Critic bait is when Anthony Fantano gives an album I don't like a 9 or a 10/10 when I listen to watered down bubble gum Target shopping music

Name another

3 is the first number of a pattern. I’m tryna see sum

An album with a cool concept or actual thought put into it. When an artist tries. In other words the term is a last resort used by opps when an artist they hate has nothing to hate on. The album is good? “Must’ve been doing it to get good grades”

can the song be considered critic bait if it has actual Fantano quotes in it?

Probably when musical choices get in the way of resonating with fans and casual listeners quickly. Experimentation with structure and sounds is for the critics not regular people listening to the top 40.

Critic bait music is music that panders or appeals to the political rumblings of the industry at that point in time.

We decide it's intentional by the artist when an album's concept revolves around a particular theme or style that fits the above mold and is also a departure from their previous work.

Dark Fantasy / TPAB are examples of this.

tpab

Ya know it when ya see the bullshit

them trolls aint even trying no mo

mfs couldnt find a way to hate on TPAB so they made that s*** up

music where the only critique can be “well a lot of people gave this a good rating”

thinly vailed kendrick vs drake thread

TPAB Lemonade, as I said. Oh and Cowboy Carter

lol OP knows who he’s talking about 🤣

It is definitely a thing. But a lot of time critics base reviews on things outside the music as well.

yeah I'm so out

Anything I don’t like

username vs title thread….

what’s understood doesn’t need to be explained. it’s obvious tbh

Your reply proves my point actually

How exactly is TPAB that?

Cousin of "slave music", brother of "dust". Basically any type of rap that actually tries

Or it’s for the artist who’s making the music?
