Dead Sara - Pleasure To Meet You 8.3 BNM
>>64763854
It's going to be panned so hard. Pitchfork doesn't like Death Grips they think it's music for edgy teenagers, but they can't deny the influence so they have to cover them.
>>64764206
they review stuff on saturday now too tho
>>64764057
We've decided to leave DIIV in the OP
Pitchfork rated the fucking Death Grips interview soundtrack higher than Niggas on the Moon for fuck's sake, can they be taken seriously?
>>64764305
they didnt review that, did they?
9.3 for Radiohead, 8.4 for Death Grips
pls screenshot this
>>64764417
they did http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/21796-interview-2016/
Also dubs say that >>64763920 is spot on
RH - 9.4
DG - 8.1

>>64764254
no theyve just been tired of them since they pretended to break up because they didnt want to have to tour to finish an album
so now they are just focusing on antics vs the music, they do this a lot, they can be very superficial to artists they just enough about to report on for news, but they mostly just do it for the traffic, death grips doesnt need p4k approval, p4k just leeches on death grips for ad revenue
>>64764594

someone just uploaded this cover with strings. it's p. good
>>64764645
>p4k just leeches on death grips for ad revenue
no one but /mu/ and edgy teens still give fucks about Death Grips
>>64764720
they became massively more popular after the release of government plates and you think those near millions and multi millions of views of their youtube come from just /mu/?
they are a pretty damn well known cult band, who clearly have fanbases not just centralized on 4chan, because there is a world outside of it, but you cant see it
>>64764720
But /mu/ is just edgy teens
AMSP is getting BNM
it's not getting a 9 or above, however, be prepared for 8.9
fucking calling this shit right here folks, 8.9 BNM
>>64764814
lol it's getting 9.4
>>64764814
that would be so underwhelming
i'd be happy with a 9.5+ or a straight pan (8 and below)
8.8 BNM

Hey guys
For those of you who don't already know, I've made a podcast about the music Pitchfork reviews
It's called The Metafork Music Review and you can find it on iTunes
If you like these threads I think you'll like it, and thanks a lot to the people who have already checked it out!
What's everyone listening to?

>>64765438

>>64765492
James Grips - A Bottomless Meme
>>64765438
Do you think that's what they're reviewing tonight?
>>64765633
no definetly not
Remember we've got James Blake and Skepta reviews coming too.
What's your guys' opinions on James Blake? I only listened to it once and not with my full attention, but I was bored. There were some standouts, like "Timeless" for example is something that I can remember, but the thing as a whole....I much prefer his first two albums (and his old instrumental EPs and singles).
I need to give it another listen or two though. It could possible be quite good. Idk.
Also I thought Skepta was a letdown. Some great tracks on there, but we already heard the best ones. Boy in da Corner remains the best grime album of all time.
>>64764899
Are you not a T&E fan?
>>64765685
personally I find 80% of T&E's stuff grating as fuck, and like 20% of it genius, I have never enjoyed one second of Tom Goes To The Mayor but I like a lot of T&EASGJ
>>64764899
On Cinema >>> T&E imo
Also, Ching-Chong Matinee will forever be one of the funniest things.
>>64765664
james blake 8.2 bnm last night
skepta, kaytranada possibly leading tonight
>>64765664
idiot baka
>>64765438
Same going through my first listen r'n
>>64765731
That makes sense. I'm more of a 90% genius T&E fanboy so naturally I don't like Tim's other stuff quite as much. But to each his own. Have you seen The Comedy?
>>64765845
I want to, but at the same time I've heard that movie is way too real, and I don't think I need that cringe experience in my life
>>64765243
wew, called it

