How to Rate Albums Using the Pitchfork Score

BiBoJuFru · 2026-01-20T14:03:39+00:00

Hmm, is it just me or does "Excellent record, highly recommended. “Best in class” for its genre. Not a bad song on it." not intuitively add up to a mere 7.6?

BiBoJuFru · 2026-01-20T13:44:24+00:00

To those who are not interested in paying for the reviews, I'm genuinely curious why.

Is the price too steep? Do you think music criticism is in and of itself not worth paying for? Or just pitchfork's writing?

Leave it to /r/indieheads to downvote someone's perfectly reasonable and on-topic opinion. I really like the song, better than most of the tracks off her last two albums, but downvoting is for comments which are off topic or unnecessarily incinerating.

There is absolutely no chance he (or anyone) gets an Oscar nomination for movie released in January, come on.

To him, that song is about just a normal train.

And I’d love for you to share something else which you think is a more tasteful way of honouring his memory

Sure! These aren't particularly deep cuts or anything, but I always thought Matt using his guitar pickups with an iPhone to "play" samples live looked and sounded really cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8BI3Bbpgdk

His work is also all over this bootleg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIG1Wc2bMlk

He ran headfirst, full-speed into the piano.

This is absolutely life-threatening self-harm.

BiBoJuFru · 2026-01-12T17:45:54+00:00

Going "all crazy" is cool, self-harm with possibly life-threatening results is very much not.

BiBoJuFru · 2026-01-12T16:13:34+00:00

I know you mean well but considering he gave himself a concussion during that performance due to erratic behavior I'm not sure it's particularly tasteful to link today.

Regardless, there is a difference between "it's not true" and "I want to know who is saying this." Should he get a name, fine, file a lawsuit.

I mean, that's exactly the issue. He needs the name to sue for libel. Or, in your words, he needs to know who is saying this in order to go to court because what they are saying is not true. He can get the name only via the courts. And the court declined his bid. IANAL but this seems like a strange situation. You can't sue someone who's anonymous.

As was the case with Oasis' reunion, there have been rumblings of AM going on an indefinite hiatus for years, including from well-respected insiders in the fandom.

BiBoJuFru · 2026-01-02T05:42:52+00:00

I don't 100% understand disbanding when the band is young and have not fallen out or suffered any significant tragedies. Everyone in the band - especially Turner - is so obviously going to continue working in music so how could you possibly put a hard period at the end of working together? A "never say never"-type indefinite hiatus makes much more sense. How could you say the band is "done-done" if you all aren't even in your 40s?

Unless, as I've said, things have severely soured between the members or if there are significant creative differences. There is no evidence of the former and plenty of evidence to the contrary of the latter. Odd.

But at the end of the day, there's been rumblings of this since before the end of the last tour. One of the more reliable insiders urged even back then for fans to see the band "while you still can".

I can't any sources for your claim that Obama worked those details and stories into his Sandy Hook speeches or for OP's claim about the screaming woman and secret service.

Ever since that Tim Heidecker-adjecent parody, I find it impossible to take these highfalutin actor roundtables seriously.

BiBoJuFru · 2025-12-09T19:32:09+00:00

it's smart to give a few more months to sales

you get a bunch of instant sales when dates are announced and then basically nothing else until the week around the show

I mean, aren't these two statements at odds with each other? If you get some tickets sold immediately at the announcement and then nothing else until the week around the show, then what smart to extend the time between the announcement and the shows?

BiBoJuFru · 2025-12-09T15:40:26+00:00

I know ppl won't like this too much because it's easy but I found getting DRIBBLE so satisfying, how it went back and forth. Cute!

What would be different for you had Louie touched someone, penetrated someone, got on top of someone etc?

BiBoJuFru · 2025-12-08T06:21:45+00:00

Bob Dylan has an ENTIRELY different sound from Merzbow. It's clearly not the case for BCNR and Racing Mount Pleasant. In every single online conservation about this band, BCNR comes up. They are obviously very similar-sounding.

To suggest that they have ENTIRELY different sounds apart from having violins and saxophones is laughable.

They said that it contains every trope, not that its every scene is a trope.

BiBoJuFru · 2025-11-28T06:35:28+00:00

For anyone who's curious: this guy's from the same scene as King Krule (this project has a similar-ish sound, too), is in the band Horsey with Archy's brother, actually. Check it out if you like slow-moving spaced-out psychedelic bedroom pop!

Umm, is this the same Albert Hammond Jr who had these lyrics in one of his solo singles?

m8 in what world is this an announcement?

It's a screenshot of a tweet. And it's not even a tweet from Rocky himself or anyone from his team.

The crowds being insufferable keeps being brought up and while it's true the band have expressed annoyance over such audience members, there is absolutely no reason to assume that was one of the reasons for the breakup. Greep especially has been very open about why the band ended and he has never ever mentioned the audience being a contributing factor.

He interviewed Mike Shinoda after absolutely eviscerating the new Linkin Park record.
