WHY are reviews for music SO FAR off?!

NONE OF THEM CAN BE TRUSTED.

They don't want to say anything bad about anyone, especially if they have their noses up certain producers and DJ's asses.

Discuss!

[badkitty3804]

Musical taste is subjective and people will have their bias.

Listen to the music, use reviews as a guide, not fact.

[twochordcool]

Yeah but the reviews are AALLWWAAYYSS to the artists favor - AALLWWAAYYSS.

And a record that really should be a 3 out of 10 is given a 9 out of 10.

Look at Holden's "The Idiots Are Winning" or Jimmy Van M's Balance CD - UTTER TRASH - yet the reviewers ALWAYS grade them as if Christ himself made the music.

It's just fucking ridiculous.

Maybe when we can start calling a turd a turd we can get around to having higher expectations and producers will start making some better music.

Afterall, that is why I never became involved in producing myself, because I know that I don't have it in me and I am "humble" enough to accept that.

It's also the reason that, even though I own 2000 records, I won't refer to myself as a DJ - until I tweak the things that are still bugging me and get out there and make people dance and make some money.

And before you attack me, I think the former is far more important than the latter (making people dance).

[Heider]

i've done a small bit of record reviewing in the past, and i'll say that most of my reviews were positive because i only picked records i liked. why should i go out of my way and bring light to a tune that i thought sucked.

if you're talking about reviews on record store sites, then yes they are all gonna be positive because they wanna sell records.

[twochordcool]

No, not record stores, but the people and websites that I listed, that have no incentive whatsoever to be lenient or kind in their reviews, other than to not hurt people's feelings.

I don't rely on reviews anyway, but 99% of the time after reading the reviews and getting around to listen to the reviewed music I'm left scratching my head and actually kinda pissed off.

Movie critics would be out of a job if they were "nice" about movies and people went and afterwards thought, "what the FUCK was that guy smoking?"

I mean, HOW CAN you call that Holden record a 9? It's atrocious. Can we PLEASE stop with this blatant stupidity?

[zartan]

if you aren't positive, you don't get the free discs.

That's a good, and obvious point. People are going to review things, because they want that positive review out there. Unless you're vengeful, why go to something you're not going to enjoy? The point is to sell the record.

[Cortex]

Man, I've read plenty of negative reviews on Resident Advisor. But at the same time, the Balance series is a creation of Australia, if I'm not mistaken, as is Resident Advisor - and that site does seem a bit biased towards their fellow countrymen.

Myself, I review music for FunkyHouseMusic.com, and most of my reviews are positive. It's because I have only so much time to review tracks, so the ones that jump out at me are the ones that are great and I want to share with everyone. I usually only give negative reviews if I feel strongly negative about something - like if I was let down by a favorite producer or dj, etc.

[empath]

There is so much new music released every week that they don't review everything. They generally just review the good stuff. Why waste time on crap?

[spiggums]

I still think one of the best reviews I ever read was for Ministry's Filth Pig

I think it was in AP... and it went something like this:
Ministry - Filth Pig (Warner/WEA) - Shit.

If you want to read music reviews that aren't always positive, read the Onion's AV club or Pitchfork Media.

[RickyRicardo]

Needless to say (and it's already been said....ad-naseum), music criticism is a hopelessly subjective task. In fact, if you read most of what critics write...or at least, the really bad ones..you see that much of the objective in their writings isn't necessarily to review music, but rather convince the reader that they possess sufficient authority to make judgments about popular culture. To achieve this effect, critics engage in an almost acrobatic levels of navel-gazing, by engaging the following obnoxious habits:

- constantly referencing obscure bands long shoved down the memory hole,
- identifying (or even making up) new niche sub-sub-subgenres, musical trends, and even the social theories that are supposed to spawn them,
- turning artist/band names into adjectives by ending them w/ -like or -que (Dylanesque, Tupac-like),
- using half-baked ideas from critical theory to ascribe a deeper meaning into whatever their subject is (though the real purpose is to make sure that you see them name-checking Foucault and Jameson....oooooo, very fucking impressive)

yes...i hold an incredibly dim view of most music critics. I think the words "I liked it" or "I didn't like it", would be sufficient for about 99% of the "reviews" out there.

