haha i'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but save ferris was just a really forgettable punk/ska band from the mid 90's. it's like, the last thing in the world pitchfork would review these days, but they actually did give it a fucking 9.5 ages and ages ago. i've always thought that was funny.

Looked up that review...

"If you're lucky, really lucky in life, you might be able to occasionally catch sight of a band that has reached their perfect groove. It's when they're tight and unified, playing music for the sheer fun and love of it, far before the cynicism sets in."

Hahahahahahaha...Pitchfork has changed so much. The cynicism has definitely set in.

i had no idea who they were. wiki'd them after making that post and was like, "damn, i didn't know eddie liked the band that sang 'come on eileen' so much." i didn't realize it was a joke post. sry bro.

[caribou]

was like, "damn, i didn't know eddie liked the band that sang 'come on eileen' so much" i didn't realize it was a joke post.was...that a joke post?

[bmac]

you just offended dexy and possibly even the midnight runners

[billi vanilli]

i accidentally left the period out after the word "much." i didn't realize that his post, the one in which he posted the save ferris album cover, was a joke.

[caribou]

haha, i like you too much to use carl.jpg

[Slack Motherfucker]

billy, "come on eileen" was originally by dexy midnight runners, a band from the 80s who have some cred (though I haven't listened to much of their work). Save Ferris was one of those crappy pop-punk/ska bands whose only hit was a cover of a song from the 80s.

I don't know what my favourite album from the last decade is but I know a long time ago they gave my favourite album of all time, Pet Sounds, a 7.5. The author said he'd rather listen to Loveless or OK Computer. "this style of straight- forward pop music, despite its appeal on an instinctual level, has become passe and cliched"

[Josh C]

there's something about this i find hilarious

[fritz]

haha. didn't they re-review nmh and give it a 10 after giving it like an 8 or something, just to be on the same page with their audience or some shit. negates the whole point of reviewing music if you're gonna go "oh everyone else thinks this is a milestone let's fix it". so gay

i guess it could've been a reissue but whatever

[jase]

Yeah it was a re-issue. I think they originally gave it 8.7

Dicks

[Slack Motherfucker]

there's something about this i find hilarious

ya I didn't really know how to articulate that they were more than just a one hit wonder of the 80s without really knowing myself the extent of their contribution to music beyond "come on eileen" other than knowing that it was something.

[fritz]

don't know why it bothers me so much but i would respect them more if they just left it at 8.7. i think they've done this a few times

aaaaaand the topic is now bitching about p4k. my fault

holy shit. i made myself look like an idiot twice in my own thread. not a good night for me i guess

that's kind of the point of the thread fritz. although i like pitchfork more than most of the people here, their reviews are fairly wonky a lot of the time. the fact that they gave the coast is never clear a 6.7 or whatever blows my mind.

[fritz]

i guess. except for the people who got lucky 10's. there's lots of threads full of p4k bitching though. i mean sure they're pretty retarded but their news section is pretty useful to me

actually my fav album wasn't reviewed by p4k :(

[caribou]

yeah, two of my favorites (pistolero by frank black and routine by don lennon) were never reviewed

though this was

edit: i just read the pet sounds review for the first time, hahaha

[Sloppy Jimbo IV]

i cant answer this thread topic because pitchfork never actually gave my favorite album a score. just a video of a monkey peeing in its own mouth

[jase]

I wonder what they'd give that video out of 10

I personally give it at least a 7.8

[Sloppy Jimbo IV]

i sent pitchfork an email regarding that very quesion a month ago and their reply was another (different) monkey peeing in its own mouth

after laughing heartily i cancelled my subscription immediately

[jase]

What I wonder is where they're getting these videos from? Is there some kind of monkey peeing in mouth site I don't know about? I wanna join one

[Sloppy Jimbo IV]

yeah theres a site. the admin is r kelly. he started it after pitchfork gave his last album a youtube of a monkey peeing in r kelly's mouth

I can't see half of these images

[davistradamus]

in response to fritz's frustration with the changing of the score: i really dont see a problem with re-evaluating a piece of music several years down the line to see how it has stood the test of time, and also to see what, if any, impact it has left on music or culture. I think pitchfork, or any reviewer, could rightly revise their review in light of what aeroplane has become and give it a higher score.

[fritz]

i just think they were trying to cover their asses
