Surely you can't agree with EVERYTHING you said in your 1000+ reviews. And yes, I know you have your "10 times I changed my mind" series.

[@TheRandomBiscuit]

@@Foulbrood yeah... OP already mentioned that.

[@skykindaguy]

Let’s Argue: Saying “Your review is invalid because you don’t get what ‘X’ artist was going for” is a cheap way to try to take away the validity of someone’s opinion on a record. Most music fans have the basic rudimentary skills to deduce what they like, and don’t like, REGARDLESS of knowing what the artist was “going for”. Melon didn’t dislike Swimming because he’s out of touch, he just didn’t like the record that much, and that’s okay.

[@aphyTTR]

But he literally said it was "emotionally vacant" in his review. He literally had no clue what was going on within the record.

[@narlabegins]

There's a huge difference between "I dislike this" and "this is bad." You don't need to know what an artist is trying to do to say you didn't enjoy it, but if you're saying something's bad, you're saying it failed on what it was trying to achieve or it just didn't work as a concept, and if so, you have to understand what said intention was.

Agree with the Carrie and Lowell gripe. That album is one of the most beautifully written collection of songs I've heard for as long as I can remember. Wven if you don't end up as emotionally attached to it as some other people, you should at least be able to appreciate the sheer level of songwriting and lyricism.

[@TRENKROM]

Why again? It pales so much in comparison to Seven Swans, or really any of his other work. Its beautiful, but that beautiful. Its leaning on the subject matter way too much.

[@joeboonmusic4004]

@@TRENKROM Agree to disagree :) I love his other work, but for me Carrie and Lowell is a culmination of all I love about his former albums. The production is beautiful but reserved; the songs are perfectly paced and never too long; the ambient links between songs are gorgeous and (again) understated. I think it feels like a creatively more mature album than anything he's done in the past. It took him from a great artist, in my estimations, to my favourite living artist. I love Seven Swans but I prefer the rich production of C & L. I engineer a lot and always find myself wondering how on earth they got such beautiful sounds. For me it's a perfect album, but I appreciate that you and I will have different tastes. I don't, however, agree in any way that it leans on the subject matter too much. For me that's like saying that Elliott Smith writes about depression too much, or that Feist writes about love too much.

[@TRENKROM]

@@amremorse What I mean is that its beautiful because the subject matter is beautiful, not because the lyricism or sound is particularly amazing.

[@burieddagger8064]

People keep saying its too one dimensional but i think this is a somewhat surface level analysis of the music (not even getting into the subject matter right now). I personally think the song writing is just as varied and dynamic as other sufjan records, but in a more restrained and refined way. I love the album because it is intricate but understated, and not over done, preferring delicate and simple arrangements to unnecessary complexity. I truly find it to be sufjan's best work, taking all the power of his various previous works and distilling it. It's sufjan at his most intimate, both lyrically and musically speaking, and i think the criticism that it is one dimensional comes from comparing it with some of his more theatrical and over the top work.

[@jay-r6744]

Even the care for me explaination was short and vague lol. I'm on board with most of Fantanos reviews and I'm not a guy who gets too butthurt about someone not liking something I liked, but that Saba review was straight lazy and disappointing.

Whenever Anthony discusses The Ooz, he never mentions the lyrics and I'm wondering why? It's really the crux of the album. The instrumentals meander in order to put the spotlight on what he's saying--like a folk singer who repeats a basic chord progression as they tell a story. I'm wondering if Anthony's ditestment for King Krule comes from a negligence towards Archie's (rather poetic) lyricism.

[@1986jamesa]

Him and many reviewers like him avoid lyrics and song writing when they can. Its about production first and style second. Technicality and lyricism come up last.

[@Inacatsuit]

Lyrics will always be second to music unless you're talking about literal poetry. Not even the best lyrics can save a song that's not sonically compelling. Dylan, Cohen, Reed, etc...they all sound good/cool first and foremost. P.S. I have never listened to this Krule album in my life, for all I know it sounds great.

[@christiangastelum7035]

I don't see why this should be the case. Like if I reviewed Mount Eerie's "A Crow Looked At Me" and argued that it wasn't very self-produced, most people--critics included--would say that I missed the point. Sometimes, other elements take priority.

[@1986jamesa]

@@Inacatsuit He dosent even consider them second. also, theme has one out on "compelling" music several times. He used to be inconsistent, now he just leans one way. Unless a band is a strictly musical(no vocals)endeavor, the lyrics should always be in the first three category's of rating a song.

@@1986jamesa you say all that when he is basically enamoured with most of mark kozalek's recent output, and in 2 of his most infamous takes (mbdtf and house of balloons) the key detractor were the lyrical themes. The merits of lyricism is all contextual, as with any aspect of an artwork

I think a 5 is a number or two too low but going back and listening to it after Virtual Self and Nurture it’s super clear that he has improved, and if I’m going to call those projects maybe an 8 or 9 I have to dock Worlds for being a little more amateur. I also think it hasn’t aged particularly well, or at least as well as Nurture will. I can still get down do some of the tracks but they seem so “of their time” and feel dated already, where the new material from him sounds so much more conceptual and innovative. Also how I feel about Good Faith from Madeon vs his old music. I think it will be a much more important album for him.
