ANNNNNNNNND WE'RE BACK
hope everyone's had a great couple of weeks, i've been pretty content myself
what's everybody listening to? pic related
what the fuck happened to the readers poll
thugged out pissed off 9.0 BNM
How likely is it we get a BNM the first day they're back?
Also where is the most anticipated 2016 albums list and our readers poll?
>>61474350
oh shit, they never did post that, did they? maybe we're getting that tonight instead of/with reviews?
>>61474402
not likely unless they review bowie tonight instead of thursday
Good Content Guy, do you hope to someday work for Pitchfork and write for them or are you merely fascinated with the politics and guessing of it all?
>mfw you have the same taste in music as that no-personality thieving money-grubbing police-state-enabling jew
>Lil Ugly Mane(?)
wat
>>61474468
zero desire to work for them, i'm just into the guessing and finding new music through them
who has the dedication to keep making this stupid thread every night?
somehow i don't think reviews restart until next week
>>61474499
>tfw you're the only one secretly hoping Oblivion Access gets reviewed
is it seriously that improbable?
>>61474522
hi there! that would be me
>>61474538
fuck, last year's started the week after NYD too :/
there may be no reviews tonight, but we'll probably get the Readers' Poll and the anticipated releases at least?
>>61474598
Or they could FUCK US OVER and continue doing shit like putting t swizzle on their AOTY lists
not really excited about any new music this year :(
bowie 9.1
but i dont think there's gonna be reviews this week
>>61474291
>>61474335
>>61474418
>>61474501
>>61474598
Remove your trip
>>61475401
ok ;)
>>61475367
i think you're right, and i fucked up
>>61475201
oh man, the new bowie's rad if you haven't checked that out, new diiv's pretty good too
>>61475693
diiv made a good album?!? maybe i'll listen to it. i only liked doused from their first album though.
>>61475858
i loved oshin, so ymmv on the new one
>>61475367
It'll be BNM, but probs 8.5 I'd guess.
RIP p4k threads
Is it confirmed that a new batch of reviews is coming tonight?
>>61477875
Na, I think it'll be reader's poll
>>61477875
Yep, I just got a singing telegram from Ryan confirming that new reviews are coming up!
why are there no P4K staff lists for 2015?
Did they do lists from other artists?
>>61478210
Certain writers don't want people to know how pleb they are
Year in 2015 thing isn't showing up on the home page now.
LOL
THEY DIDN'T POST THE READERS POLL
PITCHFORK CONFIRMED FOR COMPLETE CORPORATE HACKZINE
FUCK OFF

Half-heartedly:

>Speedy Ortiz's Sadie Dupuis
For the first time in my life, it's starting to feel like rock music is a girls' club. And it's refreshing! Alongside the brilliant #ShoutYourAbortion campaign, 2015 has me most impressed with the femmes who are shouting out their everything. Case in point: the expansive, idiosyncratic growls of talented singers like Katie Monks, Victoria Ruiz, Sadie Switchblade, or Alicia Bognanno (of Dilly Dally, Downtown Boys, G.L.O.S.S., and Bully, respectively). Screaming over heavy guitars has for so long signified a male-oriented narrative. It's exciting and radical to hear that sound reclaimed by so many artists this year to tell stories in which women and non-binary people are the protagonists—thereby normalizing our status as songwriters in this genre. Fantastic records by Chastity Belt, Childbirth, and Aye Nako do similar work lyrically, with songs that radically expand and explode what's been deemed a "normal," Guyvillean rock narrative. Cool sluts don't give a fuck what you call them. Fertility preoccupation becomes a comical pissing contest. And those who disbelieve women's allegations of abuse? They're dismissed with a knowing eyeroll—as they should be, cuz those dudes' shouts are sooo 2014.
I suppose Kendrick wasn't robbed after all
I grew a lot as a person in 2015
Thank you everyone
9.3 is still bullshit
>>61478623
Sadly I don't know. I gave up searching a long time ago.
Daily reminder +@ was robbed
9.3 was the meme score for 2000+15. What will be this year's meme score?
>>61478675
Yeah, 9.3s are so last year. Will the new year bring along a new meme score?
>>61478716
I think they might commit fully to the meme like with the Pope and Meow the Jewels reviews. Rihanna getting a "yaaas slay queen fire emoji"/10
The album in the last spot will get a 6.8.
Seriously, come back after the reviews are posted and the fifth one will have a 6.8.
>>61478716
emoji/10
>>61478775
An emoji based scoring system could be the wave of the future. Numbers are so unhip anyway.
>>61478795
happy new year my beloved son
>>61478709
eh, i'm a diehard fan and i feel like that album coulda been like.....20 songs and not 29
there will be no reviews this week. but I would like to state for the record that Zoe Camp is cute! CUTE!
>>61478828
looks p ugly
>>61478821
same to you my flower, would love to open the new year with a 6.8 in the last spot
dubs and there's nothing above an eight
trips and there's a nine
>>61478828
I agree :3
>tfw she's probably lurking this thread right now
singles and it's 2016
>>61478828
I agree. Pitchfork knows how to pick 'em!
>>61478989
Damn
>>61478989
was really hoping this would be dubs
holy shit guys 8.6!!!!
PUSHA T 8.2 NO BNM
PRIMAL SCREAM 9.0 BNR
AESOP ROCK & HOMEBOY SANDMAN 7.7
TEENAGE JESUS & THE JERKS 7.8
THE REVENANT OST 7.3
>>61479061
the average of these is 8
crazy high
Wow why the fuck did this shit get a 9.0 from p4k
It literally sounds like blur
>>61474350
I've been wondering that too. They're most anticipated releases of 2016 was never published either. I assume today is the day, but it's strange considering they took down the big banner that had those on it.
>>61479089
best album of the 90s senpai
but wasnt it reissued just a couple of years ago
>>61479128
Yeah there was def a 20th anniversary one back in 2011
>>61474291
Stop trying to have this identity of "into music guy"
Nobody thinks you're interesting or refined
>>61479089
No matter how much praise that thing gets, I don't think I'll ever understand the appeal. :-/
>>61479153
dont fight it
feel it
they don't want Pusha to win
>>61479119
The results must have been embarassing
FYI i'm gonna be gone until january 26th, traveling to europe and wont have my computer so before i forget - have a great couple couples of weeks p4k thread friends and keep hoping for plenty of 6.8s in the last spot!
TITUS ANDRONICUS WON THE READER'S POLL AND P4K COULDN'T LET YOU SEE THAT
btw seeing the revenant OST review prompted me too google how ryuichi sakamoto is doing and apparently his cancer went away. yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>used to enjoy P4K threads
>p4k went full-full-SJW/blacks only!!!! this year
>can't even enjoy these threads ironically anymore
You do realize literally 55 of the top 100 songs of the year they picked were by blacks
What the fuck
pitchfork back a week early? 2016 is gonna be a fresh ass year.
>>61479149
go fuck yourself stupid ass
Honestly surprised Pusha T didn't kick off the first BNM of the year, think they're banking on his next album to be better?
>>61479270
oh shit really? my man is living till 100 now
>>61479206
I think you may be right. They could actually be ashamed of their readership. Something horrible could've been voted as #1.
>>61479252
every 6.8 without you will feel hollow and meaningless
>>61479311
there was some pretty nitty-gritty economic status questions that might have had embarrassing results, like maybe Kendrick was disproportionately enjoyed by wealthy white males
or they could just be slow but that'd be boring
>>61479311
Or maybe some stuff they panned pretty hard at the very least
The question now is what?
>>61479318
i'll always be there beside you, just 6.8 galaxies away
>>61479357
I don't see what would be embarrassing about that. Although, some of their demographic questions could've been embarrassing if they all answered the same as I did.
>>61479358
I wonder which one... Most of the heavy pans were for albums that deserved it.
Dat 9.0
:3
>>61479561
Travis Scott? seems to be one the people loved that P4K panned.
>>61479561
Like which?
my dubs digits decides how many 9.0+ BNMs we get in 2016
>>61480317
damn...
BEACH HOUSE = AOTY
>>61479561
>>61479270
>>61479311
guys... Universal Themes probably made the list. And they couldn't let THAT happen.
