That kind of accuracy is unwarranted in my opinion, which is also the reason why I think the accuracy of Pitchfork reviews is completely ridiculous.


everything about Pitchfork reviews is ridiculous. the scores are the least of it.

They've gotten better, though. I was reading some of their album reviews from the late 90's and they gave me a pretty good laugh. My favorite was when they say John Coltrane is a big influence on drum n bass:

I think they've just gotten more serious. Better is subjective. As bad as those 90s reviews were (I definitely read P4K when it first began), the current state of their reviews is disgustingly self-congratulatory. I'm not sure which version I'd rather have. I like some of their other content, but the reviews have always been horrendous. But it has led to some pretty amazing content on http://ripfork.com/

Ripfork.com just sucked a couple hours out of my life. 'S okay, I'm sitting at work watching my servers run hour-long processes. Just wanted to say, thanks for showing me another addictive website.
