Peeetchfork! They rule!
El Opium:
I think Pitchfork has like one token female writer Amanda Petruesh (last name certainly spelt wrong) most online music mags can't even get that. I still read Pitchfork but they don't seem to review much in my field anymore and as demonstrated here they try to be far too clever with the writing.
Praeserpium Machinarum:
I have always thought that most of Pitchforks staff were idiots, they rarely talk about the music, just pulls off pseudo-intellectual crap instead. Though they are sometimes arsed to actually write their opinion, and then it's pretty either shit or heavenly nectar. The problem as I see is that they are not even trying to be objective, instead they let all their personal "baggage", flood their reviews. But alas they are the only foreign mag I know of besides Rolling Stone and NME...
...and they hate Mars Volta AND Tool, that I cannot forgive :(
Kai:
And because they hate TMV and Tool, that's exactly why I don't entirely hate them.
godbowstomath:
I fucking love pitchfork, especially when nick sylvester writes stuff like this:

KharBevNor:
My favourite indie site review I've ever seen is Tinymixtapes review of NIN - With Teeth. That was actually pretty awesome. As far as overall goes, there's a review somewhere of 'Crotchduster - Big Fat Box of Shit' which ends with the reviewer giving it 'a million fucking snarly evil metal skulls with knives stuck in their heads out of ten' which I thought was pretty awesome.
