August 16, 201114 yr But, i predict them to find a flaw, and to poke at it, and wear away at it. By that i want them to score them a 9.0, but sadly, if they find a flaw, they will rate it a 3.5 or 5.0. if they find no flaws, we might be looking at a high score rating.
August 16, 201114 yr I still think that James Blake is the only thing they've reviewed this year that deserves a 9 or over. Bon Iver should have been in the range of 8.5 and Fleet Foxes at 6.5... /opinions
August 16, 201114 yr Come on they gave AROBTTH 5.1? It deserves more than that. Wow. Well if they gave ARoBttH a 5.1 then I doubt they'll like MX. It sounds decent so far, but it doesn't compare. (of course, that could always change :sneaky:)
August 16, 201114 yr The one thing I don't get is how on earth they could give VLV a higher rating than both Parachutes and AROBTTH
August 16, 201114 yr Author They were willing to give "Helplessness Blues" by Fleet Foxes a 2 (which is BULL, by the way). I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Coldplay got an equally low score. Yeah, they gave it more than a 2! And yes, it is nice that they crapped on an album like The Resistance and didn't just say nice things about it because others were.
August 16, 201114 yr What? Helplessness Blues got an 8.8, and THAT is bull. -Googles- Oh. Oops. My bad. I thought I had heard somewhere on the forum that Fleet Foxes got a 2 from somewhere. My mistake. :embarrassed:
August 16, 201114 yr Author Also was impressed they gave MIA's latest a really low score since they were really high on her first few albums.
August 16, 201114 yr EMA was deserving of its BNM, it's the only lo-fi record that I've heard that sticks.
August 16, 201114 yr Well..at least they are honest and don't just kiss up to successful bands. Still don't think I'm gonna take their review of MX too seriously.
August 16, 201114 yr while pitchfork definitely rips on coldplay, i think most of their ripping has been from a place that made sense. i love coldplay, they're my favorite band, but a lot of that doesn't have to do with how incredible their albums are in comparison to other bands musically. they reach me at a personal level very little other music can. that said, i really think coldplay are primed to get their best album rating yet, probably closer to 7.5. the tracks that we've heard sound good and i bet their album versions will musically push themselves further than they ever have before. i don't think they were kind in their evaluation of viva. i think they were right on the mark for them. but this time i think it'll be up even higher.
August 16, 201114 yr Well, they gave VLV a good rating (at least for Coldplay... 6.9? right?). In my opinion (from what I've heard) I think LP5 might be better. There's hope for it, but some critics' favorite sport is to bash on Coldplay. I don't think know if much will change. I originally voted on the low score, but I'm beginning to think it might actually be a bit higher now...
August 16, 201114 yr The first 3 albums scored in the 5.0 range and yet Viva la Vida somehow got a 6.9 or something, so Pitchfork clearly has their heads screwed on backwards when it comes to Coldplay. Judging by the crap we've heard so far from the album, I'd say it will almost be worthy of Pitchfork's Best New Music stamp, but not quite. They'll give it a 7.8 so it can still be below The King of Limbs.
August 16, 201114 yr I said 3.1-4. Dunno why though, I never really agree with any review Pitchfork has.
August 16, 201114 yr They are obviously not objective, so I can't give them any credits. Yes, you can diss me :p
August 16, 201114 yr :blank: They gave Viva la Vida a higher rating than A Rush of Blood to the Head.... AROBTTH > VLV
August 16, 201114 yr :blank: They gave Viva la Vida a higher rating than A Rush of Blood to the Head.... AROBTTH > VLV VLV > AROBTTH Haha ;)
August 16, 201114 yr I'll go with an average score of 5.1-6.0.If you just come into this thread and diss pitchfork I will diss you right back.Pitchfork are shit.
August 16, 201114 yr :blank: They gave Viva la Vida a higher rating than A Rush of Blood to the Head.... AROBTTH > VLV definitely. :nod:
