Everyone likes to dunk on p4k. It's the accepted cool position to take because their reviews sound pretentious a lot of the time and they're pretty established.



Personally I always found them a bit hit or miss. I enjoy playful language and pretention sometimes though so there's that lol

I guess we're all slaves to the algorithm and fantano these days? I really don't know what influences the kids and their tastes these days tbh. I'm a sput geezer.

I’m glad to hear their influence has waned tbh because I always thought they were a bunch of wankers (again mid-00s)

(they’re probably okay now, but idk)

I think they jumped on a lot of trends even back then, yet acted like they were true trailblazers.

They probably were wankers too. But wankers with a solid grasp on the english language and who enjoyed to get unnecessarily dense in their analyses/tangents. I kinda dug that as a change from more straight-forward "this gud/this sux" reviews every now and then tbh

there were plenty of other reviewers around at the time who didn’t have that same aura of pretentiousness tho

don’t get me wrong, they were a useful resource for a couple of years before I finally realised how to use this developing internet thing properly

I'm sure there were. Personally I gravitated more to sput for that more communal music nerd aura this place has always had. The best resource is always other passionate people afterall.



Thank you fellow sputters, except for the dickeds.

I’m biased to be fair because P4k helped me discover… nothing? I’m guessing their influence was apparent, but directly I mean

honestly the current era of RYM flagellation is preferable just because it has some semblance of individuality and honesty, “for the people” and all the jazz

Then again circa mid-00s I was frequenting some other niche music website, lol

Yeah I agree. I think I mainly just enjoyed reading word sallad about shit I had already heard most of the time on p4k.

I was like half trolling there but I do find the reactions funny when I say I haven't heard a full SOAD album
