ITT: P4K being dead wrong

Post reviews where Pitchfork was ridiculously wrong about an album. Starting off with this dreaded review of a masterpiece.

Daily reminder that Pitchfork ratings literally mean nothing.

>literally making a thread about thing that very thread claims means literally nothing

This was stupidest thing i ever read on pitchfork and that says a lot

...

>plays sax with the schmaltziest
Never Forget

>implying that's worse than their FtM 'rating'

Agree, these should be much lower

And anything experimental

P4K reviews just meme, not music itself. They just struggle to make new arcade fire. Shit at all.

That recent Queer Punk Folk thing they reviewed.

>higher than TGM
Yeah, nah.

...

>The Animal collective...

...

The Frances the Mute review is even worse. Probably the most pretentious and pointlessly negative review I've read that isn't also by Pitchfork .

this is right tho

SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT PITCHFORK ALREADY JESUS

Numerical ratings should be outlawed

...

...

The album was a 5

such a high rating for this pile of suckage

IF U ACTUALLY THINK PW>DM UR INBRED

...

Shit band

...

I didn't even know about this one, wow

Literally ever single Mars Volta album P4K reviews.

They obviously didn't notice the selly-ester watts on it

I bet they had some beef with the band

THEY DIDN'T EVEN REVIEW NOCTOURNIQUET

How has this not been posted yet?

I'm a fucking idiot

>octahedron is the best TMV album reviewed by Pitchfork
>mfw

Congratulations is their only good album

This is correct

>that second paragraph

Would be a fantastic album but almost all of the features are terrible. Midcity is so much better

Thank you on posting the actual review. It's kind of underappreciated how terrible P4K's actual reviews are, not just the score. Anyone can give a disagreeable score to an album, but it takes a special kind of asshole to write shit like this.

Remember that Pitchfork reviews are also based on album hype and politics surrounding the album.

hence Trans Day of Revenge getting 8.5 BNW
:/

these trigger me

this album actually does suck tho

...

You don't even need to post the Lupe fiasco here for our ti be cringe. They have FUTURE AN 8 POINT FUCKING 2????
P4k reviewers are plebs

too generous

It's honestly a good raiting. There are a few good tracks but too many are just uninteresting. Floridada and golden girl are 10/10 though

but this is a good album

>muh female in male-dominated genre
>muh bleep avant-wankerings
>muh entitled to BNM b/c vagina

I challenge any of you to try to finish this "song".

fuck you, that album is amazing and in my top 5 for the year it came out

that song is the only flaw

>le p4k boogeyman said my album is bad ;(

These threads are pure fucking shitposts.

Fuck you. This was the most pretentious, boring album I listened to last year, of which I listened to many. Sorry for your shit avant-garde taste.

this review pisses me off. reviewer is a pleb. even scaruffi rated 1st imaginary symphony for nomad really well

fucking brent dicrescenzo man

>Brent DiCrescenzo
Most of the posts of these threads are due to this hack.
>The Fragile
>Something to Write Home About
>NYC Ghosts & Flowers
>Lateralus
He panned all of these, all of which are posted in these threads often. Then that fucking Kid A review is the cherry on top.

Niggas on the Moon - 6.8
I Get Wet (original score) - 0.6

lol I checked out the fragile review (pic related)

What kind of critic is that ?

Besides :
>Criticizing the lyrics

>pretentious
>boring

nice meme buzzwords

why don't you try describing the album in actual musical terms next time, if you can.

this is correct tho, and i even like lupe

Giving both U2 and Blur 9.5s

How to get your band attention:

>be angry minority/trans with terrible views
>blame society for all your problems
>get enough attention for p4k to suck your dick

congrats, you're shit band has made it.

>developmentally retarded mental functioning

He wrote the best reviews though

>The first song is called "The Grudge," and it's about astrology and how people control stuff. Maynard sings like a robot or clone at the opening, spitting, "Wear the crutch like a crown/ Calculate what we will/ Will not tolerate/ Desperate to control/ All and everything." Tool know about space and math, and it's pretty complex. "Saturn ascends/ Not one but ten," he sings. No Doubt and R.E.M. sang out that, too, but those songs were wimpy and short. Maynard shows his intelligence with raw stats. I think there's meaning behind those numbers, like calculus. He also mentions "prison cell" and "tear it down" and "controlling" and "sinking deeper," which all symbolize how he feels. Seven minutes into the song, he does this awesome scream for 24 seconds straight, which is like the longest scream I've ever heard. Then at the end there's this part where Danny Carey hits every drum he has. This wall of drums just pounds you. Then the next song starts and it's quiet and trippy. Tool are the best metal band, since they can get trippy (almost pretty, but in a dark way) then just really loud. Most bands just do loud, so Tool is more prog.

>Daily reminder that Pitchfork ratings literally mean nothing.
>posts the rating of an album and not the written review

Hey dude your backpack's unzipped lemme help you with that

Should be higher.

This

an album of generic punk where every song is about the same down with cis/smash the patriarchy bullshit?

>REVOLUTIONARY 8.5

lol pitchfork your politics are showing
