Post reviews where Pitchfork was ridiculously wrong about an album. Starting off with this dreaded review of a masterpiece.

Daily reminder that Pitchfork ratings literally mean nothing.

The Frances the Mute review is even worse. Probably the most pretentious and pointlessly negative review I've read that isn't also by Pitchfork .

Would be a fantastic album but almost all of the features are terrible. Midcity is so much better
>>
>>65904660

Thank you on posting the actual review. It's kind of underappreciated how terrible P4K's actual reviews are, not just the score. Anyone can give a disagreeable score to an album, but it takes a special kind of asshole to write shit like this.
>>
Remember that Pitchfork reviews are also based on album hype and politics surrounding the album.

How to get your band attention:

>be angry minority/trans with terrible views
>blame society for all your problems
>get enough attention for p4k to suck your dick

He wrote the best reviews though

>The first song is called "The Grudge," and it's about astrology and how people control stuff. Maynard sings like a robot or clone at the opening, spitting, "Wear the crutch like a crown/ Calculate what we will/ Will not tolerate/ Desperate to control/ All and everything." Tool know about space and math, and it's pretty complex. "Saturn ascends/ Not one but ten," he sings. No Doubt and R.E.M. sang out that, too, but those songs were wimpy and short. Maynard shows his intelligence with raw stats. I think there's meaning behind those numbers, like calculus. He also mentions "prison cell" and "tear it down" and "controlling" and "sinking deeper," which all symbolize how he feels. Seven minutes into the song, he does this awesome scream for 24 seconds straight, which is like the longest scream I've ever heard. Then at the end there's this part where Danny Carey hits every drum he has. This wall of drums just pounds you. Then the next song starts and it's quiet and trippy. Tool are the best metal band, since they can get trippy (almost pretty, but in a dark way) then just really loud. Most bands just do loud, so Tool is more prog.
