Brisbot Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Taylor Swift made the cover. Syro gets an honorable mention somewhere. It's all about the $$$, review invalid. "Few do it better" doesn't make sense because no one else harps this style, and the RAM comparison is such a cop out as well. Makes little to no sense. Is it funky? Must be inspired by Daft Punk.

azatoth Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I have grown to loathe the term EDM as much as IDM. Maybe because it started to show up when all this awful brostep and what have you became popular.

It's all about the $$$, review invalid. Totally. I only ever read music reviews to, in turn, review what that person has said. It's interesting to see what industry thinks of Syro, but that'll never skew my experience of the record for better or worse. The very best review of Syro for me will be putting the album on with a group of friends (some big afx fans, some not), and see how they react.

psn Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Basically a reviewer with no competence to even begin to grasp the significance of the actual music.

scumtron Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 That's what I thought as well. Then I realised that I'm just an old fanboi who hates when journalists (especially those younger than me) tries to review my favourite artists. The review can never be good enough. They can never grasp the significance of the music like me. If they have other opinions than me, they don't understand it. Not trying to be sarcastic btw. These are my thoughts, escpecially about reviews in the mainstream media.

delet... Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 hah !! really. People get paid to be this clueless? (that's the bit that gets me, if it was an amateur sure ok, but if you want a professional, why not subcontract the review out to a watmmr (then we'd get to hear it already !!)).

delet... Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 And there are going to be a lot of naive reviews of this release as reviews pop up everywhere, from sunday newspaper pull outs, to online stores, so it doesn't really matter you are right.

Guest ansgaria Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 A Danish newspaper reviewed the record, referring to certain moments being, and I quote, "almost spastic krautrock". Though I haven't listened to the record yet, I strongly doubt this is the case.

funkaholic Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 best review has been from richard himself: "But I don't think these [syro] tracks are particularly innovative. Maybe in really subtle ways they are, for me, but there's nothing there that I need to explore more, so it's not going to put me off releasing anything. It just totally makes me want to not do anything else in that particular style." enjoying the album very much Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/84798-syro-reviews/page/5/#findComment-2222931 Share on other sites More sharing options...
