The question we should be asking instead is who will make a better album than Yeezus because according to Pitchfork and their rating system no one has.
Landon Anderson
theyve never rated better than 9.5?
Aiden Diaz
Not since their Yeezus review no
Dominic Gray
WHICH ONE IS REAL?
Gavin Turner
I like how Pitchfork acts like there were multiple 10s all throughout the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s and that there hasn't been a 10 since 2010. They only do this because it makes their drones more hyped and stokes interest from others.
Pitchfork survives off autism.
Caleb Davis
Blonde should have been a 10. It will have a similar affect on r&b as mbdtf had on hip hop.
Tyler Bennett
personally I think it's because they're too afraid to codify anything as a classic, and possibly be wrong, idk
they could have totally done it with TPAB or Blond or MVOTC or whatever but they didnt, maybe it's because they've changed how they generate the scores, maybe we won't ever get a 10 again because they'll always have one writer who thinks its not perfect.
Aiden Jones
Welcome back, friend
John Mitchell
this
Julian Young
glad to be back duderino
Brayden Williams
they'll probably keep it safe and only slap 10s on these albums many years later with a re-review
Camden Collins
Exactly what I was thinking.
I hate them so much.
Connor Phillips
How have you been? Still stuck working with matlab? It's been almost 7 years since the last 10. Damn.
Tyler Rodriguez
I think when people get mad about the numbers, they're actually mad at themselves for only giving a shit about a number.
Jack Green
Not at all. I am angry that the numbers hold influence and meaning for so many.
Aaron Taylor
nah, i work in a lab doing hands on work now
Joseph Perry

>The moralistic part of this censorship was even more ridiculous. To give you one example, I collaborated with the concrete poet Décio Pignatari in making the album Todos os Olhos in 1973, which led to the idea of putting an anus on the album cover—an unimaginable crime. My record company could not know, the graphic artists could not know, and this gesture could not be leaked at all. Then Décio set up the scene to make this album cover using a green marble placed in an anus, which signified the “asshole” that Brazil had become under the regime. When the cover came out, nobody suspected anything. Only years later, when David Byrne wrote the liner notes for The Best of Tom Zé, everyone found out what the image on the album cover really was. By that time, the dictatorship had been over for some time.
