damn pop magazine
 

corruptor from miami, FL on 2001-10-20 23:21 [#00044025]



why do pop magazines even review other music. In the new
RollingStone review they bashed the new Aphex twin album
saying it is just uncontrolled chaotic noise. Personally I
think they should stick to their boy bands and leave the
reviews up to the magazines who appreciate real music. When
the people at Rollingstone stop kissing the Backstreet Boys
ass maybe then decent music will be reviewed.


 

AstralXP from Netherlands on 2001-10-20 23:29 [#00044026]



I agree. They should stick to their own commercial shit.
Aphex Twin is for pure music lovers, the ones who are
prepared to LISTEN to music (and not just putting a CD in
their CD player) Do I complain about their music? Oh wait, I
do :-D

they have to offer confirmation to the tastes of their
constituency. it's as easy for them to do that by continuing
to define for their audience what they _don't_ and
'shouldn't' like, as to hype what they do.

plus, they're just lazy ass journos with no ears.


 

Jeremy kwhy on 2001-10-21 00:43 [#00044037]



they're the same as you knobs who mention n'sync and
backdoorboys here, justifying your own tastes to make
yourselves feel better about who you are. DrukQs is the
worst album Richard has released. Any of his old albums are
more entertaining, interesting, 'Intelligent' than this.
The silly thing is, if you ask yourselves seriously, you
know it!

Jeremy kwhy: Wrong.

I love pears. Soooo juicy


 

corruptor from miami, FL on 2001-10-21 06:07 [#00044068]



hey jeremy if you don't like aphex twin that much then why
the hell are you even on this site


 

ggiidkkdjjjfhg on 2001-10-21 10:07 [#00044083]




i enjoy most of afx's sounds along w/ tons of other music. i
listen to stuff from the mainstream, underground and some
forgotten. REAL MUSIC is different from individual to
individual. whatever calms the beast.

as far as mainstream goes, afx is there in my opinion. i've
heard his music in three tv commercials so far in the past
year plus a music video on MTV. if i recall correctly, one
of those commercials was an anti-drug announcement. 8)


 

balthus from europe on 2001-10-21 10:48 [#00044084]



jeremy... drukqs a great album. and the silly thing is, if
you ask yourself, you know it.


 

balthus from europe on 2001-10-21 10:50 [#00044085]



of course you have to ask yourself seriously. is drukqs a
great album? you know it. it is. seriously.


 

Ex-Whore (15/MALE YOU STUPID FUCKS) from Stamford, Ct., USA on 2001-10-21 14:08 [#00044095]



what the fuck is a boy band? who the fuck are the
backstreet boys? what the fuck is rolling stone?

i cant fucking BELIEVE THE Y TRASHED APHEX! PRETEND THEY
DONT EXIST AS SO:

what the fuck is a boy band? who the fuck are the
backstreet boys? what the fuck is rolling stone?

Drukqs.

Its the fucking drukqs.


 

Jeremy kwhy on 2001-10-21 14:48 [#00044098]



corrupter, read my post again you think prick! DrukQs is
shit, I like a lot of his other music...you are too stupid!


 

Vampire Angel from San Juan,Puerto Rico on 2001-10-21 15:53 [#00044105]



Corruptor, I'm with you 100%. What the FUCK do Rolling Stone
magazine ever knows about good music. They just do nice
review to producer-made-in-the-studio-krap-music, a/k/a pop
music. It is not convenient for them to do a nice review
about Drukqs because they will loose the Pop-credibility
they have, fuck 'em really, dont pay attention to them, just
to your own taste. I think is one of his best work so far.
Its a combination of organic ambient/drill-n-bass and some
experimentation. Now, anybody that doesnt like Aphex Twin
shouldnt be here at all. DRUKQS is the best cd so far this
year....


 

Bogus on 2001-10-21 17:01 [#00044111]



why do you get mad with a bad review of drukqs... it's not
even your album.


 

corruptor from miami, FL on 2001-10-21 19:10 [#00044121]



oh jeremy you are so right, because when i hear afroman sing
because i got high i feel so much smarter


 

thanksomuch from planet claire on 2001-10-21 19:14 [#00044123]



i have never respected the reviews in the fallowing mags:

spin
rolling stones

thank you


 

fedular on 2001-10-21 20:35 [#00044158]



rolling stone have an agenda - reinforcing prejudice among
their buyers. aphex fans have an agenda - not seeming to
have wasted their lives following a possibly-mediocre talent
who couldn't possibly put out a mediocre album. therefore
neither of you listen with unprejudiced ears. therefore you
all lose. what does drukqs sound like? nobody knows.


 

Henry from Sweden on 2001-10-21 21:50 [#00044169]



i cant understand why some people say druqks is just
uncontrolled noise... theres so many beautiful melodies and
chords on that album!


 

Vampire Angel from San Juan,Puerto Rico on 2001-10-21 22:11 [#00044172]



Fedular. And this time I speak for myself. I can be able to
be very objective on any album review, but the real truth
hurts. If an artist doesn't have talent I will say it too.
Everybody knows the story on how the Backstreet Boys,
Cristina Aguilera, N'Sync and Britney Spears, and others
like that were born.So-called artists just made up by rich
producers wanting to get richer by explotating young guys
and girls providing them with sexy outfits and much more...
But then again, I will stop here because some people here
and not so here couldn't understand me or my pint of view. I
do understand how Drukqs sound, but maybe I will tell later
from my point of view.......


 

Neo-Geo-Hippy-Tosser-Yeah whatever arsehole. on 2001-10-21 22:59 [#00044175]



althought jeremy is being harsh about it,he is right in some
aspects...you should expect that kind of review to come out
of an mtv regulated era. Everything nowadays aims at ages
10-15...who really cares if its a bad thing?> if we were in
the late 80's we would be hating metal and synthpop....andi
know some of you enjoy that synth pop...if you cant
understand my point,then you should continue bickering on
deaf ears.

chill.
