lumpenprol Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 god that is terrible lol Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide lumpenprol's signature Hide all signatures After this I listened to geogaddi and I didn't like it, I was quite vomitting at some tracks, I realized they were too crazy for my ears, they took too much acid to play music I stupidly thought (cliché of psyché music) But I knew this album was a kind of big forest where I just wasn't able to go inside. - lost cloud I was in US tjis summer, and eat in KFC. FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work! So i hope this woman is not like kfc chicken, otherwise she'll be pulled to pieces. -organized confused project Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/54562-pitchfork-review-oversteps/#findComment-1276232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blir Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I'm getting sick of this fucking shit. What is it with these lazy reviews these days where they just describe the sounds they heard? As if someone will read the words "grandiose synths" and decide to buy the album. All I could gauge from that four paragraph piece of shit is that the album is sort of different and nicer sounding than previous efforts... Well fucking done Patrick Sisson! You've summed up on a page what a blogger could sum up in a sentence then tacked a number at the bottom as if you ever actually justified the score. Not that the score bothers me of course, but where did he actually criticize the album? 7.2? Why? Were there too many clattering and colliding rhythms, or not enough? Was there TOO MUCH reverb on see on see? I know that reviews are just a subjective opinion of course, but there is literally no opinion here. It's not even that hard to criticize music if you've actually listened to the album and formed an opinion, but judging by the fact that he says theres twenty seconds of silence at the beginning of r ess implies he's whacked it on in the background instead of giving it a proper listen on headphones (which I think is the best way to hear AE). I hope he's not paid to review because he fucking sucks.

I like when he ripped on pt2ph8 and then said nothing about other than basically saying "I didn't care for it," and even then I'm getting that from his implication. He said nothing bad actually about it. What a shoddy review. =\ Can we make a stomping braindance footbrain to send to this guy's skull?

homecharlie Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Terrible review. The onion article is good, but I think the Something Awful parody page is funnier. It pretty accurately hits on pitchfork's unwavering love of radiohead: "Discovering a new Radiohead release is like staring into the eyes of Jesus Christ and feeling the eternal stream of love and awe that flows from Him. I might be so bold as to claim that Radiohead is the Jesus Christ of music... Putting this disc into your stereo and listening to it is like having the saints pee liquid gold into your ears."

kaini Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) it's nice to see the twitter/12hr autechre stream thing mentioned. i know a lot of watmm hate twitter, but i was keeping a constant eye on #autechre through it and tweeting the odd time, it actually felt to me like the first time twitter had a use or reason to exist. and it was pretty fun. actually i think that's the watmm spreadsheet they mention, lol. i stuck that on twitter too and it got retweeted lots. looks like pitchfork monitor #autechre on twitter, i guess. Quote almost organic compared to something like Confield album comparison fail.
