12.19.12 | Guy rarely gives anything above a 7, so his ratings are kind of strange. |

12.19.12 | I think he seems pretty cool. Sometimes I don't agree with his ratings, but in general I think he has good tastes.
He knows a huge amount about musical theory too, which is like infinite respect points for a music review.
He can be an elitist though. But heck, most of us are from time to time. |

12.19.12 | He's a 3.5 |

12.19.12 | He's pretty cool, I love Cal Chuchesta hahahah having him in the video is the hook to getting me into watching the rest of the review. His ratings are strange though, like you said, I generally don't go off of his advice when checking stuff out. A "light to decent 7" is basically what would be a 9 for anyone else. |

12.19.12 | I love 2, but he's a pretty cool guy most of the time

Pretty much how I feel. And yeah, I usually take his '7' as an 8 or 9. |
RosaParks
12.19.12 | he's a strong 7-8 |

12.19.12 | he's pretty good

but so are almost all reviewers. ESP DOWNER |
Vespiion
12.19.12 | His review of Born This Way is pretty damn funny. Cal definitely makes a lot of his reviews. |
Strider
12.19.12 | Pretty cool reviews. I've discovered a few stuff thanks to him |
Keyblade
12.19.12 | i like his reviews most of the time. his om review baffled me though. can't say i'm a fan of his taste either, but he really digs agalloch so he's cool with me. his vinyl videos are cool too. |
jefflebowski
12.19.12 | i fucking hate the stupid little video effects on his reviews, and there's really no need for the catchphrase, but his reviews are generally well done.
also, advaitic songs didn't exactly get brilliant reviews across the board, so i wouldn't say panning it was particularly controversial |
8bit
12.19.12 | I'm getting AOASIME - Explosions in the Sky on vinyl just because of his vinyl video showing how amazing the art was. |
Vespiion
12.19.12 | ^Holy shit, yes. I love his vinyl series. |
mindleviticus
12.19.12 | he's alright |
FearThyEvil9
12.19.12 | He gave LuLu a 7/10. Good reviewer with just bad taste in music. |
Strider
12.19.12 | I haven't watched any of his vinyl videos, I shall do so now |

I think he has a tattoo of the album art on his arm too. |

12.19.12 | "Sometimes I don't agree with his ratings"
I don't get why people even point this out, if he had the exact same taste as you then why even watch? |

versus what, handing out 8-9's left and right. keeps it interesting when your scale is tougher. |

you only think it's strange because for some reason these days anything below an 8 is bad and anything below a 6 is unlistenable. most reviewers basically review on a 6-10 scale, it's even worse with video games. |

12.20.12 | very talented reviewer.. he is hilarious, and he tends to get at stuff that most music critics wouldn't pick up.. |

MalleusMaleficarum
12.20.12 | hes awesome i smoked a blunt with him
i wish i could make that kind of dough doing what he does but damn hes good at it. the new intros with cal have been pretty awesome lately too |
Deviant.
12.20.12 | His video reviews are fine, but some of his written stuff is terrible. He's great in a really basic (not a negative), conversational way, and he should just stick to that, because that's where his talents clearly lie |
demigod93
12.20.12 | "hes awesome i smoked a blunt with him"
i remember him saying at a blogtv once he didnt smoke weed. glad he's changed that lol
and yeah Cal rules |
gwynbleidd
12.20.12 | He's a pretty cool guy, he seems pretty modest, and he's videos can be pretty funny(Cal is hilarious). |

andcas
12.20.12 | "no you didn't"

Trebor17
12.20.12 | You don't know anyone named Johnny Hopkins
Dale got Hulk Hands ?! |
