a week later but I'm seconding the new Review. I read it in one sitting.

On the front page of p4k.com there are summaries of the dailly record reviews - anyone know how to find summaries for older reviews?

kind of a weird request. if i were pitchfork i would be like "why are you so obsessed with me?"
― een, Tuesday, 9 February 2016 14:28 (eight years ago) link
I'd be like "hey good point we should probably include those summaries in the actual reviews as introductory paragraphs in boldface or smth like they do in the papers"
― niels, Tuesday, 9 February 2016 14:31 (eight years ago) link
can't argue with that
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 9 February 2016 14:32 (eight years ago) link
waybackmachine works for finding them, was looking for the Rihanna/Anti blurb:
Anyone hoping that ANTI might be Rihanna’s opus, some grand declaration of intent, is likely to be underwhelmed. ANTI is a fun and conflicted pop record, at its most interesting when it’s at its smallest and most idiosyncratic. If the album has a narrative arc, it’s about disappointment: the ways in which the people you trust can still come up short in the end, and how lonesome that can feel.

they're usually just an amalgamation of sentences from the review?
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 9 February 2016 14:37 (eight years ago) link
but maybe the separate fragments of the summary could be highlighted in bold in the review? i dunno could be a fun time and not confusing
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 9 February 2016 14:39 (eight years ago) link
they contain clues about the content of the full reviews and should have Spoiler alerts

You don't need the Wayback Machine. You can simply get them by looking at the page source for the review and look for the line 'meta name="description"'.
― MarkoP, Tuesday, 9 February 2016 15:02 (eight years ago) link
I wish I could find the description for this one
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/8887-machine-ep/
Because I remember it saying something like "at least the cover has a tit"

BW: It just felt like life. We were used to always being exhausted and stoned, but apparently it looked weird to other people.
Pitchfork: Are you guys exhausted now?
All: No.

"Cadmium" was inspired by a book compiling letters sent between two authors, the first of which was a square of the titular color. As a seemingly sturdy barroom shuffle collapses, Hall yelps about the impossibility of just telling it like it is
there is no shuffle rhythm in this song

"Support your local poet" vs “The Black Keys are a broke-down blues-punk duo who holler fuzzed-out tunes about pain, suffering and dancing. You WILL get down.”, which was the better tagline?

i'm surprised shitty banner ads haven't yet made an ironic hipster comeback. i give it 2 years.

it feels hurried...and somewhat sloppy
maybe the most unforgivably stupid thing Kanye West has ever rapped
it comes off as both his most labored-over and unfinished album
there are moments here where he just sounds like another asshole

Since when was it a critic's job to criticize Kanye for the stupid shit he says in his music?
― pitchforkian at best (cryptosicko), Monday, 15 February 2016 15:00 (eight years ago) link
Rushing out a review this quickly and criticizing the album for being "hurried" is pretty funny, although I doubt intentionally so. Whole album review section is such a mess these days.
― Position Position, Monday, 15 February 2016 16:05 (eight years ago) link
i liked the review.
xp i was gonna also make the joke that they should change the score every 2 days.
― billstevejim, Monday, 15 February 2016 18:56 (eight years ago) link
I also thought this was a very good review and if this is "rushed" then it's a far better rush job than anything I've ever written