>>64765892
Is that a good score for TMT?
>>64765892
post yfw they gave Gaika and Chali XCX EP's a higher score than AMSP
>>64765633
I'd guess DG tonight and Radiohead later in the week
>>64765892
THM ON SUICIDE WATCH
>>64765913
it's alright, i guess. probably one of the more common scores.
they're kinda edgy and really concerned with cultural subtexts in music so i'm not surprised by the score (hence how i called it). honestly would not have been shocked of they went lower desu.
>>64765873
What do you mean by real? Like deep-cutting?
>>64765768
>>64765731
I like T&E but agree, Tim does so much great stuff on his own. His anti-stand-up for example is insanely funny.
>>64765779
Oh shit. Well I'm glad p4k agrees w/ me that his s/t was his best release so far.
>>64765845
Not that guy but I loved The Comedy. I need to see that director's other movies. I'd imagine I'd like them too. (btw seizure girl in that movie, and she's also in House of Cards 1st or 2nd season and some other shit....god I find her so sexy)
>>64765873
It has almost nothing in common with T&E humour. Tim's really just the lead, that's all. Worth watching. But yeah, it's a very 'real' movie. But not cringey...well there is some cringe, but in a different kind of way.
>>64765892
>styles: music
thanks tmt i appreciate it
>>64765983
>kinda
they are full blown edge usually
I'd say the most egregious thing about TMT is how hard they play favorites, like Dean Blunt and SOPHIE have put out shitty material before but TMT still gives them ridiculiously high scores
>>64765892
Is TMT considered a good and respected blog for reviews and other things of that nature?
>>64766056
i was a fan of "band"
>>64766024
The character is apparently that person who never grows up and thinks everythings a joke at 30+ years old, and that sounds painful to me
>>64765892
>All of this is completely necessary for listeners to proclaim in order to begin erasing, interpellating their relationships to big, male music.
what the fuck am I reading?
>>64765892
jesus christ that review is bloated with sophistry
might even be worse than p4k
>>64766086
Yes, it is painful. You should make yourself suffer some pain. That's that good shit (art that is).
Like Horace & Pete...yoooooooo

Dubs for double BNM with Death Grips and Radiohead
It seems there's a time in every white, male, middle class, suburban millennial's life where we, usually around the age of 13, fall in love with Radiohead. It's a perfectly natural reaction. Their melodramatic, angst-ridden screeds against vague ideas of corporate evil and heads of state fit perfectly into our newly minted interests in things we can hardly begin to understand. But you don't need to understand much to fully appreciate being holed up in your bedroom listening to Let Down on blast on our iPod alarm clock radio while thinking about your crush in Algebra who looked at you for a full 2 seconds that day. For their part, Radiohead has done well in transitioning these 13 y/os with burgeoning interests in music to transition to less juvenile acts. They've aped Talking Heads, Sonic Youth, Can, etc and thusly led their teenage fans down that road. Fast forward to their latest, 'A Moon Shaped Pool'. Radiohead seem to have given up on appropriating genuinely interesting music in favor of rehashing what sounds like a mishmash of Coldplay's greatest hits. For any well-learned, well-listened educated person the fact that the album is bad is not surprising. Radiohead have never produced a genuinely good album in their careers. But, still, they served a valuable purpose in the lives of music fans by leading them to greener pastures. With their ninth record instead they give them the finger and point to A.M.-radio-Superbowl-halftime-life-insurance-commercial rock music. Rock in scare quotes because as much as they still retain their love for guitars and drums and bass this is the most flaccid sound ever produced from an ostensibly uproarious art form. I mean Steely Dan managed to make tepid rock music sound nice by combining it with white-people-jazz and a supreme ear for melody but I can't say anything as redeeming for this heap Radiohead has put out. It's mid-tempo background music for 50 minutes. I almost don't want to call this music. 'Music' has the import of art
>>64766064
yeah, they do tend to stick with their favorites. one of the few examples of them swearving was panning rival delaer after highly scoring the rest of burial's releases.
>>64766070
i mostly use them for reference/curation. personally, i'm not a huge fan of their reviewing style, but i do appreciate how they're really trying to expand the language and semiotics around music and their total rejection of formalism.
>>64766070
No. the way they intellectualize music is fundamentally wrong. They're shit little kids who took one or two classes on modernist and postmodernist philosophy and jack off with copies of All That is Solid Melts into Air.
>>64766136
Im fine with movies that make me crawl (watched Elephant recently), but like, that character sounds like a very specific fear I have that makes me cringe into oblivion
>A Moon Shaped Pool is a “grower,” because all music is a grower. Here, there is perhaps a wider opportunity for the music to grow due to there being an audible release of sign and substance as a ghostly after-image of the band’s event-based trauma
lmfao tmt reads like one of my undergrad essays
9.2 for amsp
Srs
>>64766221
what the fuck is this
>>64766224
which is bullshit anyways since Rival Dealer is a great EP, thats probably the other most egregious thing, they never talk about the actual music, its all just overly dense word dumps that could be about ANY album
They'll review Radiohead tonight. They need to feed off the album hype before their general readership starts to lose interesting
why r all u redohead fans trigerd
8.9 bnm incuming but u wil stil b mad lol
also dg 8.7
>>64766252
lmao holy fuck this writing is atrocious, makes pitchfork look like literary geniuses

