What's funny is that they realized they fucked up with this review when Discovery became a hit and they put it on their "Best Albums of the Decade" list.
Fuck Pitchfork.

I should just make a compilation of every dumb score, and pretentious drivel that is written by their muppet staff and post it on every thread that tries to praise p4k. No coincidence to me that a general was created right around the corner of a Kanye West album.

>When I heard about John Paul Pitts' arrest last summer, my first response, like that of many others, was a swift and decisive, "Fuck you." Even as more information has come to light, my feelings haven't changed much; Pitts maintains his innocence, and plea-and-pass might be enough for the Florida courts where forgiveness is concerned, but without hearing the other side of the story, I'm still not so sure. Pythons, seething with autobiography, doesn't make it easy to forget the circumstances around its creation, and separating the art from the artists here takes some serious doing; that score at the top of the page is for Pythons, not the people who made it. With Pythons out there, Pitts is going to have to get up there again and again and sing these songs, so full of hurt and confusion, penitence and longing. We'll never know completely what happened that night, but I sincerely hope Pitts never lets himself forget it. As long as he's out there singing "I Was Wrong", he probably never will.

>Sugu's intro track "The Message" is the worst thing on an album of failed experiments-- a bad demo with a simplistic, paranoid rap that's as rhetorically effective as someone in a dorm room ranting about the C.I.A. inventing A.I.D.S. It's not the best idea to kick off your politically charged album with a song that demolishes the possibility of addressing a serious issue about privacy with any degree of depth or nuance.

Wrong opinions are one thing, but being factually incorrect and being condescending towards someone who is telling the truth is just fucking revolting.

P4k kinda has a hate boner for the Volta, not sure why.

Fairly certain most artists just buy BNM on that site anyways.
>>
>>62624145
haven't read the review but a lot of times they'll give a reissue a low score based on a shit remaster or unnecessary bonus tracks or whatever. ideally they're reviewing the reissue itself first and the actual content of the album second.
>>
>>62624799
because ATDI was the better band by miles
>>
>>62624799
one of the members of TMV talked shit about p4k one time
>>
>>62624913
yep, looked it up and the score was completely based on whether or not you should buy the 50th anniversary package or not.

>As an album, Kind of Blue is unimpeachable, the kind of record you look forward to listening to decades down the line. As a reissue, this anniversary package (expensive at $109.98) is nice but less than essential, best for completists or those with good record players to put the new vinyl pressing to good use.

Yeah it's a solid 9 fampai

They gave Rihanna's new album a 7.7
