100 Albums You Should Remove From Your Collection Immediately
This guy wants to be the David Spade of the music world, apparently, because he doesn't actually review the albums; rather, he throws out some sarcastic piss and vinegar, and leaves you feeling annoyed at his bitterness. As far as I can tell, his reviews all follow one of the following four patterns:
1. This band/albums sucks. It's just a rip-off of (insert obscure minor-label artist here), which you should listen to instead.
2. I got so tired of hearing this music coming out of people's dorm rooms at college. I didn't like those people, so therefore, this music sucks.
3. I just don't understand this album. Therefore, it is overrated.
4. (Insert cute attempt at dry sarcastic wit with cutting insult here.)
Taste is all subjective, of course. There are CDs on the list that I agree with him on - U2's Zooropa comes to mind - but the annoying manner in which he delivers his opinion renders it totally irrelevant. Constructive criticism is good. Public flaming, not so much.
