What's so bad about discovering an album from a review site?

Pitchfork is a tastemaker site, so naturally when people hear about something in a positive light it gets more popular.

Even if you disagree with pitchfork is it so bad that a music site gets people interested in music?

>any examples?

/mu/, Reddit, Last.fm

Arcade Fire, Kanye West, AnCo

Pitchfork Festival artists

Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé

>community of middlebrow sheep fawns over p4k scores
gee who would have thought

Pitchfork is the arbiter of what gets bad or good recognition in music. It doesn't even matter what they give it. As long as they talk about it.

I remember how scire for new Dance Gavin Dance album massively plummeted after Fantano reviewd it

Avant-teen pls go

avant-teen music is some of RYM's favorite shit though. it's the epitome of music-for-middlebrows

I never said it was a bad thing, but I wonder how scores would look if a pitchfork didn't review them

>>65858309
>implying people only enjoy Kendrick/Kanye/Beyonce because pitchfork gives her good scores

can you get a life please

>>65859318
we get it, you are a post avant savant

>>65859726
kendrick lamar and beyonce are godawful and kanye's last album was an abomination. music for adhd-ridden, easily-impressed retards.

ok even if that's the case, saying that Pitchfork is responsible for their popularity is fucking stupid, they're massively successful artists with chart hits and millions of fans most of whom don't read music criticism sites