I still like reading music reviews.....in fact, I even wrote a couple myself, once.

Hello my mentally retarded friend.

I don't NEED the mags to tell me ANYTHING.

Of course I buy what "I" like - but it would be NICE if you could rely on reviews for a reference.

Like anything else I can tell what's good and what's not.

I ACKNOWLEDGE there might be things in between that some may love and others may hate.

BUT THERE IS DEFINITELY garbage out there getting favorable reviews - I'd be willing to bet both my nuts on it.

My favorite band is U2 and only a real moron would say they "suck"!

With The Cure, The Smiths, New Order and The Smashing Pumpkins as 2, 3, 4 and 5 I don't think you can seriously say ANY of them suck!

there's plenty of amazing new things happening in music over the last few years... just because you can't find them, or can't appreciate them makes it no less so...

No YOU are mentally retarded for taking art and attributing your opinions on it as if they are indeed fact. I understand your parents didnt pay enough attention to you and its manifesting itself in snobby music elitism to make you feel good about yourself. The point you are missing is this: nobody on this board gives a fuck about your opinion.

[uberclkgtr]

Respect your elders and heed the years of knowledge and wisdom!

you give us no reason to respect you (or your musical taste) as we know nothing about you except that you bitch and moan about music being bad. i invite you to contribute to the the forum with your years of knowledge and wisdom instead of annoying the few posters on here that love music and post in the musica forums.

i'm no spring chicken (31 yrs old), but i can appreciate that music changes, taste is subjective, and individual tastes change as you get older. you would not have heard me listening to johnny cash or tom waits 5 years ago, but that's just because i didn't know any better. now i do. i used to DJ progressive, but i haven't bought a progressive track in over a year. i'm digging all sorts of drum n' bass right now though.

everytime i get bored with the music i'm currently listening to or fed up with dance music producers that i've liked in the past but currently am not feeling, some other music comes along and piques my interest. but i have to actively search for it more often than not. bitching and moaning about how music sucks will get you nowhere.

so please, join in the discussion of music instead of being that jaded dude in the corner who thinks he knows everything but is unwilling to share. heck, if you discuss music instead of panning it, you might even learn something from the young 'uns and discover some new music that gets you movin'. =)

[NightWatch]

A lot of dance music reviews are written from a very narrow focus of a particular genre or sub-scene or whatever. Most of the time a lot of those records can't stand on their own when you put them out there to compete with all types of music. A lot of records that are reviewed seem to have a very specific purpose and are almost reviewed as DJ tools rather than actual music.

dude.

seriously.

but the fact that he's making tunes that are being played by the #1 dj in the world should tell you something (holy shit i stood up for john c!).

i'm with james. contribute something, or simply put, shut the fuck up.

i had a whole post today with links to tunes that came out this year that might remind you of shit from yesterday, but i decided that it wouldnt do any fucking good anyways, so i just deleted it without posting.

you are like, the uber house/dnb elitist, but worse. worse not because you prefer a certain type of music, but worse because you can't step out of the past, and refuse to acknowledge that music is more awesome RIGHT NOW than any time in the past 6 years.

i used to be like you, up until, say, 2003, when my friend marco introduced me to splitloop. they ar the reason i started spinning newer tunes. they are the reason i opened my eyes to all the cool shit coming out that i was missing. open your fucking ears chief, you're so stuck on shit from yesterday, that you are missing the biggest boom in electronic music in years.

2chordFool: its ok to say "only prog house moves me and im disappointed in the direction music has gone to. im not feeling shit lately". However if u go back and read ur posts, you'd realize ur being an ass who is dictating that everybody should have ur opinion on music and if if u dont like it, it absolutely sucks. learn the difference jackass. if u dont like a dj fine, u dont have to post how much u hate em. ur negativity doesnt prove useful or constructive in any way. it just cries of a kid who didnt get enough love as a child. Plus, obviously people are digging today's shit otherwise it wouldn't be selling and people would be listening to it. Common sense.
