>>62602089
It's bound to come out eventually, why not this year? D'Angelo and MBV had surprise album releases after long, long breaks to get 9.0+. Sleater-Kinney got an 8.7 with what is easily their worst record. The Avalanches about as highly regarded as those acts are (well, maybe not MBV, but still).

Worse than their debut and Call the Doctor? Im not sure about that

Frank Ocean, if it gets released.
Maybe James Blake will surprise with a 9.1/9.2

I also actually do think James Blake has a shot. He has that indie cred as well as mainstream/pop appeal.
anyone have any idea if our saviors are doing anything this year

tkol sucked, i don't blame them
if the new one sounds anything like specter or they go back to their rock roots (which i think are equally likey, maybe leaning more towards the former, i think thom has exhausted himself wanking around with IDM) then it's guaranteed to at least get top 10 and a BNM.

I mean it's nit like we weren't expecting this, with no BNTs (or track mentions *at all*), but still, going from 9.6 to 6.2 in just two albums, wheeeeeeeeeew lad
Holy shit the end to this review is fucking brutal.

kys for caring so much about a shitty paid for music publication, or at least start coming up with your own opinions
this could probably apply to most people in this thread actually
6.2 my god. I haven't listened to the leak but I've loved all three singles. If I enjoyed those songs will I enjoy this album? If that's true then I don't see how this could be so so low.
PITCHFORK HAS RULED
ANCO IS IRRELEVANT IN THE MODERN MUSIC DIALOGUE AND CULTURAL SPHERE
WELCOME TO A POST-ANCO ERA BOYS
>2011+5
>caring p4k
lol you fags
Album wasn't that good to begin with, but p4k is totally not relevant still
>>62603295
It really isn't that bad anon. It is a decent 8/10/ Golden gals is one of my fav songs from them now.
You know how TV channels start out good then churn out reality shows and shit? (History channel, MTV)
Is Pitchfork in the reality show phase? Do they just write these dogshit reviews for attention now?
>>62603250
if you think thay tlop isnt mediocre then you should,losten to it again, because its pretty shitty, one of tje weakest on his career t b h
>>62603295
i think the album is actually pretty good. not mind blowing or anything, but much better than chz or slasher flicks imo. it's a fun listen.
PITCHFORK IS GOING THROUGH CHANGES
AND I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN THINGS CHANGE
IT'S OVER
INDIE IS FINISHED
>>62603295
Yes, you will. It's at least a solid 8/10, all this has done is further prove pitchfork is less reviewer and more trendy tastemaker, especially considering it's far superior to CHz which they rated more than a point higher.
>>62603366
Post your top 2015 albums
>waaaah, they don't sound like they used to
-that entire review
The indie-hype machine has been dead for a while. However, this review solidifies the definitive cremation of indie, the end of an era.
Meme-rap will meet the same fate eventually to unfortunately.
>>62603250
TLOP is a patchwork of ideas that are never fully realized. And I say that as a Yeezus dickrider.

OUT
>>62603295
Oh, it's really good. Floridada and Lying in the grass are probably two of my least favorite from it. Just make up your own mind when you listen to it. Don't think it got a 6.2 from shitfork.
i mean
i agree with the reviewer in that anco back in sung tong/feels/sj days made music that made me feel like i was touching the face of god
there new shit has boingy synths and that weird lyrical style from boys latin. i like the album but theres nothing on it close to the majesty and all encompassing power of songs like people and fireworks lets be real
>>62603324
>>62603345
>>62603380
Ok I got the impression that it wasn't anything revolutionary and would just be a really fun and goofy pop album, and that's really all I want. Damn. Well just goes to show you that you gotta go with your own opinions first and foremost. I'm glad I got to listen and enjoy the singles before most of the reviews were out so I'm not biased, and I trust I'll enjoy this album.
>>62603494
This man.
Review is brutal but makes sense most of the time
i think this last week has been the last of pitchfork for me
I can't care about an average pop/hip hop social media journalism site
MEANWHILE, AT BIZARRO PITCHFORK...
is this first time TMT has slapped the Eureka! tag on something rated lower than 4/5?

