Rolling 2004 Negative Reviews That Make The Subject Sound Awesome Thread

it's a frighteningly common cliche to critique ozzy-era black sabbath as "stupid" music. not just among the hostile, but even among those who love that era black sabbath. yet, this "stupid" music had an unbelievably enormous influence which leads one to question the "stupid" label.

A friend was telling me that Daft Punk's Discovery wasn't that good. He said, "Yeah, I remember reading a review that was really right on: it said the album sounded like dance club, but from outside the club." WTF! I want to hear it now!

Haha, that Squarepusher review Mr. Snrub posted is actually spot-on! "Selection Sixteen" does have a couple of nice tracks, but it's still one of the worst records I've purchased for years.

"NINA HAGEN 'Nunsexmonkrock' (Columbia): The album oughtta win some kinda bad taste title - it has the proverbial major-star-in-Europe (so I'm told), Nina dressing as a Madonna cum bag lady/whore. It's really disgusting. The music (?) is so bad it's almost good, or at least good for a few laughs. Listen as Nina dribbles, sings, moans, talks backwards, throws up, spews incomprehensible inanities, and laughs at her own jokes in at least three (count 'em) languages. Impressive, eh? She also has a band that dabbles in reggae, pseudo-opera, shlock rock, progressive art-noise, quasi-religious hippy dippy mysticism and, probably, massive quantities of drugs, since I don't see how anyone could be this stupid on the natch. My suggestion is she team up with Wild Man Fischer; they could be the Sonny and Cher of the '80s. (j. poet)" - from Creem, October '82, made me interested not only in this album but in 'massive quantities of drugs'. Thanks for fucking my life up Creem
