Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Vlad and I built AI Music Critic because I was frustrated with the feedback I was getting on my tracks. You know the feeling: - Post your music online - Get "sounds good bro!" comments - No actionable feedback - No cultural context - No real criticism I wanted what Pitchfork gives major artists - actual music JOURNALISM. The experiment that started it all: To test if AI could write real music criticism, I fed Claude the complete discography of Pasha Technik, an obscure Russian underground rapper from 2004-2008. With ZERO context given, the AI: - Found parallels to James Joyce and William S. Burroughs - Identified connections to Russian Futurism - Realized he was doing stream-of-consciousness rap a decade before Tyler, The Creator - Wrote legitimate literary analysis I published the full conversation on Medium and it validated the idea: AI can write REAL music criticism. What AI Music Critic does: Unlike other tools that just give you technical scores, this writes actual narrative reviews: "There's something achingly beautiful about the space between notes in this composition, where silence carries as much weight as sound. The artist has crafted a sonic landscape that feels both intimate and expansive..." Plus technical breakdowns: - Mix balance: 8.5/10 (excellent stereo imaging, well-balanced spectrum) - Production: 7.8/10 (professional home recording standard) - Mastering: 8.0/10 (appropriate loudness for streaming) 🚀 Current status: - Launched 24 hours ago - 8 users analyzed 7+ tracks - Users are analyzing MULTIPLE tracks (avg 2.3 per user!) - 100% completion rate - All feedback has been positive It's completely FREE right now while I validate the concept. ❓ Questions I'd love feedback on: 1. Would you pay for this? If so, what features would make it worth it? 2. What other analysis would be valuable? (Spotify playlist fit? TikTok viral potential?) 3. Should I add collaborative features? (Share reviews with bandmates?)
