Death Grips and James Blake reviews tonight My uncle is a writer for pitchfork
Jaxson King
Lol, imagine you’re getting ready to shock the world with your Claymation Wicker Man and then Lemonade happens. In theory, Radiohead “wiping their web presence” is an interesting response to the Event Album era, but if you’re not going to go balls out, delete your entire Twitter account, and go straight analog, I’m kind of like, “whatever, guys.” This sounds like a Radiohead song.
Isaac Cook

The Colour in Anything: 8.7 screencap this
Jackson Cooper
No BNM for anything coming out. Radiohead- 7.4 P4k wants to be cutting edge and wants to break away from always praising Radiohead so that people won't associate them together. James Blake- 7.7 Garage/dubstep has had its moment so it's not hip enough. Quality isn't enough to get BNM, it has to be the "next big thing". Death Grips- 6.9 No BNMs for tracks from this album, it's like a watered down Money Store. Death Grips is losing its ability to shock people, so p4k won't play along any more.
Next BNM will be a surprise mixtape drop from some talentless hack like Future or Young Thug because they're way more zeitgeisty.
Joseph Cook
The new James Blake isn't even super dubstep-y though and certainly isn't garage.
Bentley Bennett

Logan Martin
>P4k wants to be cutting edge and wants to break away from always praising Radiohead so that people won't associate them together.
If this was true they would have given artists like Kanye West and Sufjan the scores their newest albums actually deserved and not this shock value near-perfect bullshit.
Hudson Collins
I could actually see this happening.
Luis Gray
...
Caleb Young
That's true. I guess I just meant that since James is still a niche musician and isn't the poster boy for an emergent, hip genre anymore that p4k is going to stop giving fucks.
Brody Rodriguez
The difference between Kanye and Radiohead is that Kanye isn't waiting 5 years between albums and he's way more of a cultural figure than any member of Radiohead. He's always in the news so he's much more hip to be associated with than a bunch of aging rockers, regardless of how good their music is. P4k is not about the quality of music anymore, if it ever was. It's about how "hip" it is.
Eli Flores
James Blake and Radiohead are too white and male for 9.0+. Blake won't even get a BNM and Radiohead will probably get an 8.3.
