That's because they became so good at meditation that they've become completely numb to the fact that working factory jobs in 2015 makes them lesser people. Right?

a pity song review given to a track from a great album that they'll never bother to review, except they fuck up and give Best New Track to a song that impacted radio 8 months ago:http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/17295-jazmine-sullivan-dumb-ft-meek-mill/

recall they did a similar thing with "chandelier", although that might've been more to coincide with the video
― bae sremmurd (monotony), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 05:28 (nine years ago) link
Well better late than completely ignoring something until the year end lists roll around, like with Taylor Swift.
― MarkoP, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 05:41 (nine years ago) link
eh, "Chandelier" was less than 2 months old, and hadn't yet peaked on the charts, when that ran. Jazmine Sullivan's follow-up to "Dumb" has been out longer than that.
― diddybops 67 (120.2)(source field mix) (some dude), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 10:25 (nine years ago) link
there have been two follow-ups to "dumb" both of which are better! i can't work out the rationale - if you want to deign to review jazmine sullivan (slow hand clap, did they review her previous two albums?) why not just do "mascara" for a track or god forbid the actual album? never want to hear it claimed that p4k is important for or good at r&b coverage again
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 10:29 (nine years ago) link
did they review her previous two albums?
nope
― diddybops 67 (120.2)(source field mix) (some dude), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 10:36 (nine years ago) link
"Dumb" also one of the album's weaker tracks -- maybe the only weak track.
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 12:01 (nine years ago) link
yeah i think it's ok as an album opener but was an unsuccessful single for a reason, feels almost like a perfunctory "people like Jazmine's angry breakup songs, that's her thing, right?" choice
― some dude, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 12:26 (nine years ago) link
aw, i love "dumb". but yeah "mascara" and "forever don't last" are definitely superior.
― Sounds like a forks display name (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 19:02 (nine years ago) link
anyway, one of the ILX/PFork xover types who read this board should just review the damn thing, it's among the best albums of the new year.
― Sounds like a forks display name (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 19:03 (nine years ago) link
P4K isn't any better or worse than any other mainstream pub at covering R&B imo
That being said, their bet-hedging with mainstream pop/R&B remains frustrating

Partly blowing up due to Stuart Murdoch being a twat on Twitter about it. Depressing.
― ineloquentwow (Craigo Boingo), Friday, 27 March 2015 20:52 (nine years ago) link
Stuart Murdoch's fictional world being one snugly enveloped in white privelege I would think is pretty obvious/one of the less arguable positions in the piece, he should just own up to it. Exclusive enclaves of white privelege exist, I don't see why it's wrong to document them or address them in a creative work. (tho I am unaware of and can't defend whatever Murdoch's said on Twitter fwiw)
