Well, Pitchfork's dead. And Fantano is becoming less and less reliable. What are some independent sites or blogs or anything that /mu/ can turn to in the wake of all this garbage?
>>62630041
I miss pre-cultural marxist / equality / communist pitchfork. I missed White pitchfork!!!!
>>62630041
have you tried not being a tool and learning how to discover music by yourself? ya know, allmusic, discogs and RYM? what's wrong with you people? why don't you trust your judgement?
>>62630414
p4k was pretty useful for finding new music
not op but im also looking for an equivalent
of course ill go on allmusic and RYM and all that but review sites are great resources
>>62630414
What is ya know? I've heard of the others
>>62630414
stop this fucking meme holy shit
Just ask me, Anon. I'll tell you have to listen to.
Honestly I only visited P4K because I grew up in an area that only listened to rap and hip hop. I needed to get cultured. Now I only visit to make fun of their ratings.
RYM is top tier for real fans of music
Bandcamp is the new hipster scene, some cool genres on there
don't let others decide your taste. some of my favorite albums if i shared them nobody would give a fuck
Dead End Hip-Hop is great for reviews as far as YouTube video go,. I heard they're going to be putting out written reviews soon. Those'll probably good as well.
>>62630414
this
>>62630486
yeah it does really boil down to having as many resources for music discovery as you can but it seems to me like most people on this board aren't trying to do that. reviews aren't the end-all of resource and discovery and I wish people understood this.
>>62630414
"dont use [sites that review and promote music] use [sites that review and promote music]!"
>>62630682
Btw RYM doesn't have all music, discogs is for real music fans who buy vinyls and has NO hipsters at all
>>62630041
are you really that upset over someone's opinion about an AnCo album
>>62630653
what meme? there is no meme. I'm being completely serious here. what's your issue exactly?
fantano was never reliable lmao

LOOOOL
>tfw they gave So Pitted a better score
hell yeah
>>62630041
Pitchfork and Fagtano were never good
And now for something completely different
>>62630736
allmusic and discogs are most certainly not promotion sites you retard, they're archiving sites. learn how to read things beyond your false intuition.
>>62630746
This
Discogs is the best imo
This one
http://www.thefourohfive.com/music/review/animal-collective-painting-with-145
>>62630790
yes? go on? what, do you think the top lists on RYM are all that exists on the site?
imagine being this unaware???
Reminder that rym's pw score was 3.4 before pitchfork's review
rym users are becoming p4k-drones
>>62630846
I enjoy the album but thats a shitty review as well
>>62630414
>>62630868
You're calling me unaware?
RYM is just as big of a shill site as any other place. It's so heavily influenced by pitchfork and other shitty critic sites it might as well not exist. Grimes was being downrated and then uprated when BNM happened, and so it went for many others.
Plus most lists are shit you either know/are on the top 100 of their genre/are just shit in general.
Welcome to RYM! Sorry for ruining it for you!
>>62631005
lmao, nice. great job if you made that
Painting With was exactly a 6.2, and pitchfork is more or less doing what they've always done in regard to white indie music you butthurt AnCo cocksucker. The only thing wrong is the overrating of nigger/trap shit.

>>62630414
>>62630811
>>62630868
that's a bannable offense anon
>>62630909
you mean it was a 3.4 before it came out, before anyone had heard it?
This one
http://basementalitymedia.com/
>>62631096
what is a leak
>>62631012
Look at the top 100 for any year and it will be 2/3 metal you've never heard of and hardly indebted to pitchfork at all
>>62631012
why do you think I give a shit how rated grimes is
why do you think I give a shit about ratings and scores and numbers in the first place
rym isn't very good compared to allmusic or discogs but it's still great for discovery. I can tell you haven't browsed through 3/4s of the site because it's pretty much impossible to have a hard time discovering music on the site unless you're a fucking retard
>Plus most lists are shit you either know/are on the top 100 of their genre/are just shit in general.
yeah and that's why you think for like 5 seconds and search for stuff beyond most and top lists, which rym isn't bad for at all
just because you give a shit about numbers incidentally, doesn't mean everyone else does
The thing is, pitchfork has the best format. Most other music review sites seem so cluttered and don't have best new album best new track features
>>62630041
>Well, Pitchfork's dead
The site was never good you just never learned to distinguish memes from reality
it makes me sad to know I've been on /mu/ long enough to see the majority of people here unironically consider(ed) p4k a good source for music reviews instead of enjoying the post-ironic pseudo-sincere banter about it
>>62631385
>>62631112
Not the guy who posted the link but this one's pretty clean
Digging through the internet to find music you like is really admirable, but it takes a lot of time. It's easy to see how people get touchy when they hear something like "where can I find good music?" Finding good stuff is hard work, I came here looking for help.
>>62631494
allmusic
discogs
rateyourmusic
hope i helped; Friend......................................
What are peoples opinions on Spin?
They gave Painting with an 8
>>62631385
>don't have best new album best new track features
this is a plus
>>62631494
rateyourmusic m8
Or you could realize that contemporary music journalism is all garbage
>>62630041
Is this a fucking joke?
>>62631661
well at one point I liked what p4k promoted this way, for the most part. But you get it all on the front page and don't have to click around looking for things, they even link the song right on the title
Thanks ^_^
>>62630041
P4k has been dead, and Fantano is pretty consistent and at least backs up his opinions pretty well.
Uncut gave it an 8
still the best music magazine around
>when the cat poster is making the most sense in a thread
jesus
>>62631012
I'm pretty sure anon is referring to using rym as a tool for finding music, not one for seeking out other people's opinions. That's pretty obvious.
>Plus most lists are shit you either know/are on the top 100 of their genre/are just shit in general.
I tried my hardest to decipher that. I failed. Anyways

>>62631953
i think the biggest problem of rym in sense of discovering new music is how poorly is the tagging of the albums' genres are
i've encountered lots of albums which only genre are just "indie rock" or "indie pop" but don't give a deeper analysis of what type of "indie rock" or "indie pop" are them as they're just umbrella terms of a range of genres
>>62632181
yea genre tagging is a huge issue on rym for sure. gets the job done though
>>62631112
best itt honestly
>>62632294
>>62631112
>>62631475
stop shilling your website.
>>62630614
Undrerrated
>>62632181
this and you can only search under one genre tag at a time so you can't use it to try to find albums with multiple genre influences that you want
>>62632444
and you can't search secondary genres
>>62632830
Not to mention they gave DS2 and Barter 6 both 8.4
can someone please do a shooting at Pitchfork's HQ
or make someone from /r9k/ do it
http://basementalitymedia.com
>>62632882
DS2 is 0.2 points off of Vulnicura and 0.3 off of Garden of delete. Greatest of our time.

Now THIS is a review site! And the first I've seen it in this thread, too! Wonderful stuff
>>62631744
>Aha! I don't have to do any work on my part! Thanks pitchfork!
>caring about random individuals with journalism degrees from an unknown university in the midwest review an art form that is fully subjective

>>62633259
I'm not a slave to pitchfork but do you expect me to listen to every fucking album that gets released?
>>62633675
at least try you fucking lazy bum
