What's your favorite music review site?

<< < (4/7) > >>

scarred:
The only thing that really bothers me about Pitchfork, besides their more avid readers and their tendency for ridiculous hyperbole, is their rating system. Often I'll read a review that's almost entirely positive, but an album will have a 6.9 or 7.3.

Also does anyone know how their stupid Best New Music thing works? I can't figure it out. It usually goes to albums that get 8.0>, right? So why does it seem arbitrary? I keep seeing 8.1s and 8.4s but no BNM.

KvP:
It's their arbitrary stamp of approval. It's the "go ahead and talk about this at LES parties" designation.

Vuk:
Haha, I saw a chick walk out of a record store not too long ago, with every LP that Pitchfork had on their Best New Music. Not to mention, that same record store sold a record I saw at a show for 20 bucks for over 40.

valley_parade:
...was it That's Entertainment in Worcester?

God their prices are horrid.

How did she carry hundreds of records at a time?
