivation of the outrage. Are the people freaking out even really humans?
I think it's pretty accurate score and I'm glad he didn't give in for the hype, and didn't exploit the opportunity to have a safe female 10/10 in his catalogue
I'm not planning to listen to the record.
he's a sexist dismissing albums made by women in favor of trash like deathgrips??>??
