Who's gonna get it?
Ayden King

((phone number for a rape victim hotline)(((you dial 1 first here in america...that's the joke i'm making fellas))))
Camden Evans
human story 3: the first 10 since mbdtf
Jack Clark
Pic related will get a high BNM 8.x. RHCP will get a high 6, MAYBE low 7. I'll put money on this.
Nolan Sullivan
It's good but way too tryhard to be perfect breh breh If I see one more album or movie about the "technology is ruining us all" concept i'm going to vomit
Carter Cook
i'm glad there are some people on here are acknowledging michael gira being a pile of shit
Joshua Brown
Predicting 7.0 for The Glowing Man, 5.8 for RHCP
Juan Wilson
It will be 7.something. It's far too similar to the previous two albums to be highly regarded
David Kelly
i was just memeing
larkin is obviously lying
and even if she wasn't, i'd still be listening to Swans anyway
Gabriel Mitchell
why are people hating on the getaway?? i think it sums up most of the good stuff that band has done since the late 90s. the final few tracks actually close the album really well too. it was much better than i thought it'd be.
Ryder Carter
You literally have no idea whether or not he's a piece of shit.
Jayden Adams
I don't think RHCP have aged as well as, say, Swans have. Seems like they're just doing the same ol' shit, except with more commercial appeal
Chase Butler
Gonna say this right now. Y'all fuckers probably haven't even heard the supposed story larkin posted but has since removed. I don't have time to post it, but I know Gira looks like a fucker, but remember that is the same guy who wrote violent songs with a femninist angle for decades. People who had no reason to came out to defend him on this. This is the guy who wrote Fan letter and put Volcano on an album, a song about how women basically need to slut themselves out in order to be successful in the music industry. This is the same man Gira wasn't the only person Larkin accused, and the other was her former band leader and the woman in that group came out and said she had done this several times to different members of the band when she was off her bipolar medication.
His EX WIFE who Larkin supposedly called to tell what happen came out to his defense on this. (Larkin later deleted the facebook comment referencing this.)
And even If you still believe Larkin's account on this, despite all of this, even in her story they were both drunk off their ass to the point that they couldn't properly communicate, which is the reason why he supposedly put it in her as he thought her inviting him into bed thought she wanted to fuck him. It wasn't that he held her down and fucked her and came, even in her story it was Gira putting the tip of his dick in her then her waking up and him going "shit, what the fuck am I doing? I love my wife!". They were both drunk off their ass, and did not have full understanding of what they were doing.
There's a lot more on this, but I'm too tired to post more. This is the guy who was going to put a song about his wife surviving her own rape by someone she used to know (it wasn't Gira you stupid assholes, his wife named him when she went on a tirade about this a while back, but I forget the name because why would I remember that?), which was completely unrelated to this.
Did you guys never read To Kill a Mockingbird?
Joseph Cox
MRA
Connor Taylor
everyone knows all this, it's just memes friend, chill out
Luke Roberts
Defending a man against rape accusations is reminiscent of men's rights activists? In what sense?
Joshua Clark
pasta
Thomas Rogers
I'm not gonna sperg out about it like this guy, but pretty much this desu.
I know you're probably just trolling, but the point has nothing to do with the mentality pushed by those places. Gira is and has always been an arty bohemian type who has more or less always had a feminist slant to his music, that is unless you take certain subject matters of his songs literally, which you shouldn't do unless you're completely oblivious to anything vaguely artistic. The idea that he's some violent misogynist is founded on nothing but this one woman's word, and pretty much everyone else around the situation has spoken out against her. Obviously we'll never know what actually happened, but the point it that the idea of Gira being a legitimate rapist is so contested its not really worthy of the attention it has received.
Robert White
TGM 7.9 with 2 paragraphs on the "rape" accusation. screencap this. Personally I think TGM is a solid 9.5/10
Per
Isaac Cooper
already got dibs m8
Andrew Morgan
>Personally I think TGM is a solid 9.5/10 shit taste 2bh
Jonathan Rogers
you're right, it's an easy 9.7
Jaxon Jones
dubs and zoe lets me lick her bhole one day
Tyler James
even worse taste
Andrew Howard
fuck off zoe. it's so fucking obvious it's been you in these threads it's no longer funny. stop posting here.
Julian Brooks
>Gira is and has always been an arty bohemian type who has more or less always had a feminist slant to his music, that is unless you take certain subject matters of his songs literally, which you shouldn't do unless you're completely oblivious to anything vaguely artistic.
This. If you don't believe me, Gira was probably the inspiration for Nirvana's Rape Me, which works by the same concept. I'm not just making this up, Kurt Cobain owned a copy of Young God and likely "got" it.
Ian Green
It would be a pasta if I didn't just write it right now.
Hunter Rodriguez
Shills trying to undermine Giras best album since SFTB. when will tumblr leave?
Jayden Taylor
Delete this, Zoe can post here all she wants
She's my wife and I love her.
Jaxson Mitchell
go to bed zoe
James Anderson
it's mediocre
Evan Sanders
Dude I like the album, but that's pushing it. Seer and TBK are better, but that's to be expected since those albums are practically perfect. I'd give it an 8.8 or so.
Hudson Lee
>tryhard kys
Levi Fisher
>He actually thinks this.