>>62603578
shaking the habitual
Well that's it. My last time lurking the nightly p4k thread. It's been a pleasure
>>62603540
Review is awful tho. It's more of an "Animal Collective career trajectory" review than a "Painting With" review. They literally don't go into detail about any of the songs...
>>62603578
>tfw too patrician for plebfor but not patrician enough for TMT
anyone else know this feel
>>62603604
Shaking the Habitual didn't even have a score though lol
>Literally lower than CHz
>One of Kanye's worst albums gets a 9.0
Lmao because their credibility wasn't trash before
I think someone said it in another thread but I can't find the post, but my thoughts echo his so I'll try and paraphrase. If CHz was AnCo throwing together a bunch of sounds that didn't really fit and just expecting results, PW is AnCo picking like three sounds and trying to make an album out of them. As opposed to being bloated and slightly frustrating, it's just bland and forgettable.
>>62602558
It was better than Yeezus for sure but Yeezus in no way deserved a 9.5.
>>62603295
I liked Floridada and Lying in the Grass but really can't get into most of PW. It's just not really too memorable for the most part.
>>62603382
Please don't get him started.
>>62603384
Doesn't really make sense because AnCo has never sounded like they "used to" with their sound switching up to at least some degree every album.
>>62603389
>Meme-rap will meet the same fate eventually to unfortunately.
There's nothing unfortunate about the day people finally stop liking shitty music ironically.
>>62603261
You know I actually find the two to be pretty funny foils in a way. TLOP was inconsistent as hell but I could say something that stood out to me whether positive or negative about every track on first listen. PW is almost too consistent, like it feels like it just sort of happens and it never goes anywhere, and I can't really name any of the songs outside of the singles and one or two others.
>>62603608
We won't miss you.
>>62603747
Used to, you'll get there one day senpai. Also helps having a useless degree where you have learnt critical theory in regards to music, film, auteur theory and read some post-modernist philosophy related to aesthetics and symbols like Baudrillard.
>>62603608
Thanks for coming. God bless you on your journey through the rest of 4chan
>>62603846
>nothing unfortunate about the day people finally stop liking shitty music ironically
>implying I listen to shitty music ironically
>implying I don't just listen to shitty music because I enjoy it
Shit I don't want AnCo to end. Who else will take their place? Is there anyone else as creative and goofy as AnCo these days?
Where you at Devin show yourself itt
>>62604040
avey and panda intend it as a lifelong project mate
>>62603578
can we get a tmt general to replace this shit, it would be nice to have an actual review publication get discussed rather than a trendhopping tastemaker
>>62604113
we've talked about switching over from /p4k/ to /tmt/ before
TMT doesn't have a set time when they post reviews, so it'd be impossible to do
>>62604208
that's unfortunate, I imagine if they had some consistent schedule they'd probably get (what would be for them) a significant boost in visits, especially from a general like this
>>62603578
>Thou Album Shalt Include: “Silver Surfer Intermission,” “30 Hours,” “No More Parties In LA,” “Facts (Charlie Heat Version),” “Fade,” furthermore any 3/5 review of The Life of Pablo is hitherto EUREKA! and a 5/5.
And we don't have a general for them.
>>62603578
that Picasso quote at the end is fucking beautiful tho
https://noisey.vice.com/blog/here-are-41-reviews-of-kanye-wests-the-life-of-pablo-so-you-dont-have-to-read-any-others
Larry "retired BNM godfather" Fitzmaurice is the last one
>>62603846
>Doesn't really make sense because AnCo has never sounded like they "used to" with their sound switching up to at least some degree every album.
Tell that to the reviewer. He kept going on about their old stuff and how this wasn't like any of it
>>62604483
>When I was 12 years old, at the height of the Harry Potter boom, I walked into my mom’s room and found a thick pad of paper next to her bed. She’d printed it out from the internet and stapled it herself. I took a look—lo ad behold, here was a sprawling fan-fiction erotica narrative in which Severus Snape has illicit affairs with Harry Potter, Ron, and, god forbid, Albus Dumbledore. I was transfixed.
>Erotic fan-fiction is one of the internet’s largest exports—websites like AdultFanFiction and AO3 offer millions of stories in which beloved characters from film, TV, literature, music and the celebrity sphere smash the living daylights out of each other. Maybe you’ve never read this stuff, but chances are that the with the girl cat-ear beanie or the guy with piping-hot Sherlock takes has. You know who else wrote some wild fan-fiction? Kanye West. In “Famous” he describes a potential tryst between himself and Taylor Swift. Sure, he comes off a bit awkward and desperate. But he’s not remotely original. Here’s a Kanye/Taylor erotic story. Here’s another. Here’s one where Taylor fucks Kanye with a strap-on. It’s pretty hot. It’s also totally normal. Hundreds of thousands of nerds write about their faves porking every day. Should Kanye be held to a different standard just cause one of the people he’s fantasizing about happens to be himself?
>In the immortal words of SamuelX— “Lying on his back on the king-sized bed, Kanye tried to smile his trademark grin as he felt his ass stretch while Taylor Swift began pounding into him.” Amen.
>For what it's worth, The Life of Pablo fucking bangs, but you knew that already.
>Ezra Marcus is the cousin who stole Kanye's laptop. Follow him on Twitter.
>>62604650
I'm just saying that that's not why they disliked the album. The review might be pretty bad but it's not like that's how they got to the score.
