It's going to be panned so hard. Pitchfork doesn't like Death Grips they think it's music for edgy teenagers, but they can't deny the influence so they have to cover them.
Juan Gonzalez
they review stuff on saturday now too tho
Dylan Adams
We've decided to leave DIIV in the OP
Carson Baker
Pitchfork rated the fucking Death Grips interview soundtrack higher than Niggas on the Moon for fuck's sake, can they be taken seriously?
no theyve just been tired of them since they pretended to break up because they didnt want to have to tour to finish an album
so now they are just focusing on antics vs the music, they do this a lot, they can be very superficial to artists they just enough about to report on for news, but they mostly just do it for the traffic, death grips doesnt need p4k approval, p4k just leeches on death grips for ad revenue
someone just uploaded this cover with strings. it's p. good
Oliver Reed
>p4k just leeches on death grips for ad revenue no one but Sup Forums and edgy teens still give fucks about Death Grips
Blake Jenkins
they became massively more popular after the release of government plates and you think those near millions and multi millions of views of their youtube come from just Sup Forums?
they are a pretty damn well known cult band, who clearly have fanbases not just centralized on Sup Forums, because there is a world outside of it, but you cant see it
Julian Mitchell
But Sup Forums is just edgy teens
Dominic Morales
AMSP is getting BNM
it's not getting a 9 or above, however, be prepared for 8.9
fucking calling this shit right here folks, 8.9 BNM
Samuel Myers
lol it's getting 9.4
John Davis
that would be so underwhelming i'd be happy with a 9.5+ or a straight pan (8 and below)
Justin Johnson
8.8 BNM
Elijah Jones
9.1 . 1
Sebastian Watson

Robert Carter
Hey guys
For those of you who don't already know, I've made a podcast about the music Pitchfork reviews
It's called The Metafork Music Review and you can find it on iTunes
If you like these threads I think you'll like it, and thanks a lot to the people who have already checked it out!
Henry Hill
What's everyone listening to?
pic related
Colton Wright
what album is that?
James Thomas
James Grips - A Bottomless Meme
Jayden Gray
Do you think that's what they're reviewing tonight?
Cooper Butler
no definetly not
Dylan Butler
Remember we've got James Blake and Skepta reviews coming too.
What's your guys' opinions on James Blake? I only listened to it once and not with my full attention, but I was bored. There were some standouts, like "Timeless" for example is something that I can remember, but the thing as a whole....I much prefer his first two albums (and his old instrumental EPs and singles).
I need to give it another listen or two though. It could possible be quite good. Idk.
Also I thought Skepta was a letdown. Some great tracks on there, but we already heard the best ones. Boy in da Corner remains the best grime album of all time.
Dylan Collins
Are you not a T&E fan?
Zachary Allen
personally I find 80% of T&E's stuff grating as fuck, and like 20% of it genius, I have never enjoyed one second of Tom Goes To The Mayor but I like a lot of T&EASGJ
Henry Price
On Cinema >>> T&E imo
Also, Ching-Chong Matinee will forever be one of the funniest things.
Tyler Hall
james blake 8.2 bnm last night
skepta, kaytranada possibly leading tonight
Juan Thomas
idiot baka
Hudson Sullivan
Same going through my first listen r'n
Brandon Wood
That makes sense. I'm more of a 90% genius T&E fanboy so naturally I don't like Tim's other stuff quite as much. But to each his own. Have you seen The Comedy?
Dylan Cox
I want to, but at the same time I've heard that movie is way too real, and I don't think I need that cringe experience in my life
post yfw they gave Gaika and Chali XCX EP's a higher score than AMSP
Jackson Butler
I'd guess DG tonight and Radiohead later in the week
Daniel Hall
THM ON SUICIDE WATCH
Henry Jones
it's alright, i guess. probably one of the more common scores.
they're kinda edgy and really concerned with cultural subtexts in music so i'm not surprised by the score (hence how i called it). honestly would not have been shocked of they went lower desu.
Ian Allen
What do you mean by real? Like deep-cutting?
Blake Gray
I like T&E but agree, Tim does so much great stuff on his own. His anti-stand-up for example is insanely funny.
Oh shit. Well I'm glad p4k agrees w/ me that his s/t was his best release so far.
Not that guy but I loved The Comedy. I need to see that director's other movies. I'd imagine I'd like them too. (btw seizure girl in that movie, and she's also in House of Cards 1st or 2nd season and some other shit....god I find her so sexy)
It has almost nothing in common with T&E humour. Tim's really just the lead, that's all. Worth watching. But yeah, it's a very 'real' movie. But not cringey...well there is some cringe, but in a different kind of way.
