Manning Fireworks is such a "kinda good" record that the wildly varying opinions on it now are kinda baffling to me. BNM was confusing, the Needle Drop 3/10 is about as confusing. Y'all never heard a kinda good bargain bin '90s indie rock record before?

The overvaluation of music’s “personal” quality sucks and limits creativity to a depressing degree. Imagine if every single novel was a thinly veiled autobiography. Why do we expect this from music?

Starting to see some criticism on this (which I welcome) due the "focus" on Jeong, but: whether you think he's god's gift to K-pop or not, the members reconnecting with him and composer/producers that worked with them in the early LOONA day is a defining component of ARTMS.
Arising from the ashes of pioneering K-pop group LOONA,

Seth came out looking really noble so he doesn’t actually look bad. Did the main event tag and got his knee more fucked up but didn’t eat a pin. Lost to Drew injured after having a 45 minute match less than 24 hours before. Then aggro’d Roman and cost him the title.

And I think if LOONA was truly the same after 2019, we wouldn't be in this position where literally every member wanted out of Blockberry. If there was no difference between Jeong and Blockberry, 5 members wouldn't have reconnected with him. That's my point.

Anyways, I'm not surprised or offended by a little pushback. There are "camps" here in a way, and my take is that "the spirit of LOONA" is defined both by the vocalists and the vision of the creative director.

The argument that P4 has bad antagonists has never held water. Compare Namatame and Adachi to Ikutski and Strega in P3 or Shido and Akechi in P5. Kinda think P4 handily clears them.

New Swift album is two fucking hours of a billion dollar brand trying to convince everyone she’s a real person by feeding deeper into streaming trends and co-opting the overly specific rhetoric of buzzy indie artists without the poetic flair. The results are disturbingly uncanny.

jj skolnik is really the only editor who ALWAYS got back to me on a pitch whether it was a yes or no. And I get the editors at bigger places are overwhelmed, but ESPECIALLY if you've worked with a writer before, acknowledge their pitches.
I know we freelance journos say this all the time, but it bears repeating - editors, pleeease respond to our pitches, even a curt no thanks will do. But please take that twenty seconds to reply and put us out of our misery

I still hold that one of the biggest reasons music journalism is “losing value” is that we’ve failed to hard pivot towards discovery/backing new artists in a meaningful way vs. validating or challenging perceptions of artists everyone already knows in the wake of streaming.

They care more about "feeling" feminist than profit. They'll go as far as to not abandon Barbie for Ken because it's obvious to them that it would be wrong, but they're too lazy to engage with the nuances of a "normal" Barbie. It's pretty good stuff.

"project is anticapitalist" yeah sure ok bud
I love the way Chappell Roan refers to her artistry as 'the project'.
A 'project' is temporary, implying an end point that she herself can dictate (or evolve).
Unlike 'career', a nebulous term with no finite end, dictated by forces outside herself.
'Project' is anticapitalist.

I think sometimes we conflate P3’s theme with the quality of its characters and plot. It certainly has the most impactful theme of the 3 games but the plot barely happens until the backend and a lot of the character writing suffers for it. Agree that Strega is the worst of it.

Fuckin' this. If I'm putting out yr album on tape, primary motivating factor, I want a physical copy. What year it came out originally doesn't matter to me, I want to own, promote, share dope ass tapes. Expect many 'reissues' (first time on tape) from UTC this year among the new.
I totally get when some labels don’t like putting things out that have already been released digitally but I really think if something sounds amazing then it should deserve a physical format hence why CC always is reissuing old things don’t matter to me!!! ❤️☺️🍊

Very rarely is "not having a hook" a bad criticism, and it's certainly not rockist or poptimist. Jazz often has hooks. House music will have hooks. Hooks can be vocal or instrumental. Ambient maybe not so much. But you can criticize a lot of music for just *doing stuff.*
