i dont trust any music reviews from any source really. too subjective and sporadic. thats why aggregate ratings are the most useful metric and why i come to sputnik pretty much.

Pitchfork is and has always been pretentious garbage. Their authors seem to believe that simple album write-ups provide ample opportunity to regurgitate thesaurus-powered think pieces about politics and the human condition.

Pitchfork is gonna give this a 5-something if I had to take a guess. Q Magazine is one you can always count on to overrate things and they even gave this a 60 so that should be a sign that it’s not very good. I don’t see how you can logically give it anything over a 60. Most of it is just mindless filler and the rest are just bad songs.
But yeah pitchfork has gone to crap. They’re way too liberal for their own good.

Agreed completely.

It's not even Pitchfork's politics that bother me. I just think that their writers are legitimately poor at reviewing music. They seem to lack a fundamental understanding of a review's purpose; if I can read a 2000 word write-up and come away with almost no grasp of how an album sounds, that's an issue.

We Don’t Deserve Love is fantastic at least. I bumped my thoughts about the new album up a notch. It’s still pretty bad, but not as bad as I originally thought. Good God Damn, Creature Comfort, Chemistry, and the fillers are all pretty awful still. I find the music in Infinite_Content (the slow one) to be intriguing. Unfortunately the song is too shallow and not substantial at all.

New one is probably amazing tbh

It's not bad but not fantastic either. Makes me appreciate this more though.

Ehh I just said it’s not as bad as I originally thought. It’s still pretty bad. Don’t go into it with high expectations because after all a huge chunk of the content has already released. Most of the unreleased stuff are just fillers. The two tracks before the outro in addition to Electric Blue are awesome, but that’s about it. Outside of that, Signs of Life is good and Peter Pan is tolerable. The others are pretty much filler tracks or just really bad, and I’m not sure I can grow into them. If you go into it thinking it’s amazing, you’re probably gonna be let down.

I feel I’ve warmed up to Creature Comfort a bit. It’s still one of the worst ones on there and in their whole discog, imo, but the part starting about 3 minutes 30 seconds into it on through the ending is pretty cool. The lead up to that part is pretty unbearable though with the electronics and abrasive harshness of it.
