apriorion Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 No way. He can fuck off. "Eros"? Give me a break. Don't get me wrong: it's a good album but it's not without its problems. It's just that he's wrong about what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zaphod Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 wait, so does he like mhtrtc? he starts off with a bunch of horseshit about how it's the aural equivalent of a cloud or someshit and then ends the review by saying boc have lost something because they aren't like they used to be. also lol at eros. what a douche.

luke viia Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 lol fuck this guy, wow If the way to listen to what was once called “intelligent” dance music is to imagine ourselves moving to it, I found my imagined self going shopping. Early BoC is carefully, cleanly distressed; each album is like a whole floor of Urban Outfitters. .... The playful nihilism of the early years, that winning formula that made BoC the electronica equivalent of Johnny Depp, so endearingly blank that everyone liked them, has seemingly given way to some grim self-seriousness and dreary melodrama. Maybe they could hire a sassy young intern to click and drag files around for them, update their Facebook page, keep the work atmosphere a little more fun and alive? Or maybe they could just break the formula a little and actually sing a song, strum some guitar, make an actual chase sequence, hire some blazing virtuoso drummer to light a fire under them, or something.

poblequadrat Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 So what does this guy listen to? That track Deer posted sounds like a shitty acoustic cover of something from The Campfire Headphase with a hint of canyon.mid. For what it's worth, I consider MHTRTC to have a murky kind of darkness that even Geogaddi doesn't touch. TH is kind of plasticky to me in fact. edit: seriously mate, what the fuck? that's the worst piano improv i've heard in my life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumpenprol Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I liked the intro quite a bit but then you're right in your description of the rest. Good Morning America talk show music more or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adieu Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I mean I just have issues with a lot that is going on with this person. reviews flying lotus album. Uses the term "brainfeeding" in the review. Reviewing music is stupid in my opinion anyway. Completely antiquated form of journalism. We can all listen to the music now before we buy it. What is the purpose of reviewing it in such a way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adieu Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I feel bad for being such a dick, but I still don't like it. Seems like he hits the wrong notes on more than one occasion to me as well. The only bit I like is the 6:30 part. The whole song should have revolved around that part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
