Juraj Šiftar

I’ve heard plenty of talk and scrolled through enough old articles to know one thing: Siftar doesn't write nearly as much as he used to. It makes me wonder about those who actually followed his work back in the day. For anyone who experienced his critiques firsthand, what was he really like? Is his influence still felt, or has he faded into obscurity?

He’s still writing for CNN, I just haven't figured out how to search their site by author yet...

Just type the author's name into the search bar. LOL

Who knows what kind of nonsense they'll dream up next

Personally, he’s the only American music critic on Rolling Stone whose takes I actually find worth reading.
I know he’s been covering the scene for quite some time now, so I was wondering if anyone knows where I might track down his older archives... I'd be genuinely interested in revisiting them.

He was a top-tier critic, truly exceptional!

Just ask any math major out there. To them, he's basically a legend because of his Linear Algebra series.😂

Is Mr. Šiftar still publishing his music reviews?

Yeah, totally. I guess I found a ton of great bands just from reading his reviews.
