Led Zeppelin II [Atlantic, 1969]
The best of the wah-wah mannerist groups, so dirty they drool on demand. It's true that all the songs sound alike, but do we hold that against Little Richard? On the other hand, Robert Plant isn't Little Richard. B

kill yourself

>pans an album that goes on to be a classic
Guess they should've gotten Randy Newman to sing.

I know he acquiesced later and started giving them mainly scores in the low A's, but has cuckgau ever backpedaled on Zeppelin like he did with Hendrix?

>It's true that all the songs sound alike
yeah, no

fpbp

Seriously who gives this much of a fuck what critics think?

/mu/ jews hate him because he's funnier than one of them could ever be

>>127609467
>JDS
/pol/ tourist MAGA trash love anything boomer.
fuck off back to /pol/ with your JDS shit.

/mu/tants hate these spammed critic threads because they know how to listen to music and think for themselves, and form their own opinion about music without being so insecure that they have to have a boomer "authority" confirm their opinion.

>>27609494
Christgau has never informed my opinion. I read him because he's funny. I actually find him to be at his best when he roasts artists and albums I love.
I thought jews had a sense of humor. You dumb fucks are so sensitive.

cope harder

This is actually solid music writing. Not that a jewish egomaniac could tell.

critics are useless.

Did he even listen to it?

It's amazing what happens when you listen to music and think for yourself.

>>127609677
>solid music writing
no such thing. again with the JDS. I think maybe you're projecting... are you one of (((them))), anon?

>>127609704
>Did he even listen to it?
probably not, which is what he has in common with people who think his reviews are "solid music writing"

>>127609683
>>127609706
How badly can you miss the point? Aren't you left leaning? Shouldn't you be, like, super smart? Some voice of reason.

if all the critics disappeared tomorrow, the music world would be completely unaffected.

>>127609698
>screeching incessantly about JOOOOOOZZZZ!!
>n...n..no YOU'RE mad!
project harder

Reading Christgau is like lurking /mu/ before /mu/. It's like that, but more reliably witty and thought provoking.
It's not like you aren't lousy amateur critics in your own way. And guess what? I never let one of you inform my taste either.
What a bizarre kneejerk reaction. Consider therapy.

Damn lot of seething itt
Led Zeppelin fucking sucks btw

>>127609880
They're amazing and one of the best bands to come out of the 70s, what they sounded like in 1969 was world shaking

Fantano must be the object of hate actually

>It's true that all the songs sound alike
Regardless of your thoughts on the album, this is not true at all. Ramble On does not sound Like Whole Lotta Love which does not sound like What Is and What Should Never Be.

>>127611038
its the same shit

>>127613944
>all of [band's] songs sound the same
it's hyperbole, an empty criticism that people say whenever a band or artist has an iconic sound that they just happen to not like. it's not true of AC/DC or the Ramones or The White Stripes either, but try telling that to somebody who doesn't even listen to them, which would probably be most of this board desu

Didn't this guy let his wife fuck other men?

He's such an insufferable faggot

Kek. This reads like one of his reviews

The b rating is correct but the review he writes is always schizoid nonsense

Down Two Then Left [Columbia, 1978]
Boz obviously labored over this one, getting every second so right there wasn't a whole lot left. After multiple listens I'm convinced that side one is quite tedious and side two quite listenable. But it wasn't worth my trouble or his. B-

>>127614178
all the most famous ac/dc and ramones songs do sound alike.
it's just wrong to say about led zepplin throughout their career. in fact, they have famous songs with arguably the widest range of styles of any major band.
but maybe that was in response to criticisms like above. their first two aren't nearly as stylistically broad as later stuff.

Album came out October 77 though?

>>127620966
The dates on his reviews are when he first listened to the album not actually when it came out. I believe that one he must not have gotten around to putting on until 78.

CSN [Atlantic, 1977]
Wait a second--wasn't this a quartet? D+

>>127609396
nice strawmen. no one drones him, its just a mere reference, like discussing how different are his views in comparison woth yours or others

mu love the melon: duplicated fantano threads and a lot of fantanoposting on those threads
