Jonathan Morales
none of these are obscure
a deft outing of the self as both a music pleb and a tv pleb, good job user
Ryder Lee
it's been up since yesterday, dummy
what the fuck did you expect? lol
Fear Inoculum is their worst/most boring album yet, honestly surprised he didn't give that shit a 4/10 since 10,000 Days was better desu

listening to shitty music and watching trash movies is not replacement for personality

Holy shit is that AOTD?

I meant the films they chose as Palm dO'r winners, not the actual festival. It's always the most hipster choice instead of the best films in competition.
Oliver Bailey
lol
Nathan Sullivan
That Taj Mahal record was already a 8 though. It’s great obviously.
Julian Perez
i guess

Jayden Nelson
Cannes film festival is the only festival worth noting
if I see only one film a year, I'm watching the Palm D'or.
However, on some years I did watch 300 films, but skipped the AA Best Picture
Gabriel Wilson
>50 minutes of wooshing noises scores highest
glad these professional music critics are doing the sifting for me

how was that new JPEGMAFIA album?

Tools get rekt
Benjamin Rodriguez
Does it really matter at this point? P4K, Fantano, now Scaruffi, surely Christgau if he ever reviews it, none of them liked FI.
Bentley Long
what do you define as shitty? something that intimidates you because you haven't heard of it and people more qualified than you say it's good?
Zachary Lopez
wow kill yourself
Hunter Taylor
Where is Daughters review
Joseph Green
he'll only give it a 6.5 or 7/10 at the very highest
there's literally nothing on that album that hasn't been done already on dozens of albums that Scaruffi has given 8/10+'s to in the past
Juan Ward
RYM scruffites disagree. You would be surprised to know that Scaruffi gets advice from his drones.
Jacob Cook
>Bruce Hornsby, Absolute Zero - 7/10
Nice.
Joseph Rodriguez
>he only considers 2 out of the 6 albums good or great
>he's gone soft
Gabriel Gray
where is norman fucking rockwell?
Ethan Edwards
there's no way in god's green earth that Scaruffi will give an unoriginal-sounding album like YWGWYW an inflated score, and no amount of coping is going to make that happen

>The appeal of the ten-minute Fear Inoculum lasts less than three minutes: Danny Carey's tablas and Adam Jones' doom-y oscillating guitar rumble open for a syncopated funk rhythm and Keenan's litany, but then the band doesn't seem to know where to go.
Scruffy's basically just confirming what most people with taste have been saying since the single dropped
Gavin Rodriguez
listen to more music plebs
Oliver Ward
Those guys ( & ) were referring to the fact that the user thought that the July 15, 1972 album came out this year, hence him thinking that Scaruffi would give it AOTY, you absolute fucking retard.
Xavier Watson
good bait, user.

>After a hiatus of 13 years, Tool released its fifth album, Fear Inoculum (2019), an 80-minute juggernaut that contains six lengthy pieces and a brief instrumental. The appeal of the ten-minute Fear Inoculum lasts less than three minutes: Danny Carey's tablas and Adam Jones' doom-y oscillating guitar rumble open for a syncopated funk rhythm and Keenan's litany, but then the band doesn't seem to know where to go. The eleven-minute Pneuma begins again with percussion and guitar chiseling an exotic ambient atmosphere but then, again, the times goes by without much happening (the instrumental break for tabla and synth is an amateurish interlude). >The 13-minute Invincible opens with the sounds of storm and ocean, and then turns into a melodic power-ballad with atmospheric synth lines; certainly classy pop-metal, but not exactly revolutionary. The 15-minute 7empest begins and ends with a clock-like ticking of guitar and percussion. In between it chugs along with Black Sabbath-ian ferocity, but, other than Jones' guitar workout, it quickly becomes uninteresting. Keenan's sermons are luckily left in the background, while Carey remains a force of nature for the whole 80 minutes, and Jones turns every riff into an epic project. But this album is mostly filled with a lot of dejavu.
Scaruffi echoing some of the smarter anons here, like me. Danny Carey is the ultimate piece of the puzzle. If an album's success depended upon his ability to drum then every Tool album would be perfect. He's 10/10 on every track they've ever made. The problem is the songwriting and Maynard DRAGGING his ass.
