How To Listen To Music: new and improved

by Anne T. Donahue

And now for another edition of everyone’s favourite past time: judging others.

Thanks to How to Listen to Music (via Maura), a new method of critique has been introduced that allows all of us to acknowledge the downfalls of any song, from Robyn’s “Dancing on My Own” to Bieber’s “Baby”. (Though what anyone could find wrong with the latter remains a mystery.)

In the spirit of a more professional (and slightly less visual) Pop Up Video, each track is broken down and analyzed by melody, lyric and vocal stylings, with a final rating being given that falls somewhere between “fail” and “epic” (though surprisingly not related). Looks like we’ve found an entirely new way of avoiding the pre-holiday workload – procrastination, thy  name is Biebs. [via Vulture]
