[ianmacsmith]

an ADHD ass who dismisses any music that doesnt fit in his ridiculously narrow taste.

[Mesarphelous]

Christgau is a no-talent imbecile who shits out incomprehensible one-paragraph bits of gibberish for a huge-ass paycheck. The fact that he has been sucking for 40 years does not mean that he does not suck.

[KINKSTA55]

0:01 Flaming Lips! (the album cover that is, not the song)

[KINKSTA55]

0:01 Flaming Lips!

Christgau has a good capsule summary of diminishing marginal returns at 5:27

the, uhhh, jerkoff, uhhh, at 3:32, uhhh, slays me.

[themofo1890331]

i admire his passion. i just feel his writing isn t any good ...sorry

[falcoboat]

@themofo1890331 I find his writing exceptional - riddles, allusions, metaphor, jokes, odd pastiches of slang and archaic rhetoric. He can tell you more about an album in a paragraph than most page-reviews. But each to their own eh?

[cosmicrider287]

bob is really into what he`s doing.
