Bad Purchase posted:yep I'm pretty sure they famously gave MBDTF a 10. Also, that Andrew W.K. album probably deserved better, but after I was like "yeah, he likes parties alright!" I'm not sure if it warranted repeat headphones listens. Also, the score for the Tool album should have been Pi to 15 places. A deservedly low score, but also funny.

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.

BAGS FLY AT NOON posted: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. 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.
