But I guess that ain't hard...

pitchfork did a review?

Yeah, Pitchfork did their predictable if-it-ain't-obscure-then-it-ain't-hip diatribe that Darkstar posted a while ago. It generated quite a few rebuttals here.

This review isn't that bad. It's actually quite positive in that it seems to respect the Chemical formula rather than blast it like so many other reviews did. And even though I disagree with what was said about Salmon Dance, I did get chuckle out of the Steven Hawking as Sammy bit.

I learned long ago to ignore anything Pitchfork says...

I like how they think the klaxons were females.

By better do you mean they haven't crushed it as much and that you actually agree with it!

To be fair, it pains me when people slag the Salmon off - I fucking love that tune.

So we are now making new threads for every goddamn 'negative' or 'slightly positive' review out there, while we have a perfectly good threads for this already?? Just put 'm in there, jesus.

Edit: I should've known this was a newb-topic. Learn to use the 'search' newb.

Edit Edit: I forgot there isn't a 'search' on this stupid-ass forum. *sigh*

Lol, look at who the newb is now :twisted:

Rats. Why isn't this visible then?

Pitchfork reviews seem to come up every now and then on this board. Glako found an interesting link a few years back of a project where some thousand Pitchfork reviews were analyzed with data-mining techniques. The goal was to find the 'features' that were given positive associations by Pitchfork and to generate new musical compositions which would be most likely to get a 'good' review from Pitchfork.

We have a thread for it:
