Cameron Gray
what's everyone listening to?
Thomas Martin
QUICK!
Post your AOTYs before you all change your minds once P4K reveals theirs
Lemonade is a worthy pick imo
Noah Reyes
It's pretty awesome
Sebastian Powell
Yves Tumor - Serpent Music
I hope it makes their top 50 this year
Elijah Miller
will is the only non-legacy white guy in the top 20. in the top 50, it's just hamilton leithauser, kevin morby and parquet courts.
Owen Barnes
I'm not Will.
Promise.
Jaxson Jones
...
Ayden Peterson
Honkies can't into music anymore. Sad!
Michael Brown
meme of the decade.
Michael Perez
Anohni though
Liam Wood
transphobia has no place here. pls leave.
Brayden Brown
Chances this gets 8.0+?
I like it but DESU it's 0
Henry Mitchell
Fake and gay
Nathan Perez
honourable mentions predictions? >Slime Season 3 >Awaken, My Love >Everybody Looking >Views >Sleep Cycle >The Divine Feminine >Bottomless Pit
Liam Richardson
Eric Andre released an album?
Oliver Miller
is tonight the night?
Christopher Sanders
They p& VIEWS tho
Luis Phillips
I swear it's not just because he died
Brody Williams
Biggest crime of the SOTY list is the absence of Me and Your Mama
Brandon Russell
The only 9.0+ album I see getting AOTY is Coloring Book
>AMSP not high enough in the Radiohead discography. Giving this AOTY makes everything else look bad >Thank You For Your Service see above >Hopelessness Inflated 9 >22 A Million Inflated 9 >Blonde Inflated 9, Channel Orange will clearly be considered the classic >TLOP repeat artists are too boring, and Kanye's meltdown makes it touchy. Also inflated >Skeleton Tree doesn't fit the mood of the year. Too personal
Based on the SOTY list, I think Beyoncé, Solange, and Bowie are all possibilities
Landon Rodriguez
nah to either. They'll be top 10 though. AOTY is either Frank Ocean or Chance the Rapper or, if they really want to throw a curve ball, Solange. My guess is Chance
Elijah Gutierrez
also, Endless>Blond
Logan Turner
i work at p4k, and the aoty is beyonce. a girl has never won, and that was a big sticking point with the editors--plus we gets points for black.
Thomas Sanchez
wtf I hate women now
Adrian Brown
Well, there was The Knife
Cameron Miller
yo is there a new weird al out
John Lewis
...
Lincoln Price
wait, what's happening tonight?
Isaac Hernandez
Aleppo is being liberated for good.
Lucas Watson
AOTY list, probably
Austin Morris
What about the al-Nusra Front?
Charles Anderson
just the Honorable Mentions tho, probably
Benjamin Davis
extermination for all salafist dogs
Hudson Ramirez
pitchfork is over.
John Martin
i want to be, eee, eee, eee the apple uh of your eye
Landon Smith
Yeah, the honorable mentions came out the day before last year so we definitely are not getting the albums of the year yet.
Matthew Morales
I made a bet with a friend that j cole gets less than a 7.. think I'll win?
Caleb Wright
duh. since when has p4k ever liked him. 4 Your Eyez Only is not redeeming material, m8.
Ayden Jackson
top 5 albums will be 1. beyonce 2. frank ocean 3. solange 4. radiohead 5. chance the rapper
believe it
Sebastian Long
it's pretty awesome how p4k has devolved into complete negro worship with the token slots reserved for dadrock like radiohead
Aiden Torres
...
Camden Rodriguez
I'll be disappointed if you're right about Solange.
I think it will be 1. Beyoncé 2. Frank Ocean 3. Chance the Rapper 4. David Bowie 5. Angel Olsen
Owen Reed
no way bowie doesnt make top 5
Aiden Hughes
1. Blackstar 2. A Moon Shaped Pool 3. 22, a Million 4. Skeleton Tree 5. My Woman 6. Sirens 7. You Want it Darker 8. Wildflower 9. Next Thing 10. Teens of Denial
Thus p4k ushers in the 2nd White Era
Josiah Rivera
lmao
Joshua Morris
desu Pitchfork giving Beyonce AOTY would be the absolute lowest thing they have ever done.
Brayden Howard
kek. The worst part is that this was p4k until like 2010, when Kanye fucked it all up. I'm telling you, MBDTF's 10/10 changed Pitchfork forever.
Carson Flores
If this happens I will deep fry a sock, eat it and post it here with this tripcode.
they aren't doing honorable mentions -- they did the various '20 best' lists instead for whatever reason. probably because it would get them more pageviews.
Noah Morgan
It was the rise of kendrick that did it. Somewhere between section 80 and good kid madd city, they went full retard and started giving good scores to shit like rich kidz
Luke Perez
oh yeah, that would make more sense. fuck. p4k has changed for good.
Mason Parker
if dubs car seat headrest squeezes into the top ten.
Adrian Morales
my guess 1. frank ocean 2. solange 3. beyonce (2 & 3 are interchangable) 4. chance 5. i dunno probably bowie maybe nick cave but i doubt it
1. Bowie 2. Beyonce 3. Frank 4. Solange 5. Kanye 6. Anohni 7. Chance 8. Nick Cave 9. Angel Olsen 10. Car Seat Headrest
Isaac Nguyen
just proof that it's time to man up and fight white genocide, user.
Benjamin Myers
this is the ideal list. I'd put Bowie above Beyonce tho, but this is Pitchfork so you know they gonna put her up some
Isaiah Clark
why did they choose Ultralight Beam, Real Friends, and No More Parties in LA over Famous, Waves, Saint Pablo, 30 Hours, etc, etc etc ?
Luis Myers
Seth Colter Walls should write all the reviews. He's a champ and patrician
Oliver Taylor
waste of a year. pointless job. his parents are not proud of him. guaranteed.
John Hill
1. frank 2. radiohead 3. chance 4. beyonce 5. tribe
i'm confident that they won't give it to beyonce. p4k at least tries vaguely to remain sort of hip and indie like they were in the past, i don't think they'd give the most top 40 of top 40 the AOTY. maybe that's just wishful thinking though.
Colton Gutierrez
I really don't think they're gonna put Chance or Radiohead in the top five. if they do, it'll be one at #5. no way they'll be ahead of Bowie, the Knowles sisters, and Frank.
Austin Lee
remember to log in tomorrow and call them cucks or whatever
Nicholas Gray
damn, he wrote a fuckton of reviews and he could only give out 2 BNMs both of which were restricted to artists that were already pitchfork co-signed poor guy
James Ortiz
>all this bitterness about Beyoncé Lemonade is good lads
Matthew Gray
Waves has chris brown on it they are not gonna celebrate that Saint Pablo and 30 hours not high profile enough to put in a top 100 tracks famous idk i really thought they'd have that
its worth noting real friends and nmpila were both released as soundcloud "singles" before the album came out
Ultra light beam is just an incredible song tho and well deserved number 1 although I wouldve picked cranes in the sky
Jack Ramirez
This is the first I have ever listened to My Blood Valentine. I thought it would be loud and jarring but it's actually soothing and melodic. I'm blown away.
Nathan Nguyen
guess maybe we need to put Saby "Literally Who" Reyes-Kulkarni, Seth Colter Walls, and maybe Sheldon Pearce and Stuart Berman in the OP
probably Stuart Berman tho, seems like he's been around awhile
Evan Williams
I really want to but I love Mark. Mark is the only one still there that I respect. Also, I literally have that sweater. Wtf?
But we do need to raid it.
Logan Allen
listen to loveless
Daniel Hall
what bitterness lmao most people seem to like the album even if they do feel its a tad overrated
Hunter Turner
>Lemonade >good
Kevin Cook
...
Jaxson Gomez
lemonade movie is best piece of art of the year
the album by itself doesnt stand up as well though imo
Juan Stewart
hey! that's their worst album btw (though i rate them all 10/10 so it's really just a matter of personal preference with me)
Oliver Morgan
Its not a fucking movie. Every song just has a video its fucking stupid.
Elijah Hill
how about we ask them actual questions
Nathaniel Nguyen
>lemonade movie is best piece of art of the year
lol. jesus christ. how the hell do you evaluate artistic merit?
Hunter Cox
p4k should put photos next to their bylines. if only ppl could see what faggots and ccuks and fatasses and landwhales and ugmos and wwk's the reviewers really are.
Kevin Martinez
And I love it so far. I'm 25 minutes in. That must mean the other two are much better. I can't wait to give those a listen too then.
Jason Rogers
have you watched it?
Thomas Jenkins
>wwk i am unfamiliar with this slur. whatsit mean?
Ethan Morgan
white working klass
Dominic Jackson
ehhh. just made it up. not really sure if i even like it.
wwk = we wuz kangz
David Turner
Isn't Anything has a much rougher sound. You'll probably adore Loveless though.
and m b v is an album subdivided into very distinct thirds. post what you think after you get to the last section...
Elijah Powell
i like it
Luke Perry
SLAY
Kevin Brown
see I understand not liking it, but everyone dislikes some of Pitchfork's favorite music. It doesn't matter.
Jack Phillips
they are be sure to give their eps a listen too tremolo is some good shit
