2. I read one of your album reviews once, I can't recall which one because it was a while ago.

That's because I've only posted one on this website. It was for Danny Brown's XXX. I never posted any more, because no one really seemed to give a fuck, but here's a review of Boards of Canada's Music Has the Right to Children as well. I have more.

There's also my game reviews, all of which have been received quite well, if you care to check those out (I mean, you did use the word "anything"). They're written from the perspective of someone who thinks of video games as an art form, so bear that in mind.

I'll address your other (shitty, poorly-articulated, hypocritical, and self-defeating) points later.

I agree with you on experimenting in music. If it isn't good, then the experimenting you have done is pointless.
"If it isn't good, it's bad."

No shit

Well yeah. But some people don't think that way.

I love when my favorite artists experiment. I enjoy varying degrees of consistency and freshness ergo listing to songs with orthodox song structures and time signatures can end up boring me if I stick to them solely. I also like to see how creative people can get. However, I do enjoy a good melody and rhythm, and if shit just doesn't flow right for me then It won't grab me so I suppose I do have some standards when it comes to experimenting with music.

Peeps can make w/e tf kinda music they want though. I'm just not guaranteed to listen.

Lol that BoC review.

Aquatic? LOL. Spooky synth chords on Eagle in your Mind? Literally what.

Juvenile.

They're called "adjectives," kid. You use them to describe things. It's a part of good writing.

Let's see some of your reviews, and I'll pick it apart by pointing out asinine shit, too, you autistic fuck.

Adjectives that do not in any way fit the music at all.

Except they do. Demonstrate to me how they don't.

I don't write reviews, especially not on music, because I am aware that I'm not articulate enough to do so.

LOL stupid cunt

can't even write a simple review

Verbatim · January 12, 2016, 02:49:49 PM

"I disagree with your interpretation of the music, so it's wrong."

Yeah, I'm the juvenile one.

Demonstrate to me how they do. The album does not sound "underwater" and the chords on Eagle in Your Mind are not spooky. I don't know what possessed you to use those adjectives. It's insane. Everything else is basically just /mu/tard regurgitation. "It's nostalgic and shit mannnn" yeah I know, bring something new to the table or don't write a shitty review.

The only reason I wrote that particular review was because someone basically requested it. Someone wanted to know my thoughts on the record. I had no knowledge whatsoever of BoC before they introduced me, so no, I wasn't regurgitating anything or anyone.

Reviews aren't about bringing "new shit" to the table, you fucking idiot. That's the music's job. If everyone thinks the same way about a particular record, that's just the way it is. I was unaware of the general opinion of this record going in, and I still don't really know.

Also, repeating your opinion over and over and turning the question around on me is a pretty shit way to argue.

I asked you first.

Everybody on Earth thinks that way.

Plenty of pretentious assholes like experimental music solely because it is experimental.

Most people like what their selected music says about them.

I like Take That, what does that say about me

Write it based on your completely 100% subjective opinion of the music

which is precisely what i did, you dumb fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Quote

(which will be unique).

not necessarily

Quote

2. Only discuss its objective qualities.

or both

why the fuck can't you do both

Quote

you clearly have a juvenile understanding of the music, calling the chords "spooky" being my favorite example.

i called the chords spooky because the chords were spooky

LISTEN--THAT'S SOME SPOOKY-ASS SHIT RIGHT THERE

and i don't mean "spooky" as in "scary"--i mean ethereal, ghost-like, or mysterious

listen to the fucking music--listen to how those synth layers slooowly creep in, creating a distinct sense of unease--this is juxtaposed by the more energetic, very mechanical percussion, which, to me, highlights and contrasts well with the very organic spookiness of that underlying synth layer

i wonder if you know what "juxtaposition" even is

so if the song doesn't feel spooky to you, i don't know what the fuck it feels like, but however it makes you feel, you felt the wrong way (objectively) (let me just piss on everything you've ever thought about music, because everything you've ever thought about music is bullshit) (how about that)

fuckhead

I am officially never arguing with Verbatim about music again because it is frustrating and a waste of my time I could spend listening to music.

Arguing with verb about anything.
