I feel like synthwave is the animeist music, but like depressing, 4Channy "anime avatar" anime.

I'm curious about some of my favourite albums: 10 for Let It Be by The Replacements (re-issue) in 2008. I'm not sure any album is "perfect", but them liking it made sense, especially since by 2008 PF had quit their lovely snotty record-store clerk persona. 9.1 for Your Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr in 2005. Ditto, I guess. I know some of my favourite recent albums were well received by them, so it doesn't feel sporting to look up canon classics and recent critical darlings - let's look at contemporary reviews from their prime period of shittyness, let's go 2000-2002: Okay, a 10 for Kid A - predictable. It's a great record, but I can see Pitchfork 2000 sniffing farts just because it's alienating. 8.5 for the Argument by Fugazi in 2001. We already know that they did Discovery by Daft Punk dirty that same year. Honestly, they haven't done my taste particularly dirty, but that probably indicates that I have Pitchfork friendly taste more than anything. I do recall them giving anything that would make them seem "uncool" low marks which reeks of hipster insecurity. Like, a fairly fun album I still enjoy time to time is "Something to Write Home About" by the Get Up Kids. It got called emo at the time, but honestly sits somewhere between that and power-pop. Pitchfork review: 2.0 in 1999. Just absolute terror that they'd have to cast themselves out of Portland or Brooklyn or wherever.

Disco Pope posted:Eh, the Thursday one maybe not so much, it's pretty samey (but still soundtracked being 18 for me). I tried listening to Full Collapse recently and it just doesn’t hit the same as it once did. Relationship of Command and Yank Crime still fuckin slap though.

I completely stopped reading this type of poo poo about music like ten years ago and weirdly it hasn't stopped me from making music or socializing with others who make music, and sometimes it all comes together into a real life making of live music.

Yeah, listening back, it feels closer to Brand New or Taking Back Sunday or something than post-hardcore. Also, that song about native American genocide using that Thu-duh-duh-duh Thu-duh-duh-duh beat feels a bit off.

The problem is good new music is hard to find and Pitchfork rose to popularity because they thoroughly reviewed many new albums, and with an indie focus. They quickly became too big for their birches, but I browsed the site for years looking for music and found a band I liked every once in a blue moon. The issue is lesser nowadays with streaming services recommending music, but it's still hard to find music you'd enjoy without following the likes of Anthony Fantano.

hey I recently revisited that album too and had such a great time. It just completely fell out of my brain for 12 years. But I was surprised how quickly I could remember a bunch of lyrics and guitar chords like on Out of Reach or Close to Home and I agree with the PF criticisms.

I never read them, but I listen to all their "Best 100 songs of the 80s." Mostly good stuff but nobody should ever like New Order that much unless they are a depressed 80s teenager having cocaine for the first time.
