Why did Pitchfork give this album 1.9?
Why doesn't Pitchfork like the Tool?
because king crimson influenced nu-metal is never a good idea
>>65051713
>1.9
Why can't they just round off to 2?
>>65051732
>nu-metal
More like grunge
The only thing I can say about this is that at least this was during the days when pitchfork was skewed by snobbery and hipstersdom, as opposed to black/ female/ trap score curvature.
>>65051732
Except in this case it literally was. It's one of the best prog albums of the 21st century, second only to everything Magma have released in the last 15 years.
>>65051775
more like sludge
If that came out today and Maynard was black, it'd get 9.2 BNM
Pitchfork is trash and everybody knows it
>>65051713
p4k is a bunch of hipsters
do you really think they'd like tool?
they're the kind of people that think technical ability makes music inherently bad
>>65051713
because pitchfork is fucking trash
lateralus is one of the best albums of the 21st century. definitely top 5 metal. panopticon is for sure better though...
>>65051713
Don't worry anon! That's about to change: http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2016/05/19/rocker-maynard-james-keenan-compares-donald-trump-hitler/

>>65051818
The Mars Volta and porcupine tree released better albums. Even coheed and Cambria released a better album

They're just a post-hardcore prog version of Wolfmother
>Porcupine Tree
If you're talking about the metal album it's pretty much exactly the same thing

See Grimes, Antony Hegarty
When's the new album out?

That sounds pretty cool actually.
>>65052097

>>65051713
i hate p4k but this album is fucking TRASH, bitch about tmv being rated poorly because that's actually good stuff
>>65052036
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
>>65051713
Because Tool is gay and faggot
>>65051713
Not black enough or not enough old-timey instruments played by geeky nu males.

>Magma
Put your fucking trip back on proge
I'm genuinely curious why people dislike them though. The lyrics might be shit, but you can't deny there's a lot of musicality in the band's playing.
It was that guy who reviewed Kid A. He was a little nuts and childish
>>65054253
>artist is transsexual
>At least 9.0 + BNM
Elysia Crampton got an 8.x no BNM
>>65052097
>Coheed releasing anything better than Lateralus
I actually like Coheed and this isn't true. In Keeping Secrets is maybe better than Untertow.
Reminder

What a coincidence—he also gave NYC Ghosts and Flowers 0.0.

>We Chicagoans are stubbornly proud. We shout insults to New York with mouths full of all-beef hot dogs and Old Style beer. This general resentment mostly stems from being dubbed "The Second City." However, landmarks like NYC Ghosts & Flowers refocus our dislike with greater alacrity. Sonic Youth's umpteenth album wads everything we hate about New York into one convenient tissue. The only thing missing is the Mets. Sonic Youth remind us that white New Yorkers still grow soul-patches and goatees, wear berets and Rastafarian caps, dine on grilled tofu in an emulsification of goat butter and kumquat, and watch Dutch documentaries about fisting, thinking it's original, intellectual, or influential.

Found some new interests for my facebook profile

I am fully enjoying your gets
Not sure who's more narrow minded and obnoxious, the people who really like Tool, or the people who really really hate Tool. They're a fun band, Aenima was genuinely funny, stop taking their Palahniuk-tier philosophy so seriously.

in 2013 he said in an interview
>I now love the record. It's unlike anything else; eerie and beautiful. [...] No, the lesson here is: beware the opinions of a kid right out of college.

If /mu/ doesn't like an artist's fanbase then they are the worst artist ever without question
>>65055179
I went through a phase in my teens where I dismissed them because they weren't "muh indie" or Radiohead or too "edgy". I've learned to appreciate their musicianship and even like Maynard's side projects like APC and Puscifer. Some of their fanbase can go overboard tho, and I can see that turning some people off.
>>65055792
APC is genuinely bad, they mostly just do slow boring covers and insist on playing them live. At their best, they're just Tool with significantly worse bass and drumming.

Can we make this new Pitchfork slogan please
