personally, i don't think fantano is pretentious. i just think he talks out of his ass and presents it as an opinion. his 'colored sands' review specifically was a joke. he tries to cover too much ground and ends up with very thin understandings of certain genres
I never really got that from him. I think he's actually pretty eloquent with how describes certain sounds and why he likes things and such. The only issue I really have with him is that he can give a generally positive review, then state something like "but it sounded a little samey" and then slap it with a 6 or something. But at least your reason for not liking him is better than "HE DIDN'T LIKE MY FAVORITE ALBUM"
i've seen reviews he's done where he clearly spent a lot of time with the material and those are pretty decent and reliable. but then there are albums that just clearly aren't his cup of tea and/or he doesn't spend time on and he rates them low and i think that's unfair as a critic
That nigga gave House Of Balloons a light 3 but then started riding The Weeknd's dick when he got hot then gave Echoes Of Silence a strong 8. Fuck him.
dude we get that you have a warped view of human sexuality and we've come to terms with that but you go around the forum flagging everything remotely sexual [-(
