damn that's kinda overrating it. i kinda like how marcel gave it a 7/10 instead because he wasn't just rating it because it was james ferraro. sure, he rides ferraro's dick all the time, but not this extent where he gives everything of his a 10/10. he's at least critical of some of his more recent works.

lol, of course

tmt never gave a perfect score to ferraro this is a first

>>66258232
well they gave skid row a 4.5, and they still seem to highly praise every release that he puts out. that was more my point.

i don't think that's "overrating". first you gotta have in mind that tmt is way less selective with their high scores than say p4k: they give out several perfect scores every year while p4k's last perfect 10 was in 2010.
with that said, two 4.5s, a 4.0, a 3.5 and now a 5.0 doesn't look like shilling or overrating, just another musician they champion

>>66258348
true. i just wish they didn't have these sort of "pet" musicians like one anon mentioned in another thread. it get kind of predictable and they do this with this sort of postmodern electronic genre they love so much, too.

I like Ferarro but this was not his finest hour.

but pitchfork rates albums based on how buzzworthy they are and whether or not the reviews will gain a lot of page clicks

when was the last time they gave a 9+/10 to a debut from a non buzzworthy musciian?

Nah its shit

Anyone get their tapes yet?

yeah p4k gave it a 5 out of 5 as well

>>66258610
p4k is a dying breed, son. who cares about them. it's all about the /avant/ blogs now.

He apparently sent out emails saying they shipped out but that was close to 2 weeks ago...
