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
9.0

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

reading it again that seems obvious :)
can someone tell some Pfork editors what a fucking shuffle beat is cuz apparently they have no clue:
It’s nearly impossible, hearing Page France’s giddily twee "Trampoline" or Cotton Jones’ roadhouse shuffle "Blood Red Sentimental Blues,"

Pitchfork finally ends their coverage of underground/independent nobodies to realize their true calling: Covering the most popular pop, rap and R&B albums on the planet.

happy to read individual ilxOrs reviews on pitchfork cuz they tend to be some of the only things worth reading on there but marc's column was just a great resource for cool new weird stuff i might not have heard about otherwise.

it's going to live on at their tumblr, right?

yeah a bummer, my favorite thing, too -- kind of surprising, really, seems like it covered a good niche that pfork wouldn't want to entirely abandon, even if it wasn't going to be a huge source of clicks. makes me wonder how long my column will last over there (though I'm a little mystified that it's lasted as long as it has).and yeah, they're going to continue doing the 200 words thing on tumblr... http://the-out-door.tumblr.com/

idk all good features die eventually. nabisco and tom ewing used to have weekly columns. 6 years seems like a good run for this kinda thing, and marc will still write for the site.

For a recent example of how maddeningly insular the black hole of music journalism has gotten, take the story of the Brooklyn band Wet. Pitchfork ran a review of Wet’s major label debut, Don’t You, this year. The review was unkind, slapping it with a mere 4.0 rating, and poking fun at the notion that the band is an industry plant, propped up with live showcases, BBC1 playlists, and clips on Khloe Kardashian’s Instagram account. Shortly after it was published, two editors at the site Genius ran a review of Pitchfork’s review of the album in the form of annotations, taking the original review’s points to task and arguing on behalf of Wet, not doing much to dispel the conspiracy that Wet is in fact an industry plant. Hang on, not done yet. Then, after the review of the review ran, and music writers began arguing on Twitter as is their livelihood, Jezebel ran a blog post recapping the drama the situation had wreaked. It's hard to believe a casual music listener who simply wants to learn about a new band would follow the conversation that far down the content hole, especially once it strayed from what the album actually sounded like. But wait! Before we come back through all the layers of this online journalism inception, it should be mentioned that the whole story is being recapped in this article you’re reading about music criticism right now. And maybe someone will write a response article to this as well. The circle of content life.
