Interesting. The old pf [used backbone](http://backbonejs.org/#examples-pitchfork) (which made sense in 2011), the new one uses React, pretty common story these days.

The red underline to indicate hyperlink is making it look like they spelled everything incorrectly.

that's the first thing i looked for tbh, for a second i thought they'd just stopped having them

'new site design: we know you fuckers don't read anymore'
i don't understand the prioritisation here tbh. on loading the site i am presented with two news stories -- one which is telling me the website has changed, which no duh!, and the other just a share of something from a band's myspace or something, and one feature, an oral history which seems like it (probably) required more work than either news story and is actually exclusive content but is in the least prominent position
― carly rae jetson (thomp), Monday, 14 March 2016 01:41 (eight years ago) link
btw it seems like the big innovation is the ability to turn off coverage of non-indie musics if you don't like them
that innovation is def gonna please all the 4chan "cuckfork" ppl who think they're giving rap and R&B unjustly high scores because of "white guilt"
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 14 March 2016 01:44 (eight years ago) link
that shit's had to have sucked ballllz for whatever intern had to go back to 11 year old reviews and try to remember what Ninja High School sounded like

srsly though, like the resident advisor redesign, it does make more sense on mobile
― the late great, Monday, 14 March 2016 01:54 (eight years ago) link
it actually makes a lot of sense when you look at it in 1-column vertical format

Looks like The Pitch has gone.

lol u read pitchfork

I swear I'd probably seen the word "cuckhold" like 20 times in my entire life then in the last couple years it's all over

don't get the sense in having only three news items at the top of the page instead of many more + the reviews this seems terrible in nearly every way
― ufo, Monday, 14 March 2016 02:16 (eight years ago) link
The Pitch is still there, as a category under "Latest." Though maybe it is effectively dead, who knows.

No one reads home pages
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Monday, 14 March 2016 03:36 (eight years ago) link
i dunno that's gotta be one of the more popular sites where the home page actually does get a good amount of the traffic

can u turn off indie musics if u don't like them?
― dyl, Monday, 14 March 2016 06:55 (eight years ago) link
Gonna turn off notifications for everything but jazz so I only have to click on the site once every eighteen months.

Sadly, it doesn't remember my choice to clear out all genres other than rock. Also, just scanned quickly through all reviews and they don't seem to be offering soundcloud or spotify links to tracks anymore.
― how's life, Monday, 14 March 2016 12:13 (eight years ago) link
lol the other two header stories have been updated but 'announcing new website' is still the big one
i mean ffs
― carly rae jetson (thomp), Monday, 14 March 2016 12:39 (eight years ago) link
in news the two stories i hid by setting it to filter out rock were 'scharpling and wurster appear on the simpsons' (ok i guuuuuuuess) and 'majical cloudz play final show'
― carly rae jetson (thomp), Monday, 14 March 2016 12:41 (eight years ago) link
home pages are still going to be the number one traffic page on most sites
― robbie ca$hflo (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 14 March 2016 13:02 (eight years ago) link
isn't it totally normal for websites that redesign to have a little summary of the redesign near the top? i expect that'll be up there all day
― Karl Malone, Monday, 14 March 2016 13:11 (eight years ago) link
lol yes of course, idk how you can fault a website for explaining what they've changed and why they've changed it for, like, the first several hours after relaunching
― sexy dander (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 14 March 2016 13:17 (eight years ago) link
but there is important news about what someone said about someone else that should be at the top, especially if someone else said that something was wrong but someone else says that the someone is also wrong
― Karl Malone, Monday, 14 March 2016 13:21 (eight years ago) link
for god's sake please insert the music news drip into my carotid artery, i need a steady feed of exclusive news

the real scandal is that they decided to rip off CNN with their HTML title: "The Most Trusted Voice in Music"
― Karl Malone, Monday, 14 March 2016 13:30 (eight years ago) link
this looks weird to me too but i'm sure pitchfork has tons of data about where people actually scroll and click that led them to altering the site in this way so \(o_O)/
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2016 13:43 (eight years ago) link
i did sort of like that they were one of the sites with a background that was a different color than white
The "Best New Music" tag seems quiet now imo. I thought announcing that was their bread and butter, in the sense that's it's been their main taste-making validation tactic.
― Evan, Monday, 14 March 2016 13:50 (eight years ago) link
^ I think we can assume that album reviews aren't being read as much as they were judging from the overall redesign.
― Position Position, Monday, 14 March 2016 14:26 (eight years ago) link
tbh i only really ever read the news from pitchfork and even with that i only get 3 headlines, have to scroll past a bunch of crap i don't want to see. that's not to say that their previous design with that tiny scrolling newsbox was much better, i just liked having it all in one place
also they left their sourcemaps on</nerdlolz>