Holy fuck people are a bunch of spineless cunts these days. If Lyin' Larkin' didn't make a false rape accusation people would be riding this albums bug meaty cock hard. The music industry has been infectes by beta nu-male cucks trying their best to have the privilege of licking some 7/10's third wave feminist regressive left whores fungus infested toes. Fuck off you low test beta.
James Howard
The Glowing Man does not deserve Best New Music because it is a mediocre album to follow To Be Kind.
That's why it won't get BNM. Rape has nothing to do with it.
Jaxson Jones
When people finally take off their nostalgia goggles and "muh feels" related to the seer and to be kind, they will finally realize this is the best of the 3. Its the perfect distillation of SFTB era swans and current swans.
Robert Bennett
This thread stands with Michael Gira, Freddie Gibbs, Afrika Bambaataa, Heathcliff Berru, Leslie Rasmussen, Gustavo Guerro & Dr. Luke -- and rejects the rape culture hysteria of Meagan Garvey, Amber Coffman, Larkin Grimm and Ke$ha.
Dylan Gutierrez
I'm not sure it's their best but it is the purest in concept, every song is either the process of positive self-annihilation or a discussion of it. I'm not sure where someone who liked TBK would get "mediocre" from unless they just threw it on in the background
Brody Hughes
>this albums big meaty cock any other albums this year qualify?
Angel Scott
I'm not gonna act like all of them are innocent. That's just misguided and probably not a good idea.
Rape's still a bad thing, not worse than murder but bad, and most people who accuse people of rape probably aren't lying. It's just musicians tend to have more reasons for people to accuse them of rape. Doesn't mean even half of those accusations are false.
Wyatt Foster
if p4k actually pans TGM (which, let's be honest, is anything less than BNM), how big of a hissy fit is Sup Forums gonna have?
Jaxon Sullivan
Every teenager on here is going to shitpost.
Matthew James
I think there will never be as big of a shitstorm as a burrito being thrown at your windshield
Jason Perry
The way I see it
The glowing man is better than bring the sun
Cloud of Unknowing/cloud of forgetting are better than Kirsten Supine and Nathalie Neal, The World Looks Red/The World Looks Black is better than She Loves us and Screenshot. Frankie M is better than Just a Little Boy and Oxygen. It's just a better overall album senpai.
Kevin King
SWANS is about to get a 9.5
Lincoln Mitchell
I'm really not hearing a BNM so far. It just sounds like spooky church music. How is that such a big deal that literally everyone needs to hear it? As I recall thats the intent of BNM
Jason King
so par for the course then
Parker Perry
shit, this guy saw through the sham. let's pack it up and go home boys, it was just spooky church music all along
Gavin Ortiz
GLOWING MAN 7.2 HOLY SHIT
Landon Taylor
Gibbs is likely to be guilty DESU they still have him locked up in France. Pretty sure if it was a lighter thing he'd be out one way or another. Wonder what Madlib thinks. Also, random question out of curiosity, are there any lyrics in the album having to do with Gira's case or anything that could be interpreted as such?
Landon Wood
I mean I'm literally hearing church bells right now 17:30 song 2
Zachary Ortiz
GLOWING MAN 0.0 FUCK
Ryder Hall
DEAD SARA'S GONNA SNUB SWANS TONIGHT I CAN FEEL IT
Nathaniel Miller
incoming 7.8 for Still Brazy, 8.9 for The Glowing Man, and 8.2 for Puberty 2
Jordan Miller
>GM 9.5 >GM 9.5 HAPPENEING
Dylan Myers

Zachary Lewis
Reminder: Whatever albums on this chart are not reviewed by Pitchfork by 1 AM eastern time on Friday will be marked "BITCHFORK".
Brandon Brooks
>no swans >no ferraro what are they thinking???
Charles Cooper
Listening to it for the first time right now. Loving it.
Connor Carter
So, it probably doesn't bode well for Swans that they're this late reviewing it, right?
Ethan Cox
It just came out Friday so if they don't review it this week then I'd worry.
Christian Jackson
Massive review about "rape culture" is going to be dropped.
Michael Cox
pitchfork only posts one sensational pageview generating review a night. the rhcp pan is just the beginning. tune in tomorrow for round 2
William Anderson
I think p4k doesn't like to publish important reviews on monday.
Asher Wood
BNM Breakdown by day from July 24, 2012 Monday: 49 Tuesday: 35 Wednesday: 18 Thursday: 16 Friday: 27 Of other note, three of the past five AOTYs were Monday BNMs (MBDTF, Bon Iver, and MVotC).
Anthony King
where the fuck is swans?
Jeremiah Cooper
nobody on /p4k/ would dare pan daddy gira on a national holiday. tomorrow is glowing man 7.4 burrito pan. get used to it
Cameron Bailey
Incoming Human Story 3: 7.6
Luke Murphy
>7.4 burrito pan this is what every p4k dependent artist fears the most, right? the burrito, when they can't even be bothered to properly pan your ass
Jordan Morris
I think the worst is the no review You're not even worth a review spot
Hunter Ramirez
Honestly this. There's a reason they've never reviewed Vessel or Blurry Face. Because it's not even worth their fucking time.
Matthew Rogers
How much of a shit storm would there be if they didn't review TGM?
