OFFICIAL and accurate 2016 BNM Tally: 19
The most wonderful time of the night, every night, right now. Here it is, the nightly P4K thread. Time to get comfy.
>Tonight's Top Stories -I don't normally do this but come on we need a hype thread right now -James Blake review when? -Death Grips review when? -Radiohead review when? -This thread hypes and supports DIIV, Bat for Lashes, Death Grips, Car Seat Headrest, Radiohead, Local Natives, Islands, Vijay Iyer, Swans, and Tim Heidecker. -/p4k/ forever
Can they have 2 BNM's in one night? Cause if so, this might be a Death Grips James Blake twofer
Jayden Stewart
Dubs and amsp is BTFO by p4k, thus shilling whiteys and band kids for the next millennium
Gabriel Hill
Death Grips 9.1 BNM
Dylan Nelson
I think this review will be coming tonight and that we're looking at a solid 9.0
Andrew Fisher
Zach here Thanks man
Andrew Hughes
I'm not convinced it'll come tonight. I think they'll do James Blake, maybe Death Grips as a side review (since it won't get BNM) so then they can get an extra day to write Radiohead's review and also build hype even more.
Zachary Bennett
9.3-9.5
Dylan Bailey
inb4 new radiohead album gets an 8.2 because they're white males
Carter Collins
I agree. I was referring to James Blake initially
Dylan Diaz
oh fuk sorry haha only ratings I can see are Painting With style pan (6-7) or Divers style pan (8-9)
Jordan Myers
or a high bnm because p4k will pander due to the album's hype and the band's enormous reputation
Sebastian Torres
This.
Luke Gutierrez
THEY WON'T REVIEW AMSP SERIOUSLY
DUBS OR TRIPS???
Juan Rogers
Screenshot these
Death Grips: 7.5
Radiohead: 9.2
Electronic Tumblr dude: 8.3
Christian Long
Bottomless Pit: 9.5 A Moon Shaped Pool: 9.9
Caleb Green
pitchfork honestly sucks... how the fuck is kanyes album a 9?? its ass
Jordan Adams
chuckled pandering cunts
Leo Hernandez
white man at it again
Josiah Lewis
>So what is new on A Moon Shaped Pool, Radiohead’s first studio album since 2011’s The King of Limbs? Very little, which to me is what immediately makes it so great
So will AMSP actually be reviewed tonight or what?
Liam Kelly
Nah, James Blake will be reviewed tonight.
Radiohead will be pushed to Tuesday, methinks.
Eli Russell
>And check back later this week for Pitchfork’s review of the album
confirmed: review not today
James Bailey
It outright says in this article that's the Radiohead review will come later this week, so probably in the latter half of the week
Asher Allen
>So you’ve downloaded A Moon Shaped Pool, and being a discerning music consumer, you splurged on the 24-bit WAV download because if pristine and lossless fidelity ever counts, dammit, it’s now. hey I like this guy people hate pitchfork but honestly they have some great writers post-Conde
Sebastian Campbell
>james blake 9.0 >death grips 7.1 >radiohead 9.6
cap it
Michael Davis
>The 5 Most Important Things To Know jesus christ
Chase Moore
This is feasible
Eli Lopez
are you incapable of copying the text and pasting it in a google search bar?
Christian Walker
AMSP 9.5/10
Jonathan Roberts
bottomless pit will get 8.6
the review for AMSP will actually come out tonight and get a 9.5, BNM.
Christian Scott
Death Grips getting a 7.5 or lower. Calling it now. Sad but true.
Xavier Sanchez
Dead Sara - Pleasure To Meet You 8.3 BNM
Jason Evans
THIS THIS THIS
Lucas Gomez
i'm scared what if they pan it bros?
Isaiah Carter
Death Grips - 9.1 James Blake - 7.7 Radiohead - 9.6
What if pitchfork just dropped all 3 big reviews tonight.
Jackson Smith
Then life goes on.
Landon Perez
Chances the review of AMSP will be pages and pages of aimless commentary on politics, global warming, the technology era, and depression without talking about the music?
Christopher Lee
This board might crash
Ryder Evans
Very likely
Nathaniel Cooper
i don't think it will THAT political, radiohead is a more controversial and clickbait-y subject in itself than politics. of course, there will be some lines about the underlying subtext
Levi Perry
Radiohead & James Blake are both getting safe
Austin Jones
Let's invoke the meme magic
Ayden Wright
>Radiohead & James Blake are both getting safe
Kevin Myers
they better do it justice and do exactly this
Nolan Taylor
Tomorrow: James Blake with BNM at an 8.4 to 8.6. Either Death Grips with something in the 7 range on the same day or Tuesday. Radiohead will be put off to lead up hype with a BNT for Ful Stop or Present Tense, one will be BNT beforehand and one will be BNT uupon the review release. and the album review will pop up Friday or Saturday.
