GUYS
we can do it
we can be the force to get him his well deserved recognition
vote for the most lamentable tragedy for underrated album of the year
what have they done to TMT
>>60891586
it's a shame
what do you think their AOTY will be anyway?
>>60891543

Daily reminder that Kendrick was robbed
>>60891543
Bloated trash
An 8.1 was far too great a mercy
>>60891543
i'd rather them have to put marky mark in that spot
>>60891699
i bet you think TPAB is AOTY
>>60891734
i love mark, he's based as fuck, but i firmly believe that he could get every single vote and pitchfork still wouldn't put him there. that's why i'm putting my vote towards someone that they might give it to.
SB2H tonight?
>>60891772
hope so
>>60891772
I don't think they will review it. Its a total disaster, nobody likes it. Low quality, not very good.
>>60891802
I could see them giving it a 0.0 just for the inevitable pageviews
>>60891620
i'm thinking vulnicura somehow
>>60891802
Come on. P4K shines when they're panning shit. Their review of Childish Gambino's Camp is still absolute gold.
>>60891837
what
>>60891837
possible
I wonder if The Ark Work will be addressed at all in their end of year lists, they definitely refused to review it on purpose.
>>60891872
they did review ark work tho
>>60891812
i don't think they'd do that
travistan absolutely destroyed travis morrison's solo career. someone from p4k commented saying that they'll probably never be able to do that again, just because they're not in it to destroy artists careers (unless the artist pisses them off, see mark kozelek).
>>60891872
speaking of deliberately not reviewing shit, floridada when?
>>60891872
or they decided to subject the world to only one shitty poser faux black metal album that all the other indie blogs would then immediately have to pretend to like for muh eclecticism
>>60891903
>>60891872
nvm thought we were talking about p4k
matrix tapes should be a 10.
>>60891906
you act like TAW isn't designed for winning Eureka! status
NIGHTLY RUNDOWN
Chi-Raq OST 5.0
The Velvet Underground 8.5
jennylee 7.3
Nadia Reid 7.2
Stephan Mathieu 7.9
Sb2h must wait...for now
>>60891946
oh i missed that we were talking about TMT, but that just helps my point - they fucking PANNED Deafheaven (and called out a bunch of other "hipster metal" at the same time). why would they be kinder to TAW?
>>60891978
because Liturgy is nothing like Deafheaven
and Liturgy is meme-tier "post-internet" music that TMT reviewers would cream themselves over
even if it was a 0/5 review, it still would have been a 20,000 word essay on the album
the fact that they just ignored it is quite sad honestly, would've been a very interesting read, negative or positive
the band that is the reason pitchfork exists today got an 8.5 but no BNR and got snubbed in the front spot for some shitty meme film OST
fuck this kuck site
Guess they didn't review Late Nights since they gave TVU an 8.5 and they will almost certainly give LN a 8.9-9.3 bnm
>>60892039
their whole point in the Deafheaven review was that Deafheaven (and Agalloch and Deathspell Omega and...) fundamentally went against the genre constructs of black metal in a way that was inappropriate. Liturgy position themselves as making an entirely new genre of black metal, transcendental black metal, that is a complete hyperbolic sham for them to be able to make the kind of shitty synthesis that bands like Deafheaven, Alcest, etc. (granted, by dipping fingers in different pies) generate. i'm glad TMT didn't waste their time on Liturgy's bullshit.
>>60892307
>fundamentally went against the genre constructs of black metal in a way that was inappropriate
that's not necessarily the same case with TAW since the point was to meld genre tropes that were intentionally inappropriate and in bad taste
I'm not here in praise of either album, but you can't put them in the same basket and review them in that way.
> i'm glad TMT didn't waste their time on Liturgy's bullshit.
well that's just no fun desu senpai baka
