Pop is a musical genre that expresses its art through songs ranging from 2 to 4 minutes, focusing primarily on melody, and rarely on lyrics; a melody that, to be considered "good," must be simple and catchy. Instruments play a significantly lesser role, to the point that the technical skills of musicians are placed in the background, that is, to accompany the voice by providing the simplest possible foundation. The structure of a pop song follows this format: "verse-chorus verse-chorus (a few seconds, sometimes, of guitar solo) verse-chorus (sometimes they stop at the second chorus and do not proceed further)." Coolmaster, does this definition suit you? From my point of view, it is clear how limited the possibilities offered by this musical genre are and how difficult it is to make pop without falling into the banal (I still have yet to find someone who has succeeded).

Hey Craziness, great album, no doubt about it, but I don’t understand why you consider "battery" and "damage inc." inferior to the rest of the record... from my point of view, the weakest track is "Leper Messiah" because it's repetitive and therefore at times boring... to each their own...

from my point of view, his masterpiece... even better than desertshore...

masterpiece

instead it's quite the opposite... a Beatles album can be absorbed incredibly well from the very first listen, to the point that subsequent listens feel quite banal (for some from the first listen)... "trout mask replica" I believe was only appreciated at first listen by MuSo, Scaruffi, and 4 people on the entire planet; yet today it is considered an absolute masterpiece by a good portion of critics (who only became aware of it in recent years, while Scaruffi, like with many other albums, was the first to understand its value, but that's another story).
Anyway, I am much less Scaruffian than it seems (even though I do have quite a bit of that influence)... for example, Scaruffi underestimates, in my opinion, Italian music in a terrifying way (it's absurd, for instance, to give only a 6.5 to beautiful albums like "Canzoni a Manovella" or "Elio Samaga Hukapan Kariyana Turu"); or when he claims that just one listen is enough to absorb any album, to me it's inconceivable... indeed, for some things I don't understand it myself...

absolute masterpiece, it’s absurd that there’s only one review on debaser... obvious scores

Trust me, I thought this way about the Beatles long, long before I knew Scaruffi, and it’s been a long, long time since a sort of anti-Beatles spirit developed (rightly so), Scaruffi has only been the spokesperson for it.

Inspired, how could it not be! At this point, it's better to go with Hard Day's Night, anyway, horrible... if you're convinced...

ubik, it doesn't seem to me that I've said it's a good album; it's light years away from all the albums you just mentioned (all 5-star). This is a pointless little piece of pop music, well-executed in its genre, irritating in its lightness just like all pop music… among other things, it's perhaps the only Beatles album that deserves this rating (most of their records are horrible even in their own genre). Moreover, I never claimed that Sgt. Pepper's had any innovative value for those years, on the contrary, it was one of the most reactionary albums of its time, vastly overrated.
If we're giving a score to the artistic value of these two albums, I’d give them two useless 3s... if we're, however, voting on its originality and its innovative value, the score is undoubtedly 1, but it doesn't seem fair to dismiss with a 1 all the albums that are not innovative and original. Among other things, for once that I find something salvageable in the Beatles' career, do you want me to let it be saved? :-)
coolermaster, your ignorance does not need comments: "But how, damn it, thousands of Scaruffoid intellectuals say he's a genius... oh yes, here it is... La do sibemolle... Minkia!! What a genius!! He played that like no one has ever done before..."

You have all my contempt.
