Album Reviews

Which site has better reviews? Pitchfork or RateYourMusic/Sonemic?

Post examples.

RYM is definitely better than p4k

Can't really compare them since Pitchfork is a company and RYM is just a bunch of amateur neckbeards like us voicing their opinion on music. (doesn't mean we should follow Pitchfork tho)

>Reading reviews

I think RYM has better taste in general, and I'll trust hundreds of regular music listeners over one pretentious Pitchfork writer.

But your opinions should never be influenced by other opinions.

I'd rather a site like RYM where I can read reviews from many different perspectives and tastes. I don't typically read reviews anyway.

I like that RYM is open to every point of view, even those who review music I find politically odious.

No other site will have users into both Hip-Hop and RAC.

RYM as a small fraction of their reviews aren't garbage.

> p4k gave a 10 to a kanye album

they're just dickriding flavour-of-the-month stuff with no real courageous stances.

+ they always make whole articles from some stupid shitheads tweets and that pisses me off real bad

yes, kanye is certainly flavour of the month stuff
