no but WeepingBanana you don't understand art is objective and can and should be analysed and viewed from the perspective of an educated art historian

everyone who just blindly enjoys music is doing it wrong

well, even you subscribe to this view to some extent. a knowledge of the historical context and network of influences involved in a piece of music is vital to a deeper appreciation of its significance. sure, some music can be enjoyed at the level of sheer immediacy, but unless one is willing to go beyond first impressions and acquaint oneself with the band and the genre out of which it emerged, the music can be apprehended only superficially



for example, with your own Owl City review -- the entire joke of your review is dependent on a knowledge of the Postal Service's prior musical achievements. if one just listens to Owl City and simply enjoys them without knowing that they sound virtually identical to the Postal Service, he wouldn't be able to see that Owl City are a complete ripoff



my emphasis on the importance of historical consciousness is just of a higher order



YOU CAN'T FUCKING APPLY A MATH PROBLEM TO THE QUALITY OF AN ALBUM. IT'S NOT A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS SOLVING. IT'S A FUCKING PREFERENCE. IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU LISTEN TO, TAKE IN, AND MAKE A PERSONAL DECISION IF YOU ENJOY IT OR NOT.




check the math dude

when i read all the history bits with the rise of "primitive accumulation" and all the "bourgeoisie" shit, I smiled a bit.

i'm not just talking about the actual math problem at the end. the way he approaches listening to music is like a math problem in that there is only one right answer. and if he wrote this whole review to get a rise out of people like me then that's more than a little gay

the fact that MJ is against a whole genre destroys any validity or 'objectivity' in his review. Its just a biased account of an album of an entire genre he doesnt SUBJECTIVELY like. So the whole notion that is some sort of objective judgement of how good this album is is a complete and utter joke.

MJ what you fail to realise in your post addressed to me is that the majority of my audience have
heard of the Postal Service. The majority of people posting here don't give a fuck about whatever
maxims you (or anyone you can namedrop) fix onto objective artistic merit.

You don't understand people. At all. This doesn't come as a surprise to me.

This is a massive review. And it's shit. Sorry.

You have some form of autism.
