NOPE

reminder that every year for the last six years you guys freak out about these lists and say "P4K is dead" yet you still continue to read them and discuss them.

Wow it's almost like the marketing team at Pitchfork undertands these things and adjusts their content accordingly. Fuck them for trying to appeal to their target demo right? You're right though, they should have picked some super cool indie record that no one gives a fuck about for their AOTY so they could drive away readers.

The queen not only made the album of the year (and make no mistake, David Bowie would have been the first to say so), she delivered a confessional, genre-devouring suite that feels larger than life yet still heartbreakingly intimate, because it doubles as her portrait of a nation in flames. She dropped Lemonade as a Saturday-night surprise after her HBO special, moving in on every strain of American music from country ("Daddy Lessons") to blues-metal ("Don't Hurt Yourself") to post-punk-gone-Vegas dancehall ("Hold Up") to feminist hip-hop windshield-smashing ("Sorry"). Even with "All Night" as an ambiguous resolution, it's a whole album of hurt, which is why it especially hit home after the election. Beyoncé speaks on how it feels to get sold out by a lover – or a nation – that fooled you into feeling safe, how it feels to break free of a home built on lies.

Blackstar and Blonde deserve to be there and are good albums on their own regardless of the context and skin color of the people who wrote them

You have 10 seconds to prove me wrong

Me too! Too bad Anthony Fantano didn't give Solange a good review so I can't listen to that anymore :/

Any decent albums from pitchfork tops?
Already downloaded Huerco S, Pinegrove, White Lung and Solange (yeah)
