pitchfork is dumb (#34985859340293849494 in a series.)

I'd say come to Pittsburgh to discuss over a beer but the tone of your review makes me think you'd find such a place pretty icky and unsophisticated. Maybe I'll look you up next time I'm in Brooklyn looking for kale cupcakes.

As someone who is unlikely to ever listen to that Tool album, the p4k review is solid lols

I was amazed when I saw Phair last year and she played as many songs off S/T as Guyville and "Why Can't I" got the biggest reaction of the night.

I was ok through most of that diss, mostly because I still haven’t read the review. But I felt some shame when I read the words “kale cupcakes” and it sounded appetizing

idk, I just read the tool review and found it really unremarkable. whatever cringy “humor” style the writer is going for, uhh they should not do that.

People trying to be funny who aren’t naturally funny. ugh. yeah I know the irony of this post

The requirements are low when making fun of Terrence McKenna-DMT dweebs IMO. Tool are the Joe Rogan of rock.

The kd lang review is amazing. I seldom read a music review and think “wow I wish I could write as good as that@ but kudos to Laura Snapes, I wish I could write as good as her

Yeah, it's a great review of an album I bought when it was new, based on a rapturous review I read somewhere - Rolling Stone, maybe - and never made it through the first song.

I forgotten how sharp "Miss Chatelaine" and "Season of Hollow Soul" are.

"Tekashi 6ix9ine Testifies at Trial That Jim Jones Is a Nine Trey Gangsta Blood"

Did he say what kind of IPA he prefers?

hard to say that the 6ix9ine thing isn't a major story

He also said Cardi was a Blood, which seems like the headline they'd go with

i have blood in my veins.

"Tekashi 6ix9ine Testifies at Trial That Jim Jones Is a Nine Trey Gangsta Blood"

Have no idea what any of this means, tbh.

Oh no, what did Trey do?

Phishing scam :(

lol

Can't say I was expecting today's retrospective review.

I think we're still allowed to like Darkthrone because Fenriz had no involvement in the killings and stuff. Also:

Fenriz eventually apologized and disowned his behavior both in his words and his actions throughout the 2000s...In the liner notes of a career retrospective box set Black Death and Beyond, he acknowledged his regret over the language he used in the ’90s. 'There is no excuse,' he wrote."

so, cult of personality (everyone loves Fenriz, bm's most lovable and charismatic goofball) + repentance for problematic opinions = retrospective review. You certainly won't be seeing any retrospective Burzum reviews on Pfork anytime soon, despite the fact that Burzum's early records are better and more historically significant than this particular Darkthrone album

I don't know, I could see a Burzum review. Though probably not with the link that says 'click here to buy, pitchfork might earn a commission'.

the darkthrone trilogy is as historically significant as burzum come on

considerably more so imo

i totally agree

The Burzum album is goofy as shit also

so what's gonna win album of the decade

kanyiohead

greta van fleet foxes

to pimp a sufjan

doesn't feel a stretch to say that tpab will be the only great* album in their inevitable top ten, unless damn also makes it lol

*according to me

Has this Perry Farrell video been on the homepage since July?

https://pitchfork.com/tv/22-over-under/watch-perry-farrell-rate-face-tattoos-hedonism-and-touring-in-a-van/

would be shocked if Visions isn't in the top 5

Given how people's perceptions of Kanye get better in periods when he keeps out of the spotlight (i.e. keeps his mouth shut), I'm guessing MBDTF could still take this

xxp oh no, don't tell me perry is a nine trey blood as well

been caught crippin'

no way, #1 is definitely going to a political album

TPAButterfly?

or am i in the wrong decade, lol i have no idea why i bookmark this thread as i never read pitchfork

TPAB for sure, Lemonade also

I doubt that.

Seems like Lemonade's stock is falling, at least as an album. Read a couple recent things about people saying that it really doesn't hold up well outside of its timeframe and without the visual element, I don't think that will place nearly as highly as it may once have.

Calling Have One On Me for top 10
