* For his 'Worst Albums of 2020' list, he explains that what pushed Music/FiveFingerDeathPunch into the top spot was the music video they put out in October which some as making an anti-masking statement. Crash tears into Zoltan's pathetic dog-whistle-laden 'explanation' and makes it clear that their macho posturing and hypocritical greed (trying to have it both ways by appealing to antimaskers while selling custom masks for ''$60'') may have very well caused people to die during a massive pandemic.

Critical Research Failure is a disambiguation page


* The entire final TheReasonYouSuckSpeech towards Pitchfork after reading their infamously loathed and despised negative review of ''[[Music/{{tool}} Lateralus]]'' and calling out the site for how much they alienate their audience with entitled and HolierThanThou attitude towards the bands they hate and how they [[TakeThatAudience insult their audience]], and ''especially'' when calling out reoccurring reviewer Brent Dicrescenzo's [[CriticalResearchFailure lack of research]] in his reviews and his borderline [[CausticCritic bitter and apathetic attitude]] towards '''anything''' and his [[{{Padding}} pretentious writing]] when he ''could get to the damn point of the fucking review!''.

* Crash's ''big'' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech on his Number One spot for the Worst Albums of 2019: ''[[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic Nostalgia Critic's]] [[Music/TheWall The Wall]]''. He rips apart how insulting, disregarding, and a big middle finger the album is to the source material, points out how the review and album were just Creator/DougWalker ''intentionally'' missing the point of it simply because it hits closer to him, along with it being more of a platform for Doug to air out his grievances about the Website/ChannelAwesome drama. The fact that Crash labels it as [[BrokeTheRatingScale 0/5]] (his ''first'' zero in his channel) adds more impact to it.

* The lengthy TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Crash delivers to [[{{Music/AllThatRemains}} Phil Labonte]] during his review of ''The Order Of Things''. Followed by TheReveal that [[spoiler:it's actually composed of lyrics from the bridge of "Delusion Pandemic," from the subject of the next review, ''[[{{Music/LambOfGod}} Sturm Und Drang]]''.]]

Added DiffLines:

* The entire review of [[Music/LinkinPark One More Light]] where Crash calls out the band for their dismissal and disrespect of their loyal fans and the albums cheap attempts at pandering to current trends.

** Lots of the criticism of Walker's "Wall" review said he came off as ignorant of ''Film/TheWall'', its history, and the meaning behind its lyrics. Crash took the opposite viewpoint; Doug understood album and film just fine, he just tried to bend its symbolism and visuals to ''his'' ends, which was to insult and denigrate those who would criticize Channel Awesome. And ''that'' is what really offended Crash.

* His blunt and to the point rant about why he hates King 810's second album and his ''refusal'' to even play their music during his ''BEST/WORST ALBUMS OF 2016'' list, in such visceral and callous tone, he makes it clear he ''hates'' not just the album, but the band, especially how David Gunn simply wants to be known for his JerkAss antics more than the music itself.
* In his review of ''[[Music/RedHotChiliPeppers One Hot Minute]]'', he namechecks the track "Shallow Be Thy Game" as one of his favorites on the album, and when he goes into why that is, he gives a scathing, no-holds-barred verbal smackdown to the Evangelical Christian church and the "born into sin" platitude. It is both deeply cathartic and deeply moving.
** This line from that speech: "If Heaven is filled with assholes like you...''I'd rather go to hell''. I'll take my chances."
* The entirety of his review of ''Mania'' by Music/FallOutBoy. Crash absolutely rips the band apart (Pete Wentz in particular) for shamelessly selling out and having absolutely nothing interesting to say.
** Crash cutting to the chase at the end of said review:
-->'''Crash''': Fall Out Boy...please break up! Break up! Just break the fuck up already! It's ''embarrassing!''

** The fact Crash also points out ''this'' factor is what prompted him to abandon "The Rock Critic" title and simply label his channel as "Crash Thompson".
