Robert Christgau's A+ Records - Page 3

Robert Christgau is a music critic best known for his Village Voice capsule reviews and his administration of the annual critics roundup Pazz & Jop. I am personally not a fan of Christgau's. At all. His prose style is infuriatingly opaque and smug. He often comes off like an A.I. text generator got fed mid-20th-century cultural references, EE Cummings poems, and dialogue from abandoned Woody Allen screenplays. I usually disagree with his reviews and find his tone dismissive – even when he likes the album! But I do admire and respect him for his unpretentious, curious, borderless, and diverse taste, and the fact that he was one of the first mainstream critics to turn a serious eye toward hip-hop. In his more than 50 years as a critic, he has awarded only 121 A+ ratings to albums. Every choice is surprising and will surely present any music fan with plenty of new discoveries.
