I'm quite glad to know I wasn't the only person to immediately think THE SAINT SOUNDTRACK, YOU JACKASS when reading that paragraph
― da croupier, Thursday, 7 April 2011 19:51 (thirteen years ago) link
not that this Val Kilmer vehicle invented the idea of techno music scoring euro-thrillers either, just sayin
Yeah, I'm still lolling that someone else pulled that one out as a reference point.

Not to mention The Matrix, which a few people saw

Tbh, people saw the sequels and erased the original from their minds.

You know I kind of forgot how great the 95-01 era was for techno soundtracks. The Beach had a really great one too.
― frogbs, Thursday, 7 April 2011 20:07 (thirteen years ago) link
Although I question if I could stomach one of them today
I guess it doesn't really count but... "Scarface"?
xp: most if not all of those soundtracks are still great, even including terrible ones like The Jackal

anyone else read thishttp://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15324-hit-after-hit/
and see absolutely no correlation between the score and the actual review? it's so OVERWHELMINGLY positive
― kelpolaris, Sunday, 17 April 2011 20:38 (thirteen years ago) link
not really -- i don't think a high 7 in any way contradicts a review that is completely enthusiastic and positive unless it specifically says it's like the album of the year or perfect or whatever.

but then i'm the kind of a weirdo that probably WOULD give a 7.7 to my album of the year
― steendriving is very bad - but I got a fake ID though! (some dude), Sunday, 17 April 2011 20:43 (thirteen years ago) link
i think that happens from time to time where a review in the 7.7-7.9 range reads like something that could've been best new music
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 17 April 2011 20:45 (thirteen years ago) link
some of those prob would've got the 'recommended' tag if that was still around
= writer probably thought it was BNM worthy and editor resisted (xpost)

also it bears mentioning that Tom tends to come off SO ENTHUSIASTIC about like his 40th fav record of the year

lol true

xxpost^ that's sort of what i thought. it's sort of subscribing to p4k's whole modus operandi of praising the innovative for the sake of innovation, and trying to make clear that they're not simply a "music review" site. which is ridiculous, considering how much they fawned over kanye's regressive new album last year.

just saying p4k's particular fond of fashioning itself as the taste-maker, or purveyor, of innovative music. they've done that a lot less so since expanding ~beyond indie~ in the past couple years but that's always where i thought their mission-statement laid.

enthusiastic review qualified by "simple and low-stakes music done extremely well" prolley justifies 7.7 (which is a lucky # in itself)

the first tune-yards had some jams but i couldn't even finish the song i heard off the new one it was too embarassing, reminds me of like there's this family of mentally challenged people who sing in the metro i always transfer at & like, i get that it's beautiful & a triumph that they love singing & aren't shy but something abt hearing someone sing like that makes me shudder

why do reviewers take great pains to typeset tUnE-YarDs correctly but they typeset the title as w h o k i l l when it's obvs uppercase?

i actually tried this tune-yards thing this morning because several people i kinda trust loved it, also compared it to glasser, assured me it didn't sound like dirty projectors. fucking terrible! and then a few hours later i kept seeing other people talk about pitchfork and best new blah blah and i felt a bit dirty for having been taken in.
― lex pretend, Monday, 18 April 2011 19:27 (thirteen years ago) link

seems out of character for Dusted really.

is it like miccachu?
― J0rdan S., Monday, 18 April 2011 19:35 (thirteen years ago) link
kinda the midpoint of micachu/cocorosie/dirty proj? on one listen only. next to gang gang dance and glasser this sort of pan-genre experimentation sounds so puny and pointless
― lex pretend, Monday, 18 April 2011 19:41 (thirteen years ago) link
I just listened to 10 seconds of some random tune-yards song on Youtube and I really cannot fathom why anyone would want to listen to it

the typographical bullshit alone is enough to get me to hate this but the music is bad too.
