Qualifications to Critique Music

Recommended Posts

I think you need to know something about music to be able to criticize it. No, you don't need to be a professional, nor a musician, but you need to have an idea about what makes music generally good and what makes it generally bad. 

 

Like, for example, there was this girl writing a music review blog. One of her favorite bands was, indeed, Gazette. She introduced the band and whereas our opinions about the band differed a lot, I could explain it by saying that Gazette just haven't clicked with me. BUT! When she introduced Kai, she used the sentence: "I think Kai is an excellent drummer because he's so perky and can follow the beat." At that point I realized she knows nothing about music and should not be writing a music review blog. Seriously? CAN FOLLOW THE BEAT? Is that your qualification for an excellent drummer?! Fuck me in the asshole jesus christ almighty.

Can follow the beat? Isn't he supposed to be laying that down? LAWL

 

Pretty much, but with current GazettE I don't know anymore. Example: is Reita even still a member?
