Titus Andronicus being robbed once again? Dead Sara finally getting an 8.3 BNM? Ian FUCKIN' Cohen? Ryan "THE TASTEMAKER" Dombal? Lindsay "qt feminist" Zoladz? [retired patrician, memory lives on forever] Jayson "8.7" Greene? Larry "retired BNM godfather" Fitzmaurice? Craig "Meme Rap" Jenkins? [taking the Big Apple’s publications by storm] Brandon “Meme Metal” Stosuy? [retired, metal albums still won't get BNM, everyone still won't care] qt Kim "retired Meal Goddess now at Noisey" Kelly? Grayson "Grizzly" Currin? Brian "Backup" Howe? Mark "the elder statesman" Richardson? Evan "IS GARAGE ROCK DEAD" Minsker? Meaghan “retired trap queen" Garvey? Andy "secretly alpha" Beta? Zoe "¡DALE!"

Carter Collins

Adrian Torres
comb day garr son comb day garr son comb day garr son
Ryan Wright
This thread rejects the rape culture hysteria of Amber Coffman, Ke$ha, Larkin Grimm, Meagan Garvey, Pitchfork, et al.
John Baker
were on an ultralighht beem
Julian Bell
9.3
Owen Young
Same question guys: Can Frank top/ tie 9.1?
Camden Reed
yea easily
Christopher Allen
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
Joshua Perez
Frank predictions: Endless 8.1 no BNM Blonde 9.2
Dylan Lee
can he? definitely should he? lol no, the album blows
Jordan Harris
9.4 or 9.6 guaranteed
Andrew Powell
>Pitchfork patricians oxymoron
Chase Thomas
Let's have 'em, /p4k/: what are your honest thoughts about Endless and Blonde before Pitchfork tells us what to think.
Kevin Howard
I only care about the CC score to see if they'll side with Alice.
Julian Long
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!
Cameron Hall
vevo i feel triggered everytime i see that.
Oliver Powell
Blonde: 9.5 Endless: 8.0
Hunter Smith
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.
Jonathan Hall
Can and should. I'm saying 9.5+
Juan Morris
i still doubt it will break much higher than 9.1 if it even gets above it
Asher Jones
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.
Thomas Smith
>Can Frank top yeah but he mostly likes bottoming
Cameron Young
Four way tie again Frank and Bon Iver are getting 9.1 BNM
Kayden Nguyen
Are they ever gonna review Crystal Castles?
David Baker

Owen Sanders

crystal castles light pan
Connor Young
Endless tonight. Blonde for Friday.
Justin Reed
frank getting a 9.3
Kayden White
9.1 is the new 9.3
Jack Richardson
9.5 my dad is pitchfork
Cameron Mitchell
Who wants to bet tonight is just Endless and they do Blonde on Friday?
Charles Foster
nostalgia, ultra and channel orange are boring af
why all this frank hype baka
Jackson Gutierrez
9.9. screenshot this
Carson Edwards

James Miller

William Harris

Mason Sanchez
9/7.5
Jayden Edwards

Easton Foster

Zachary Baker

Lmao first time a 9.0 feels like a pan
Owen Hill
lol do you realize The Life of Pablo got rated the same
Nicholas Gomez
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
I was expecting 9.1, but hey. They Pablo'd this thing.
(This is better than Pablo wtf)
Lincoln Martin
Thom's still on top
Parker Ramirez
Coloring Book got a higher score.
Landon Edwards
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?
Tyler Long
7.5 m8
Austin Allen
>Frank Ocean 9.0 BNM / 7.5 by Ryan Dombal
Blake Flores
PANNED A N N E D
John Bell
>RYAN "THE TASTEMAKER" DOMBAL STRIKES AGAIN
Liam Ramirez
PITCHFORK IS GREAT AGAIN
Josiah Roberts
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
Colton Mitchell
Jesus fuck this just makes me hate Coloring Book even more. Literally fuck that overhyped kids bop rap album.
Dylan Thomas
>There are precedents for this sort of thing, for disappearances, for the self-implosion of black genius. >mfw blacks can't handle being smart
Noah Scott
>black genius >beyonce >lauryn hill >d'angelo >chris rock >frank ocean >peanut butter
Leo Roberts
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
Angel Collins
I FUCKING TOLD YOU ALL
Brody Brown
Chance is so overrated its ridiculous
Brody Gomez
Fuck off, cuck
William Foster
>rap
Connor Bailey
what the fuck
Coloring Book is unironically my AOTY, and i don't even read pitchfuck
Carter Bennett
How the fuck do you give Blonde a lower score than TLOP or Coloring Book. Both those albums were awful.
Jaxson Young
...
Jackson Jones
what's it called when they do two reviews in one? slideshow review? cop-out? boxset reviews?
Matthew Flores
I personally gave Blonde an 8.4 at most in my mind, they're being quite generous with that 9.
Jose Powell
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?
Sebastian Hernandez
>TLOP >awful pick one
Elijah Rivera
Coloring Book is debatable. But TLOP was quite impressive considering how eclectic and all over the place Kanye has been since MBDTF.
Jeremiah Kelly
lcd's last two albums got a 9.2 so who knows.... maybe the comeback hype will boost it a bit
Nolan Brown
nothing is getting an 9.2 this year, or maybe ever again, at least not likely with the way p4k operates these
Cameron Sanders
22, a million has potential to do it
Nicholas Torres
New Bon Iver will get a 9.4 screen cap this
Parker Diaz
Bon Iver & American Football definitely. Maybe Flying Lotus?
Ryan Myers
they're saving it for the inevitable katy perry shoegaze album
Hudson Price
I love Angel, but My Woman is going to get an 8.6 or 8.7 at most with BNM
Chase Watson
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.
Elijah Nelson
How the fuck did Coloring Book score higher than Blonde?
Nicholas Davis
The double wammy
Jaxson Robinson
Actually, I could see Angel Olsen's latest being added to the 9.1 club
Luke Lopez
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.
Bentley Carter
8.5 or 8.3 its the new p4k median bnm
Carson Perry
I could see both Chromatics and Angel Olsen entering the 9 range, with Chromatics potentially getting a 10
Jeremiah Thompson
Bon Iver might
Danny Brown has a lowkey chance, his 2 singles so far got BNM
Logan Harris
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"
Levi Thompson
pitchfork are homophobes and racists
Mason Watson
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
Jack Adams
>Coloring Book got a 9.1 Rap fans stopped talking about that thing after 3 days, wtf Pitchfork.
Caleb Bailey
also Prima Donna EP has a really lowkey chance
Nathaniel Barnes
Go away, Montie
Wyatt Morales
Bon Iver is a maybe and Nick Cave has some dark horse potential. Skeleton Tree is going to be heart rending.
Tyler Reyes
>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
