This thread rejects the rape culture hysteria of Amber Coffman, Ke$ha, Larkin Grimm, Meagan Garvey, Pitchfork, et al.

were on an ultralighht beem

9.3

Same question guys:
Can Frank top/ tie 9.1?

yea easily

i feel like it will probably get under a 9.5 but above a 9.1.
endless probably an eight point something, or below. hard to know. has anybody seen any pitchfork employees talking about either of them on twitter

Frank predictions:
Endless 8.1 no BNM
Blonde 9.2

can he? definitely
should he? lol no, the album blows

9.4 or 9.6 guaranteed

>Pitchfork patricians
oxymoron

Let's have 'em, /p4k/: what are your honest thoughts about Endless and Blonde before Pitchfork tells us what to think.

I only care about the CC score to see if they'll side with Alice.

i'm thinking something 9.5-10 BNM for Blonde and anywhere between 8-9 for Endless.

Still really in love with both of these albums. And I can't get over the Alex G collaborations. Amazing that they exsit! I love 2016!

vevo
i feel triggered everytime i see that.

Blonde: 9.5
Endless: 8.0

have we reached a consensus on the top 200 songs of the 70's?
i thought it was significantly less awful than their top 200 80's, but some of the placings were retarded.

Can and should. I'm saying 9.5+

i still doubt it will break much higher than 9.1 if it even gets above it

i personally feel around an 8.9 BNM but pitchfork is shit so he'll get above a 9. it's not as good as channel orange so i don't think it'll get above 9.5. let's see if pitchfork takes us on another 4 way AOTY BNM trip - i'm officially betting on a 9.1. endless will get the 8.1 no BNM meme treatment.

i have a feeling they won't review them tonight. they'll do a bundle review and release it on monday.

>Can Frank top
yeah but he mostly likes bottoming

Four way tie again
Frank and Bon Iver are getting 9.1 BNM

Are they ever gonna review Crystal Castles?

tonight, 6.7

see

not until Ethan apologizes for raping Alice all those years and does some hard prison time.

no frank today

crystal castles light pan

Endless tonight. Blonde for Friday.

frank getting a 9.3

9.1 is the new 9.3

9.5 my dad is pitchfork

Who wants to bet tonight is just Endless and they do Blonde on Friday?

nostalgia, ultra and channel orange are boring af

why all this frank hype baka

9.9. screenshot this

lol hes gonna get bjork'd

10. it would be disrespectful to give a homosexual black rap artist anything else

deserves the 10

9/7.5

...

AAAAAAAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

ITS A 9.0

FUCKING PANNED

C u c K

Lmao first time a 9.0 feels like a pan

lol do you realize The Life of Pablo got rated the same

NIGHTLY RUNDOWN
Frank Ocean 9.0 BNM / 7.0 by Ryan Dombal
Atomic Bomb Compilation Vol. 4 7.7 by Patrick St. Michel
Peter Broderick 7.6 by Saby Reyes-Kulkarni
Battle Trance 7.5 by Seth Colter Walls

holy kek, holy cuck. fucking panned!!! FUCKING PANNED

PANNED

triggered. this is homophobic and racist.

I was expecting 9.1, but hey. They Pablo'd this thing.

(This is better than Pablo wtf)

Thom's still on top

Coloring Book got a higher score.

jesus, i can't believe a british, middle-aged rock band beat out a bisexual black man's long awaited followup experimental rnb album

are we sure this is pitchfork?

7.5 m8

>Frank Ocean 9.0 BNM / 7.5 by Ryan Dombal

PANNED

>RYAN "THE TASTEMAKER" DOMBAL STRIKES AGAIN

PITCHFORK IS GREAT AGAIN

Honestly does feel like a pan though. Album is probably a 8.5 but they should've at least given it a 9.2 to earn the AOTY

Jesus fuck this just makes me hate Coloring Book even more. Literally fuck that overhyped kids bop rap album.

>frank ocean
>peanut butter

holy shit forgot Coloring Book was rated better to. their end of year list is going to be hilarious, there's no way Blond won't pass TLOP/Coloring Book

I FUCKING TOLD YOU ALL

Chance is so overrated its ridiculous

Fuck off, cuck

>rap

what the fuck

Coloring Book is unironically my AOTY, and i don't even read pitchfuck

How the fuck do you give Blonde a lower score than TLOP or Coloring Book. Both those albums were awful.

...

what's it called when they do two reviews in one? slideshow review? cop-out? boxset reviews?

I personally gave Blonde an 8.4 at most in my mind, they're being quite generous with that 9.

Well... is anything else gonna scale the mountain and clench a 9.2 at least? Angel Olsen? LCD Soundsystem? Run the Jewels? Chromatics? Michael Bublé?

>TLOP
>awful
pick one

Coloring Book is debatable. But TLOP was quite impressive considering how eclectic and all over the place Kanye has been since MBDTF.

lcd's last two albums got a 9.2 so who knows.... maybe the comeback hype will boost it a bit

nothing is getting an 9.2 this year, or maybe ever again, at least not likely with the way p4k operates these

22, a million has potential to do it

New Bon Iver will get a 9.4 screen cap this

Bon Iver & American Football definitely. Maybe Flying Lotus?

they're saving it for the inevitable katy perry shoegaze album

I love Angel, but My Woman is going to get an 8.6 or 8.7 at most with BNM

It got the same score as TLOP. TLOP was a much better album tho. The original review doesn't even have the patches priced in.

How the fuck did Coloring Book score higher than Blonde?

The double wammy

Actually, I could see Angel Olsen's latest being added to the 9.1 club

I love how the review starts with a big social justice rant about how difficult it is to be a black person in America when the album has literally nothing to do with that topic aside from literally one line on Nikes.

The length at which they are pushing their liberal agenda is hilarious. If it had a song on it dedicated to BLM I have no doubt this album would have gotten 10.

8.5 or 8.3 its the new p4k median bnm

I could see both Chromatics and Angel Olsen entering the 9 range, with Chromatics potentially getting a 10

Bon Iver might

Danny Brown has a lowkey chance, his 2 singles so far got BNM

Because they aren't rating these albums against each other. They don't say "this album can't get a high score because a completely seperate album exists"

pitchfork are homophobes and racists

Oh my fucking lord this review is almost like comically offensive. They quote Chris Rock saying that a black artist shouldn't be obliged to their race, but then they try to make the whole review about Frank Ocean in the context of race IT WAS ONE TREYVON REFERENCE DAMN YOU GUYS EAT THIS SHIT UP

>Coloring Book got a 9.1
Rap fans stopped talking about that thing after 3 days, wtf Pitchfork.

also Prima Donna EP has a really lowkey chance

Go away, Montie

Bon Iver is a maybe and Nick Cave has some dark horse potential. Skeleton Tree is going to be heart rending.

>we've reached a point in popular music history in which we can predict critics' reactions to nl album based solely on its presumed genre and the artist's age, color and gender
