what the hell is wrong with pitchfork

<< < (2/10) > >>

Kyros:
I always enjoy reading a Pitchfork article only because they really are very well written.  You can't take them too seriously though, I mean christ it's just a friggin record review.

And cmon, for all you know that Timberlake record could be amazing, willing to be you haven't listened to it correct?(Niether have I, just saying)

--- Quote from: Skittish ---You realize a pop album can be good, right?

I'm more disappointed at the Black Keys (6.0) review.

pop can be good. i like it every once in a while. i had a TA 2 years ago who taught one of my studio classes who loved justin timberlake. the class was going to chip in and buy it for him for christmas, but since we didn't tell him, he ended up buying it himself. we listened to it in class. (i don't really like what timberlake talks about in his songs, but he is talented.)

the black keys thing is sad. those guys are amazing. :(

ImRonBurgundy?:
Pitchfork hates Jawbreaker.  So fuck 'em.

Praeserpium Machinarum:
I used to have a lot of animosity towards Pitchfork but now that I am more zen I do like tommy. I ignore them.
That said, that review is actually pretty decent.
The cd might be good(despite the ridiculous name) but I really think Timbaland should shut up and stick to making funky beats.


--- Quote ---Don't even look at the ratings, the editors have said long ago they treat them as a joke and encourage their reviewers to do the same.

Then why do they have them? I write for a music mag that has no ratings and it works brilliantly. A number says little about the music and when that number is just a joke...

thermodynamics:
pitchfork can be bad but it can be good as well.

i don't have time to keep up with everyone who releases a cd, so once every week or two i'll go to pitchfork and see what came out. most of their reviews i don't agree with, but if they praise something or say it is interesting, you can go to amazon (or the like) and listen to 30 second clips to see if it is agreeable or not. The last ten or so albums i bought have been because of reviews someone had written (not just pitchfork) and i listened to clips and fell in love.

Pitchfork reviews pretty much everything i am potentially interested in listening to, so if nothing else, you can treat it as a resource for raw info.
