Pitchfork is officially ridiculous to me as of 2011.
The latest das Racist in the 6′s??
The latest Pink Skull album a 5.2??
It is so obvious that their motivation is indie-cred, and I am not gonna go into detail regarding how their journalists write reviews with a thesaurus strapped to their chest and this desperate need to name-drop an obscure band/musician that resembles/influences the album being reviewed within the first 2-3 paragraphs.
I have discovered quite a few groups in my time wading through that website, but they are the epitome of snobs; the type of people I can take a recommendation or two from but I would never want to have a beer with them, much less get into a discussion about “tunes.”
