So, you guys consider a website that publishes something like this to be the preeminent authority on music?
Lol.
Honestly I have to Google it every time I see this because I'm not sure what's real and what's just memes at this point. But it's real, it's all real and it was written 15 years ago and people still act like pitchfork has any fucking clue what they're doing. And Kid A is one of my favorite albums

Brent the crescendo is a legit really good reviewer. He acknowledges the listening experience as largely abstract and entirely subjective, but still manages to express his thoughts about the music in an eloquent and satisfying way.

That was 15 years ago; Pitchfork then was run by young people who sometimes regretted what they wrote (see the 0.0 review for NYC Ghosts & Flowers, which the reviewer regretted afterwards — so much that he apologized to the band). Maybe they improved now. I hope so.
But in any case, trusting one single reviewer's opinion is even sillier than that review. There is no, and should be no "preeminent authority on music" — and the closest thing to it isn't a reviewer. If you don't have time to listen to everything you might be interested in, get several opinions at least.
I no longer follow Pitchfork reviews because I can find more than enough music I like without it (I did for a while but that often made me try indie pop/rock albums I didn't care much for). Some of the articles I've read on their website was solid though.

That's the second worst p4k review of all time. The worst was written by the same guy: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/5799-the-fragile/
Why this pretentious jizzrag was given free reign to spew his diarrhea all over the keyboard, I will never know.

I would never take seriously anyone who gives radiohead anything higher than a 7/10.

Not saying this dudes writing is good, but I don't think you've ever taken a community college writing course
This shit would be the best in the class. I did so many peer reviews with people with absolutely terrible writing skills and they were all pulling Bs and sometimes As.
