-/p4k/ forever
predicted score for AMSP?
>>64707491
above 9
>>64707491
8.3-8.5
Divers treatment.
>>64707491
James Blake Prediction?
Can they have 2 BNM's in one night? Cause if so, this might be a Death Grips James Blake twofer
Dubs and amsp is BTFO by p4k, thus shilling whiteys and band kids for the next millennium
Death Grips 9.1 BNM
>>64707645
I think this review will be coming tonight and that we're looking at a solid 9.0
>>64707467
Zach here
Thanks man
>>64707713
I'm not convinced it'll come tonight. I think they'll do James Blake, maybe Death Grips as a side review (since it won't get BNM) so then they can get an extra day to write Radiohead's review and also build hype even more.
>>64707491
9.3-9.5
inb4 new radiohead album gets an 8.2 because they're white males
>>64707743
I agree. I was referring to James Blake initially
>>64707792
oh fuk sorry haha
>>64707766
only ratings I can see are Painting With style pan (6-7) or Divers style pan (8-9)
>>64707766
or a high bnm because p4k will pander due to the album's hype and the band's enormous reputation
THEY WON'T REVIEW AMSP SERIOUSLY
DUBS OR TRIPS???
Screenshot these
Death Grips: 7.5
Radiohead: 9.2
Electronic Tumblr dude: 8.3
Bottomless Pit: 9.5
A Moon Shaped Pool: 9.9
pitchfork honestly sucks... how the fuck is kanyes album a 9?? its ass
>>64707893
chuckled
>>64707913
pandering cunts
white man at it again
>So what is new on A Moon Shaped Pool, Radiohead’s first studio album since 2011’s The King of Limbs? Very little, which to me is what immediately makes it so great
> so great
> 8.5 pan confirmed
>>64708051
who are you quoting?
>>64708084
http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/1140-radioheads-a-moon-shaped-pool-the-5-most-important-things-to-know/
So will AMSP actually be reviewed tonight or what?
>>64708102
Nah, James Blake will be reviewed tonight.
Radiohead will be pushed to Tuesday, methinks.
>>64708097
>And check back later this week for Pitchfork’s review of the album
confirmed: review not today
>>64708097
It outright says in this article that's the Radiohead review will come later this week, so probably in the latter half of the week
>>64708097
>So you’ve downloaded A Moon Shaped Pool, and being a discerning music consumer, you splurged on the 24-bit WAV download because if pristine and lossless fidelity ever counts, dammit, it’s now.
hey I like this guy
people hate pitchfork but honestly they have some great writers post-Conde
>james blake 9.0
>death grips 7.1
>radiohead 9.6
cap it
>>64708097
>The 5 Most Important Things To Know
jesus christ
>>64708285
This is feasible
>>64708084
are you incapable of copying the text and pasting it in a google search bar?
AMSP 9.5/10
bottomless pit will get 8.6
the review for AMSP will actually come out tonight and get a 9.5, BNM.
>>64707467
Death Grips getting a 7.5 or lower. Calling it now. Sad but true.
Dead Sara - Pleasure To Meet You 8.3 BNM
>>64708285
THIS THIS THIS
i'm scared what if they pan it bros?
Death Grips - 9.1
James Blake - 7.7
Radiohead - 9.6
What if pitchfork just dropped all 3 big reviews tonight.
>>64708408
Then life goes on.
Chances the review of AMSP will be pages and pages of aimless commentary on politics, global warming, the technology era, and depression without talking about the music?
>>64708453
This board might crash
>>64708460
Very likely
>>64708460
i don't think it will THAT political, radiohead is a more controversial and clickbait-y subject in itself than politics. of course, there will be some lines about the underlying subtext
Radiohead & James Blake are both getting safe <9.0 BNMs, Death Grips are getting a low 7, any true p4k aficionado would see this as obvious, only tourists will disagree
Let's invoke the meme magic
>>64708526
>Radiohead & James Blake are both getting safe <9.0 BNMs
James Blake maybe, Radiohead I don't know.
