AGuyIsWatchingYou
12.28.11 | The Shine On review and the Lateralus review are actually pretty spot on (inb4buttmad). If you want a shitty pitchfork review go look at the ones Something To Write Home About and I Get Wet. Also they gave Homogenic a 9.9 but don't explain why they liked it. |
AGuyIsWatchingYou
12.28.11 | Wait a minute, is this supposed to be about legitimately shitty pitchfork reviews or reviews where pitchfork gave an album you liked a low rating/an album you disliked a great rating. Because if it's the latter I don't want to be here. |

12.28.11 | the shine on review is funny as, the rest is terrible.

12.28.11 | though when pitchfork reviews are good, they can be very good indeed |

12.28.11 | Actually I take back what I said about I Get Wet, I just remembered that review is supposed to be a joke and piss take on people who take it seriously. |

12.28.11 | the shine on review is one of the funniest things i've seen on a review site |

12.28.11 | Their 10000 Days review is worse than the Lateralus one

12.29.11 | "well, I take Tool about as seriously as I do black metal"
what the fuck. I'm not too into black metal, but what a steaming pile of shit this guy is |

12.29.11 | "I had never even seen a shooting star before"
i stopped reading there lolol |

12.29.11 | Tool is good, yes. *nods appreciatively* |

01.08.12 | How could I forget The Fragile? |
Yuli
01.08.12 | "well, I take Tool about as seriously as I do black metal or Lil Jon or the films of Tsui Hark. Which is to say, not very"
The incredibly redundant nature of this reminds me of the Childish Gambino line:
"so why does everyone have a problem with talking stupid shit? or is it real shit? ‘cause sometimes that stupid shit is real shit" |

01.31.13 | Their writing is embarrassingly pretentious (not a word I use often), with objectiveness thrown out the window. If I had not heard any of the albums above I would only have a very vague idea of what the albums actually sound like. |
MisterTornado
01.31.13 | watch out base, p4k gobble up the arcade fire! |
Polyethylene
01.31.13 | The reviews where they gush = embarrassing (even if the album rules)
The reviews where they slam = hilarious and often accurate |
VermicideReloadead
01.31.13 | The only one that is really awful is number 3, you should add to this list the reviews they made of albums released by nine inch nails, placebo and the mars volta, atmosphere and more.anyways you shouldn't take that website so seriously specially if they take care with a score abover 8 |
TMobotron
01.31.13 | I've always had a very strong hatred for the Gospel review. He mentions tool in it as well if that interests you guys who just got done reading the lat one:
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/3681-the-moon-is-a-dead-world/
The reviewer takes a stance that the album is some attempt to be cool and speaks condescendingly about the album and its supposed target audience (which the reviewer is completely wrong about -- "fit to be sold at Hot Topic") for seemingly no other purpose than to flaunt his imagined superiority. I was gonna quote some exceptionally bad parts but fuck it the whole thing sucks. Possibly the most annoying thing is the fact that he ends up giving the album a score that's not at all unreasonable and actually pretty good. |

01.31.13 | That RoC one is fucking horrible

furyroad97
01.14.16 | The one they did for The Fragile was pretty goddamn hilarious, considering the guy who did said he just jammed it in the car for a bit & did the review after that. The Shady XV one's pretty bad, too. |
TheSpaceMan
01.14.16 | its actually hilarious how the Kid A and Lateralus reviews read exactly the same |
Krvst
01.14.16 | I remember their Deftones S/T 'review' is pretty horrible |
FrozenVain
01.14.16 | oh shit that Kid A review is cheesy af |
Britch2tiger
10.22.16 | You are SPOT-ON. How dare they rate any of these albums as 1/10 (I remember Lateralus)... |
altertide0
10.22.16 | i think the only pitchfork reviews i have actually ever read are the ones for kid a, lateralus, and the fragile. all ridiculous |