Joseph Edwards
>styles: music
thanks tmt i appreciate it
Parker Long
>kinda they are full blown edge usually
I'd say the most egregious thing about TMT is how hard they play favorites, like Dean Blunt and SOPHIE have put out shitty material before but TMT still gives them ridiculiously high scores
Leo Ortiz
Is TMT considered a good and respected blog for reviews and other things of that nature?
Jason Richardson
i was a fan of "band"
Jordan Gray
The character is apparently that person who never grows up and thinks everythings a joke at 30+ years old, and that sounds painful to me
Xavier Hernandez
>All of this is completely necessary for listeners to proclaim in order to begin erasing, interpellating their relationships to big, male music.
what the fuck am I reading?
Josiah Ross
jesus christ that review is bloated with sophistry might even be worse than p4k
Jordan Scott
Yes, it is painful. You should make yourself suffer some pain. That's that good shit (art that is).
Like Horace & Pete...yoooooooo
Adam Powell
You like Bands? I love Bands!
Brody Watson
TMT
Ethan Perez
>highlight "The Numbers" (a cyclical and soothing tale formerly known as "Silent Spell") >Silent Spell Maybe cool it with the pseudo-intellectual bullshit and focus a bit more on getting the details right
Josiah Clark
i want to believe
Jace Gutierrez
Dubs for double BNM with Death Grips and Radiohead
Brayden Garcia
It seems there's a time in every white, male, middle class, suburban millennial's life where we, usually around the age of 13, fall in love with Radiohead. It's a perfectly natural reaction. Their melodramatic, angst-ridden screeds against vague ideas of corporate evil and heads of state fit perfectly into our newly minted interests in things we can hardly begin to understand. But you don't need to understand much to fully appreciate being holed up in your bedroom listening to Let Down on blast on our iPod alarm clock radio while thinking about your crush in Algebra who looked at you for a full 2 seconds that day. For their part, Radiohead has done well in transitioning these 13 y/os with burgeoning interests in music to transition to less juvenile acts. They've aped Talking Heads, Sonic Youth, Can, etc and thusly led their teenage fans down that road. Fast forward to their latest, 'A Moon Shaped Pool'. Radiohead seem to have given up on appropriating genuinely interesting music in favor of rehashing what sounds like a mishmash of Coldplay's greatest hits. For any well-learned, well-listened educated person the fact that the album is bad is not surprising. Radiohead have never produced a genuinely good album in their careers. But, still, they served a valuable purpose in the lives of music fans by leading them to greener pastures. With their ninth record instead they give them the finger and point to A.M.-radio-Superbowl-halftime-life-insurance-commercial rock music. Rock in scare quotes because as much as they still retain their love for guitars and drums and bass this is the most flaccid sound ever produced from an ostensibly uproarious art form. I mean Steely Dan managed to make tepid rock music sound nice by combining it with white-people-jazz and a supreme ear for melody but I can't say anything as redeeming for this heap Radiohead has put out. It's mid-tempo background music for 50 minutes. I almost don't want to call this music. 'Music' has the import of art
Charles Butler
yeah, they do tend to stick with their favorites. one of the few examples of them swearving was panning rival delaer after highly scoring the rest of burial's releases.
i mostly use them for reference/curation. personally, i'm not a huge fan of their reviewing style, but i do appreciate how they're really trying to expand the language and semiotics around music and their total rejection of formalism.
Aiden Rogers
No. the way they intellectualize music is fundamentally wrong. They're shit little kids who took one or two classes on modernist and postmodernist philosophy and jack off with copies of All That is Solid Melts into Air.
Brandon Ortiz
Im fine with movies that make me crawl (watched Elephant recently), but like, that character sounds like a very specific fear I have that makes me cringe into oblivion
Jackson Cruz
>A Moon Shaped Pool is a “grower,” because all music is a grower. Here, there is perhaps a wider opportunity for the music to grow due to there being an audible release of sign and substance as a ghostly after-image of the band’s event-based trauma
lmfao tmt reads like one of my undergrad essays
Jordan Powell
9.2 for amsp Srs
Hudson Robinson
what the fuck is this
which is bullshit anyways since Rival Dealer is a great EP, thats probably the other most egregious thing, they never talk about the actual music, its all just overly dense word dumps that could be about ANY album
Thomas Flores
They'll review Radiohead tonight. They need to feed off the album hype before their general readership starts to lose interesting
Robert Nguyen
why r all u redohead fans trigerd
8.9 bnm incuming but u wil stil b mad lol
also dg 8.7
Jaxson Garcia
lmao holy fuck this writing is atrocious, makes pitchfork look like literary geniuses
it's just word salad, actually write a sentence that says something you turds