Bear in mind TKOL is the only one of their albums to get lower than 9.0.
>>64708630
they better do it justice and do exactly this
Tomorrow: James Blake with BNM at an 8.4 to 8.6. Either Death Grips with something in the 7 range on the same day or Tuesday. Radiohead will be put off to lead up hype with a BNT for Ful Stop or Present Tense, one will be BNT beforehand and one will be BNT uupon the review release. and the album review will pop up Friday or Saturday.
HELLO! happy mothers day to any moms in the thread this evening
what a fucking weekend, huh? lotta reviews coming up, definitely a handful of BNM.
this Radiohead album's so good, so let's start with their OP image
>>64707653
As far as I know, they never have.
i haven't gotten around to the new james blake yet, but i intend to. i'm kind of concerned about it—its like 80 minutes long, which is a lot for a james blake record, so i'm hoping he goes into some adventurous territory.
working on a Chance 3 OP image next
I don't think James Blake will get a 9.0 or anything above it. High 8's is more likely. I agree that Death Grips will be in the 7's. Radiohead I'm not so sure about. I'll confidently say it's getting above an 8.0, but I don't know if it will be in the 9's. It'll be higher rated than James Blake though.
and there he is.
any i missed? it was a big weekend
>James Blake
>Death Grips
>Radiohead
>Chance 3
Bases are fucking loaded this week.
>>64708285
James Blake 9.0
Radiohead 9.2
deathgrips= who_tf_cares.jpg
>>64708840
(prepare to be disappointed)
>>64708934
chance can't get a 10 cause the single he premiered on fallon was a light 7
>>64708967
i kind of expected it. plus, no kanye or frank features, which he was hinting at last year.
>>64708840
>>64708967
It's pretty adventurous, I loved the album.
Liked self titled, hated overgrown.
if dubs, surprise Julianna Barwick BNM
>>64708976
it's more just a saying than a guess at his score. it's definitely getting BNM. also Blessings was an 8 in my book, Jamila Woods' voice is fucking gorgeous
>>64708976
I have faith that it'll sound better in the studio version. Regardless, it's still going to be Ultra Beam Light. The tape has a real shot at being great though.
>>64708453
What if they drop all 3 and we also get the first 10 since 2010?
>>64708773
>>64708840
>>64708934
I love you GCG. If and when Dead Sara announces the follow-up to Pleasure To Meet You, will you make an OP image for them? I'm still grateful that you included them in pic related.
>>64708840
james a qt
>>64709187
of course, it's only right that i respect the meme
>>64709253
i know, i came to the same conclusion while making this.
my guesses at the upcoming scores, for what it's worth:
Death Grips: 7.8
James Blake: 8.4 BNM
Radiohead: 9.4 BNM
AMSP 8.8
BP 7.5
screen shot this
this Aesop Rock album is the most boring thing I've heard in years
why did p4k and RYM do this to me?
>>64709382
same sentiments here. i think it's just not my thing.
i was SHOCKED to see it up so high on RYM
Just got off the phone with Ian, new Radiohead is gonna get an 8.7
>>64709443
Brandon Stosuy is my dad and I can confirm this
>>64709408
inflated ratings are inflated ratings
people go into something wanting to like it, they start making up excuses for how good it is instead of accepting it at face value
reminder
inb4 bunch of boring 8.X
>>64709518
RYM usually only does that to metal and soundtrack albums though, seeing an otherwise completely unremarkable hip-hop album that high is really surprising
Radiohead 9.5
James Blake 8.8
Death Grips 7.4
Skepta 7.8
Kaytranada 8.1 no BNM
Radiohead's getting a 10 BNM
Cap it
>>64709288
Hey, I'm trying to improve the p4k archive and one of the things I've added is an OP image folder
Do you still have all the OP images you've made?
>>64708285
last time they gave above 9.5 was six years ago, so not very likely
ooh shit
Bottomless Pit pan on bizarro pitchfork
>>64709820
you are obviously underestimating how much P4K likes Radiohead
>>64709751
yep! let me throw what i have together
>>64709835
they gave TKOL less than 8, and that was five years ago. Radiohead have no cultural capital in 2016. i haven't actually heard the new record yet though
>>64709859
TKOL is not exactly the best Radiohead record to base anything off of tbqh.
>>64709858
Thanks senpai
>>64709820
Yeezus had 9.5
>>64709820
they should have given R Plus Seven a 10
HAPPENING
pitchfork what the fuck is this shit
holy fucking trollfest
>Julianna Barwick
WHAT THE FUCK???
FUCKING UPDATE ALREADY
8.2 no bnm pan for Julianna Barwick
Will is better than Nepenthe too.
Welp, see you tomorrow.
WOW
IT'S FUCKING NOTHING!!
>>64710000
Nice quads
I'm really enjoying this trolling that p4k is doing. Hope they keep it going and just review the Kaytranda record tomorrow.
>>64710000
impressive.
also p4k is trash what the hell are these reviews
that's a decent score for Julianna Barwick, it's a solid album
>>64710000
checked
Julianna Barwick 8.2 (Sherburne)
Helado Negro 7.8 (Sherburne)
Meyhem Lauren 6.6 (Van Nguyen)
Chris Cohen 7.4 (Cummings)
Jack DeJohnette / Ravi Coltrane / Matthew Garrison 8.3 (Colter Walls)
What the hell
julianna barwick is a discount grouper
at least put a non-BNM death grips review out so we can meme
Why the fuck are they taking so long on BP if it LEAKED more than a week ago?
10 confirme???
How will I ever know to like the new James Blake, DG, or Radiohead without p4k's approval? :>)
They had all weekend to review the new James Blake. What the fuck Pitchfork?
Meh
NIGHTLY RUNDOWN: Real Reviews When Edition
Julianna Barwick 8.2 by Philip Sherburne
Helado Negro 7.8 by Philip Sherburne
Meyhem Lauren 6.6 by Dean Van Nguyen
Chris Cohen 7.4 by Raymond Cummings
Jack DeJohnette\ Ravi Coltrane\ Matthew Garrison 8.3 by Seth Colter Walls
So I waited for reviews abou literally who??
>>64710060
Barwick's last two albums have been better than Grouper's last two
>>64710070
Don't wanna post it on a Monday.
>>64710081
Nobody. Go back to bed and wake up at 12:59 AM tomorrow.
>>64710063
Julianna Barwick is higher priority than Death Grips really
>>64709969
It's well earned desu
>>64709751
okay, this should be all of them thus far. earliest one is may 30th of last year. https://mega.nz/#!FUZ3hYiT!ryfqac7msPDHWjD6D1ZOZbEeLlzoszIVELdsEa--V2c
congrats to Julianna Barwick, but goddamn, they've gotta stop stroking me, cause i'm about to burst. Bottomless Pit when?
>>64707709
Fuck I was hoping they'd like it but honestly if P4K praises BP in any way the rest of /mu/ will decide to start irrationally hating it.
Also when the new Radiohead gets an inevitable high score on p4k, we can watch the RYM score of it plummet.
>implying they aren't waiting to review these so they get more clicks due to people checking for their favorite new to be reviewed each night
get woke
>>64708248
>post-Conde
what? They're still owned by Conde Nast...
>>64710253
way to figure out how websites work. truly a genius of our time.
>>64710281
thanks bb
>>64710253
we were all already woke, people are just complaining in this thread.
alright, i'm out. goodnight all!
>>64709969
so did Bon Iver, Bon Iver and GKMC
SHERBURNE IS BUSIER THAN FANTANO
>>64710356
good, he's one of their best writers.
>>64710273
He probably meant post-Condé acquisition.
>tfw you're the only person on /mu/ who was hoping for a julianna barwick bnm more than death grips or radiohead
dam i am truly an outcast
>>64710150
You've done great work
>>64710460
just realized i forgot this one in that zip file. sorry to fuck it up.
that's all of them, though
>>64709382
Have you ever listened to Aesop Rock?
