dfminkle Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 So I am dfminkle responding to his tweet that it was "painful for him to give that review because Coldplay is one of his favorite bands." Honestly, I still call it BS, but he claims that if he were to have reviewed the previous albums for pitchfork he would have given these ratings: Parachutes: 10.0 Rush of Blood: 8.6 X&Y: 5.0 Viva La Vida: 10.0 Prospekt's March: 9.2 Mylo Xyloto: 8.9 .. Strangely generous. Though I wish more people would give parachutes that kind of credit. Bu Mylo 8.9? What in the hell did he see in that album that he didn't see in ghost stories? I'd be fine with those ratings being swapped. Though I'd still put ghost stories at like a 7.5 or something. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARoBttH14 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I think those personal reviews he's given you are fake. Something to keep the haters off him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Nails Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Interesting to read his thoughts. Proves how subjective reviews really are, even though there's a magazine/newspaper/website attached to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfminkle Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Yea I mean I think those reviews are BS. I mean 10's? Cmon... that's not even trying to be believable. I love how he tried to turn it on me saying "That's cool that you care." As if he doesn't... take some fucking pride in your work dude. Don't hide behind a guise of "not really caring" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually find Mylo Xyloto much more interesting then Ghost Stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kmm1482 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 To be honest, he might have given it a much higher rating, but his editor may have interjected to be "in keeping" with the other album reviews and more in line with the "integrity" of Pitchfork Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennyrott2 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Really interesting to see this reviewer actually loving all the other albums...I am not sure I buy it entirely though. I actually enjoyed his review, I felt his history of Coldplay was pretty good. Of course, I don't agree entirely with his criticisms with Ghost Stories, I would probably give it a 6 or 7. But that still for me, like this reviewer, is the lowest score I would give a Coldplay album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasoKnight Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Hmmm... He may be the only person on the planet who would rank Parachutes > Mylo > AROBTTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getithom Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 You were too nice to him im guessing. I wouldve destroyed him. Was clearly having you on. But that's his opinion. There's no need to call someone angrily on social media because you disagree with someone.

theprospekt Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Reviews are always subjective, but not entirely useless. Sometimes you can get hold of some little gems, facts you didn't know etc. What I dislike about some reviews/reviewers is the type of arguments and the language they use. Many of these arguments could easily be turned around to being in favor of the 'target' of the review. I feel I always come across the word 'inoffensive' when reading Coldplay reviews. There are of course different senses of the word, but really I don't see how being 'inoffensive' can be a bad thing. It's basically saying, hey look this is a terrible album 'cause it's not OFFENDING anyone. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
