Jazz Pianist Vijay Iyer Reviews Tomorrow's Harvest

this guy has the right of it imo

http://thetalkhouse.com/reviews/view/vijay-iyer-boards-of-canada

No way. He can fuck off. "Eros"? Give me a break. Don't get me wrong: it's a good album but it's not without its problems. It's just that he's wrong about what it is.

lol, MHTRTC is gibberish lol

wait, so does he like mhtrtc? he starts off with a bunch of horseshit about how it's the aural equivalent of a cloud or someshit and then ends the review by saying boc have lost something because they aren't like they used to be. also lol at eros. what a douche.

This completely changed my mind about the album.

I could only read a few sentences. This guy is a grade A irredeemable douchetwat of the highest order

"Ok we get it, it's a gibberish thing" - FUCK RIGHT OFF

hooooly fuck

his review of until the quiet comes is so cringe inducing

If the way to listen to what was once called “intelligent” dance music is to imagine ourselves moving to it, I found my imagined self going shopping. Early BoC is carefully, cleanly distressed; each album is like a whole floor of Urban Outfitters.

The playful nihilism of the early years, that winning formula that made BoC the electronica equivalent of Johnny Depp, so endearingly blank that everyone liked them, has seemingly given way to some grim self-seriousness and dreary melodrama. Maybe they could hire a sassy young intern to click and drag files around for them, update their Facebook page, keep the work atmosphere a little more fun and alive? Or maybe they could just break the formula a little and actually sing a song, strum some guitar, make an actual chase sequence, hire some blazing virtuoso drummer to light a fire under them, or something.

lol "actually sing a song". how annoying.

Oh my

lol "pretty good" aka pianist for clodplay

So what does this guy listen to? That track Deer posted sounds like a shitty acoustic cover of something from The Campfire Headphase with a hint of canyon.mid.

For what it's worth, I consider MHTRTC to have a murky kind of darkness that even Geogaddi doesn't touch. TH is kind of plasticky to me in fact.

edit: seriously mate, what the fuck? that's the worst piano improv i've heard in my life

it sounds like inspirational music for yuppies to listen to whilst on elevators

he writes like a twat. "I'm just thinking out loud here" - sure, ok *disregards*

sounds like music in a loading screen in the sims. or what would play in the mind of a sentient toyota prius.

I liked the intro quite a bit but then you're right in your description of the rest. Good Morning America talk show music more or less.

as a side note: every Indian male I've ever met speaks (and probably writes) the way this guy does. It is like they're all yuppies, all told how precious each of their brain farts are. Maybe it's a caste thing.

or maybe you just attract twats

I mean I just have issues with a lot that is going on with this person.

reviews flying lotus album. Uses the term "brainfeeding" in the review.

Reviewing music is stupid in my opinion anyway. Completely antiquated form of journalism. We can all listen to the music now before we buy it. What is the purpose of reviewing it in such a way?

Wow, who'd have guessed that a jazz pianist would be a pretentious douche?

Someone doesn't like the same things as I do! GRRRRRR

I enjoyed this.

I feel bad for being such a dick, but I still don't like it. Seems like he hits the wrong notes on more than one occasion to me as well. The only bit I like is the 6:30 part. The whole song should have revolved around that part.
