Has anyone ever seen an episode from Velocities In Music?
Personally, I love them. They have "spot on", funny, and just overall entertaining reviews!
They review just about every genre, from Pop (rarely) to Post-Rock!
Yea I posted about them a while back but no one really said anything about it. I love their reviews too. They have pretty eclectic reviews and I love that they don't really bash any albums no matter how much they hate it. _________________
Yes, glad I'm not the only one who knows them! They are really likable guys, often well informed about what they review and their sense of humor feels really relaxed, they are not forcing it unlike, say, The Needle Drop. I often agree with what they say as well.

This one is understandable and justified though, despite what lethalnezzle might think on the contrary.
Yet again, missing the point and grinning through bared teeth like the dog you are. My problem isn't with somebody holding the opinion that Justin Bieber's music is bad, so long as they have actually fucking listened to it, which these two have obviously done. It's with people using limited knowledge of his music and, worse, tabloid gossip as sticks with which to beat him. These two dudes are entitled to their opinion, anybody who has not listened to a whole Justin Bieber album (i.e. 99% of Bieber-bashers) are not. If you haven't listened to a full album by him, then you aren't entitled to a fucking opinion on the matter, and yet it's these people whose shouts tend to be loudest regarding this particular issue (the issue of a boy making pop music which, lest we forget, has been responsible for literally countless death threats and homophobic slurs). Bieber's a tediously easy target, but if these two dudes review music to an audience who watch this and the guys decide they should review a Bieber album, they can say whatever the fuck they want. They listened to it. Fair fucks to them. I have no problem with these guys, other than the fact I hate all video reviews and theirs is no different. It's not a format I think works, but these guys are no more or less annoying than Fantano or DEHH. But yeah, I don't defend Bieber because I don't think his music is shit. Much of it is. They hit on a good point about stale beats (My World 2.0 isn't a very good album in any sense, really), and lyrics. (However, I'd still rather hear Bieber's lyrics than these (see if you recognise this pile of cliche-ridden cockwaffle): "Cause it’s a bummer in the summertime, but everyone’s gonna have a really good time, oh yeah, but you never hand out, and you shake it all about, these arms and legs, bacon and eggs, and you can rearrange your mind if it makes you feel fine, and you can lose your faith if it puts you in your place, and you can chew on gum if it makes you have fun".) My World 2.0 isn't a very good album. But I don't routinely defend Justin Bieber because I think he makes great music ('Baby', which is a ridiculously great pop song, and a few others aside); I defend him because Bieber-bashing is one of the most bland, boring and downright disingenuous practices that takes place amongst young people today. The people who routinely bash Justin Bieber are sheep, the vast majority of whom haven't even taken the time to listen to any of his music. So please, do tell me what I "might think on the contrary" (should've been "to the contrary" given that it wasn't introductory but whatever, it's blindingly obvious that you didn't put any thought into your dumbass fucking comment anyway). Because they're saying things I largely agree with, even if I do think the practice of saying those things publicly is detrimental, in so much as it gives Bieber-bashers who haven't listened to My World 2.0 a bunch of borrowed opinions that they can then throw around in order to look as though they've paid Bieber the respect of having listened to his music, when they clearly haven't, and are probably too scared to lest they may in fact - God forbid - enjoy it. Justin Bieber's music isn't very good for the most part (I haven't heard everything he's done, but I've heard a lot of it), and yet it's infinitely more enjoyable than reading or listening to a bunch of people sully a young man's name based on spurious reasoning. Now fuck off, and stop assuming that defending an easy target is the same as loving a person's music. On the contrary, actually, it's just refusing to give in to the bullshit merchants and the sheep.
These guys are very irritating, and I'm not a huge fan of two people reviewing an album at the same time.
I've been watching a guy called The Daily Guru recently and really enjoying his work. There's no pretences, he's not trying to be funny or whacky, and most importantly he's clearly a person that's listened to a lot of music over time, and knows what he's talking about.
