except not at all because the pitchfork audience doesn't latch onto shit like this anymore
>>66025890
this is also a bad answer

Good answer is something like G.L.O.S.S.

I first heard these guys on the radio around the release of Sunbathing Animal. Really liked what i heard, so i checked them out. Shitfork had nothing to do with that.

I know plenty of people who listen to Parquet because pitchfork. just because you don't have friends doesn't mean your opinion holds an absolute truth.

Christgau gave this album an A. I like the Lou Reedian vocals, but the band isn't catchy enough for me instrumentally to be bale to hold up the sing-speak act for an entire album's worth.

>>66025677
I didnt know them and saw them live after they released their first album. Pitchfork had nothing to do with it.
Also if i'm not mistaken Shitfork shat on their drone/minimalist/experimental or whatever the fuck you want to call it EP,it was Monastic Living iirc.

Arcade Fire. Win and Merge even confirmed it.

>Arcade Fire is among the bands most commonly cited to have benefited from a Pitchfork review. In a 2005 Chicago Tribune article, a Merge Records employee states, "After the Pitchfork review, [Funeral] went out of print for about a week because we got so many orders for the record."

i know plenty of people who listen to them not because of pitchfork, lol
>y-you just dont have friends!
I love the taste of projection

>>66025677
Except Light up Gold is their most acclaimed album, and that was never BNM

>>66026023
clarence clarity

>>66026024
the band is just solid. it's modern but preserves the post-punk roots enough to not feel contrived. it's like if real estate had balls mixed with pavement or yo la tengo

>>66026185
I'm glad Clarence clarity got some attention. Best r&b act of the last decade.

>>66025677

I love these guys tho. They're like shitty Pavement, sure, but they really hit me in the "weed decreases the quality of my life but I can't stop smoking it" feel

>>66026647
Interesting, I can't make it past like the third song on No Now. I've tried to listen to it like five times by this point. Does it get better further in? I remember liking the first track but being immediately put off by the
>a life without sex is a life without sin
song. I think that's the second?

>>66026748
I mean is it the lyrics that are putting you off? Because the album is full of weird kinda uncomfortable imagery like that. Not saying the lyrics are 100% poetry, but I think they fit the aesthetic he was looking for

>>66026807
no, just the glitzy, cluttered instrumentation/production really. It's always so much for me to take in that I get overwhelmed and end up turning it off.

>>66026828
Oh yeah, then honestly it just might not be your thing. Although I would recommend listening to the singles. You may like songs like Those Who Can't, Cheat and maybe Cancer in the Water.

>>66026882
thanks dude, ill check those out now

good, that album is trash

>>66025677

Then why did "Light up Gold" only get an 8.0?

>>66027160
It's really not, it's one of their most interesting releases

8.0 is a pretty damn good score.