James Myers
HELLO! happy mothers day to any moms in the thread this evening
what a fucking weekend, huh? lotta reviews coming up, definitely a handful of BNM.
this Radiohead album's so good, so let's start with their OP image
Lucas Myers
As far as I know, they never have.
Asher Reed
i haven't gotten around to the new james blake yet, but i intend to. i'm kind of concerned about it—its like 80 minutes long, which is a lot for a james blake record, so i'm hoping he goes into some adventurous territory.
working on a Chance 3 OP image next
Dylan Butler
I don't think James Blake will get a 9.0 or anything above it. High 8's is more likely. I agree that Death Grips will be in the 7's. Radiohead I'm not so sure about. I'll confidently say it's getting above an 8.0, but I don't know if it will be in the 9's. It'll be higher rated than James Blake though.
Liam Carter
and there he is.
any i missed? it was a big weekend
Aaron Williams
>James Blake >Death Grips >Radiohead >Chance 3
Bases are fucking loaded this week.
Xavier Gonzalez
James Blake 9.0 Radiohead 9.2 deathgrips= who_tf_cares.jpg
Adrian Ross
(prepare to be disappointed)
Evan Richardson
chance can't get a 10 cause the single he premiered on fallon was a light 7
Jayden Powell
i kind of expected it. plus, no kanye or frank features, which he was hinting at last year.
Sebastian Myers
It's pretty adventurous, I loved the album. Liked self titled, hated overgrown.
Ian Nguyen
if dubs, surprise Julianna Barwick BNM
Cooper Torres
it's more just a saying than a guess at his score. it's definitely getting BNM. also Blessings was an 8 in my book, Jamila Woods' voice is fucking gorgeous
Blake Sanders
I have faith that it'll sound better in the studio version. Regardless, it's still going to be Ultra Beam Light. The tape has a real shot at being great though.
Jordan Cox
What if they drop all 3 and we also get the first 10 since 2010?
Kevin Wright
I love you GCG. If and when Dead Sara announces the follow-up to Pleasure To Meet You, will you make an OP image for them? I'm still grateful that you included them in pic related.
Leo Wright
james a qt
Ethan Walker
of course, it's only right that i respect the meme
i know, i came to the same conclusion while making this.
Grayson Richardson
my guesses at the upcoming scores, for what it's worth:
Death Grips: 7.8 James Blake: 8.4 BNM Radiohead: 9.4 BNM
Ian Mitchell
AMSP 8.8 BP 7.5
screen shot this
Ryan Stewart
this Aesop Rock album is the most boring thing I've heard in years why did p4k and RYM do this to me?
Luke Taylor
same sentiments here. i think it's just not my thing.
i was SHOCKED to see it up so high on RYM
Jacob Hall
Just got off the phone with Ian, new Radiohead is gonna get an 8.7
Juan Thompson
Brandon Stosuy is my dad and I can confirm this
Juan White
inflated ratings are inflated ratings
people go into something wanting to like it, they start making up excuses for how good it is instead of accepting it at face value
Lincoln Hall
reminder
Thomas Thomas
inb4 bunch of boring 8.X
Cooper Howard
RYM usually only does that to metal and soundtrack albums though, seeing an otherwise completely unremarkable hip-hop album that high is really surprising
David Brown
Radiohead 9.5 James Blake 8.8 Death Grips 7.4 Skepta 7.8 Kaytranada 8.1 no BNM
Jose Price
Radiohead's getting a 10 BNM
Cap it
Joseph Jones
Hey, I'm trying to improve the p4k archive and one of the things I've added is an OP image folder Do you still have all the OP images you've made?
Jacob Rivera
no
Gavin Morgan
last time they gave above 9.5 was six years ago, so not very likely
Joshua Taylor
ooh shit Bottomless Pit pan on bizarro pitchfork
Christopher Lee
you are obviously underestimating how much P4K likes Radiohead
Carter Russell
yep! let me throw what i have together
Noah Cook
they gave TKOL less than 8, and that was five years ago. Radiohead have no cultural capital in 2016. i haven't actually heard the new record yet though
Isaac Long
TKOL is not exactly the best Radiohead record to base anything off of tbqh.
