So We're NOT Going To Talk About Channel Orange Getting a 9.5 From Pitchfork

[The_King_of_Everything]

you mean fakkit hipsters gave a fakkit hipster's album a high score???

 

[Harry B]

No, not really. It's an opinion. Just like yours and just like mine.

And just because I thought it was merely good rather than amazing, I'm an oddball?

But their opinion is a lot more valuable than yours, so yes it's an opinion but not like yours or mine. Your opinion holds no value amongst thousands or millions of people, other peoples do.

So I have to be mad to make a thread like this.

OK, whatever.

But does that make it right? No, it just means that the people that like it have influence.

We're just waiting rapt for the Life is Good review. I pray a panning is on the way.

People are afraid to say Nas is mediocre bordering on lame because they're fishing for daps etc and are afraid of the new generation of hip-hop and having an opinion that goes against the coli grain.

P4K do the right thing

Life is not fair

What emotion(s) were you experiencing when you made this thread?

 

[TrueEpic08]

What emotion(s) were you experiencing when you made this thread?

Shock, mostly.

But I probably shouldn't have even felt that. I don't hate Pitchfork like most, but it IS Pitchfork.

Is 9.5 the highest a record has received at Pitchfork or have Radiohead, Animal Collective, etc. scored higher?

Last album I remember that scored higher was Kanye's MBDTF 10/10.

And besides 10/10 albums a bunch of albums got 9.6-9.9

They gave Kanye a 10 for mbdtf

I think they gave Wilco a 10 too for Yankee, Hotel, Foxtrot

Kid A as well got 10

Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavillion got a 9.6.