>>64765892
>The attempts at transcendence in Radiohead’s past make this album full with potential for retroactive catharsis due to its normality and lack, a sort of vernacular normcore presentation that delivers strands of Radiohead’s past in a utilitarian and casual manner.
>fucking normcore
>>64766301
sounds like youre triggered by our triggered, trigger
AMSP 8.5 BNM
At first I thought the TMT writing style was charming and a breath of fresh air, but then I realized every review was written in that same style and now it makes the whole website seem juvenile
>>64766301
i am in a constant state of being triggered u beast
it's got nothing to do with the radioheads
>The experience and emotions tied to listening to Kid A are like witnessing the stillborn birth of a child while simultaneously having the opportunity to see her play in the afterlife on Imax. It's an album of sparking paradox. It's cacophonous yet tranquil, experimental yet familiar, foreign yet womb-like, spacious yet visceral, textured yet vaporous, awakening yet dreamlike, infinite yet 48 minutes. It will cleanse your brain of those little crustaceans of worries and inferior albums clinging inside the fold of your gray matter. The harrowing sounds hit from unseen angles and emanate with inhuman genesis. When the headphones peel off, and it occurs that six men (Nigel Godrich included) created this, it's clear that Radiohead must be the greatest band alive, if not the best since you know who. Breathing people made this record! And you can't wait to dive back in and try to prove that wrong over and over.
>>64766338
How can people stand to read this? It's embarrassingly bad
BP 8.9
AMSP 9.2
>>64766348
sometimes they do offer interesting viewpoints (i actually sort of appreciated black metal by dean blunt more after their review) but they generally only save their super insightful evaluations for their fav artists.
>>64766373
Legendary. It's like reading a music critic continuously ejaculate over the course of a review.
9.1
The Radiohead review will be something boring like an 8.7
AMSP 9.5
>>64766422
I think the main problem is they have too many reviewers with very different styles, with pitchfork you generally get the same review regardless of writer, with TMT its anarchy
I feel like they might inflate the AMSP score just cause this year has absolutely sucked so far and they need to make a splash with something
8.5. rh btfo

do blacks recover slightly if BP get a good score? idk how it works with death grips, i just assume its still white people winning
>>64766635
Yeah but so were my grandmother's bowel movements.
>>64766616
I don't disagree with this.
>>64766373
DiCrescenzo's grave needs to be shadowed by a giant monolith with his Franz Ferdinand review inscribed on it.
I still think Beyoncé has their AOTY on lock unless The Avalanches, Frank O. or Swans drop a masterpiece.
All joking aside I think there's a real possibility p4k will turn their backs on SJW shit.
It's actually a recurring theme you see everywhere in society right now. The madness has finally reached boiling point and people have gotten fed up with it.
I predict the SJW craze is dead within 1 year. The Trump inauguration will mark the end of this mental illness.

Not really. No black person listens to DG.
>>64766755

No way Glowing Man was gonna top that (inflated) 9.2 anyhow
>>64766713
Just read this for the first time, this is transcendant, this is modern art
>>64766695
DG is as white a band as you can imagine. I don't think there are even any blacks that like DG.
this was actually a well written review. i had forgotten pitchfork staff were capable of those. 9.1 is a bit too high i think, but solid stuff.
>>64766764

they gave beyonce an 8.5. they're not going to give her AOTY over an album that scored 0.6 points higher... right??
>>64766784
ordinarily i would assume that most other bands that got all the shit flung at them like gira did would never get positive reviews from pitchfork again, but i'm pretty sure that the glowing man will still get BNM. it will be in the mid-high 8's, and will just barely miss being in the top 10 of the year. screencap this post.

Are you joking, my man? This is .2 lower than than their highest scores last year and three of the four of those were made by pasty-ass white dudes. Pitchfork giving Radiohead a good score is indicative of nothing other than Pitchfork still liking one of their favorite bands.

>>64766849
Proves that they pay attention to gossip instead of listening to music. Thinking up forced metaphors and false relations. There really isn't a technical exploration of the music just typical pitchfork fluff.
>It’s a vintage splash of Radiohead stomach acid, a cloud of gnats unleashed in your cranial nerves.
>>64766453
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I don't think pitchfork ever gave AOTY to people older than 40. Could this be their first?
>>64766764

>>64767030
you're an absolute idiot if you don't think that thom's split with his girlfriend isn't reflected in the album. why do you think the album ends with true love waits?

Thom isn't gay.
Not sure about the rest of the band, though.

>>64767030
>context doesn't matter at all
dude this is radiohead. rock music. pop. indie. whatever. these pop genres are all more than just an exploration in sound.
and that "gossip" could be very relevant. if it's relevant, it should be mentioned. a music review shouldn't just be a description of chord progressions and mixing
zoe, if you give DG a 9.2 i promise i'll stop masturbating to your pics
