the streaming era has its pluses and minuses - mostly minuses for the most popular stuff - but as way to have THE ENTIRE CATALOGUE of all music - Reagen Dec 10, 07:15 12
- minuses: the artists rarely see a dime of it -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 10, 07:28 2
  - pluses: without it, some artists would never be ever heard from at all. -- nm - Qale Dec 10, 08:12
  - One of the reasons I stick with Tidal is because they're better for this. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 07:30
- It’s just nuts. I collect records. I’m in record shops all the time. Ringer’s 33 best albums of the year? I have one. I’ve heard of two. -- (link) - Volnelk Dec 10, 07:25 8
  - There’s a distinct streak of hipsterism in music criticism. If it’s popular, it sucks, but in a few cases something is so popular then it works it’s way back around to good. -- (edited) - Tim Dec 10, 08:37 2
    - I remember reading a review of a Metric album where the main thrust was that they thought Emily would be annoying to talk to at a party. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 08:49
    - the best critics have never been snobs. just very sophisticated jive detectors -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 10, 08:39
  - I’m surprised - there are a bunch of decent success or bigger folks - carly rae jepsen, drake, the 1975, nas, beach house, kendrick lamar, bad bunny, - i.b! Dec 10, 07:42 4
    - CRJ hasn’t remotely come close to a second (or 3rd technically) hit in years but always gets critically acclaimed. -- nm - Tim Dec 10, 08:25 1
      - not as huge, sure; but a few songs from the latest album have gotten quite a bit of play and social media use. - i.b! Dec 10, 10:26
    - I’m aware of those artists but have no interest in their stuff so I suppose my comment was misleading. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 10, 07:45 1
      - the 1975 is a band I feel like I'm supposed to like but am just bored by. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 07:51
