aw, i actually really enjoyed the bluntness of that summary:
The failings of Alt-J's sophomore effort have little to do with hype or unfair standards and everything to do with the album in question being really dull and tuneless

At one that I saw in late 2012, he reminded me of a cat, drawing the audience in by pulling away, rolling over and showing his softer, playful side only to snap back into cool focus.

The show I saw, when his guitar player tried to rub his belly he scratched him hard enough to draw blood. Lots of gasps then applause.

I like the phrasing of the headline "Kendrick Lamar freestyles for six minutes on Power 106, gets interviewed." As if the interview happened because he freestyled for six minutes. "WHO ARE YOU? WHAT JUST HAPPENED?"

Although "Chimes" may mark a step forward in one regard, it's also static in terms of tempo. The remix provided by prolific UK producer Gammer that bookends the EP suffers from the same problem: it's sped up and flecked with added percussion, but it also lacks a push-pull velocity change.
this is a very weird criticism.

i hate how dance songs don't just randomly change tempos in the the middle of the song
― bozack horseman (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 15:57 (nine years ago) link
whoever wrote that clearly has no idea who Gammer is otherwise they would have noted how incongruous it is to have a happy hardcore doyen remixing Hudson Mohawke
(the preview of it on Beatport sounded neat just now fwiw!)

For five years, PC Worship have been the sort of amorphous New York ensemble that can only be defined by a series of question marks. Is this an improv noise collective? A "mutant soul band"? A casual experiment in home-recording? If so, why is their loft called Le Wallet? Did they really all meet as New School jazz majors? Is it true they build their own instruments? And why is one called "the shitar"?

PC Worship is, in essence, a twisted, low-pitched vision of subterranean psychedelia—variously made of bad-moon-lit trash-punk, droning minimalism, prepared pianos, and Albert Ayler-worshipping sax freak-outs

Hell Can Wait is a debut for rapper Vince Staples, but it’s really a refinement, the end result of a years long search for the right producer. His jump to Def Jam is a case study in the enduring merit of good old-fashioned artist development.

It's their first hiphop bnm of the year, and the first half of the review is about how Vince Staples dislikes the rest of hiphop...

On September 30, Daniel Crespo, the mayor of the Los Angeles suburb of Bell Gardens, was shot and killed. It wasn’t a political assassination. His wife pulled the trigger. This event is utterly unrelated to Slow Dawns for Lost Conclusions, the second album by the dreamy, chamber-pop ensemble Bell Gardens.

Seems like pfork really oughta know Adam Granduciel's last name. Guess Kozelek has the last laugh here if his intention was to purposely mangle dude's name so just this sorta thing would happen. I'm anti-Koz in this thing but that's pretty good strategy. Also, unforgivable typos in this piece. And while we're at it - we're really still talking about this?
