Has any band ever made pitchfork seethe harder than this?

usually I don't judge music by the cover, but yikes...
Luke Sullivan
These guys are better than Oasis.
Hudson White
this was best review in the history of p4k
Chase Campbell
Trent Reznor got pretty close
>Ironically, a man hailed by his legion of testoster- drones as "genius" often leans heavily on the work of other, better sound wizards. Adrian Belew, Steve Albini, and Alan Moulder conspicuously leave their fingerprints all over The Fragile. In other words, whenever something sounds cool, it's most likely coming from one of these other men, who have worked on such mind- blowing classics like Talking Heads' Remain in Light, Slint's Spiderland, and My Bloody Valentine's Loveless, respectively. The constipated drone of "The Day the World Went Away" unabashedly attempts to mimic My Bloody Valentine's sculpted cacophony. Unfortunately, from the hands of an unsubtle goth, the result is strained fuzz.
Austin Peterson
One man produced a seething ten times as bad
Jose Williams
If Pitchfork hates it, it must be good.
Jayden Gonzalez
old pitchfork reviews were really bad. like this is just terrible criticism/writing.
Henry Nguyen
they gave this a 0.6, then listed it as one of the best albums of the 00s.
Josiah Wright
Pitchfork was already shit before Condé Nast and poptimism.
Joshua Diaz
you can tell this dude got BTFO in some random thread by some NIN fan and then went on to write a review
Grayson Flores
Mars Volta, Joan of Arc, and Flaming Lips to me have the most egregiously badly written reviews. It's fine to not like something that I like, no problem. But when the writing is so fucking bad that's when it pisses me off.
Hardly discusses the actual music on the album, just horrible review. It's sarcastic and stupid.

Again a total dismissal of experimental music on the basis of it being experimental. Snarky, and makes jokes about Tim Kinsella's mental state when regarding his lyrics he should be "reading the label's on his prescription drugs" which is just abominable writing. The review is basically "I don't get it so it's bad." It's not even my favorite release of theirs, it's just an offensively bad review.

Pitchfork wiped the 0/10 Zaireeka review and wrote something that's in favor of it, but from what I recall it got a zero because of the experimental nature of how you listen to it.
Josiah Ramirez
This reeks of Brent
Liam Nelson
Most of the early Pitchfork staff were angry virgin indie nerds so you're probably right.
Jack Fisher
holy seethe
Nathaniel Hill
Has Pitchfork ever been more based than in this moment? Was it their peak?

>3:20am: "Starfuckers, Inc." That's pretty much all I have to say in criticism of this album. That sums it right up. Do you or don't you want to own an album with a song called "Starfuckers, Inc?" Besides the snickering potty- mouthed title, it's one of the most blatantly hypocritical attacks ever put to tape. It's a widely- publicized attack on Marilyn Manson. There are several lyrical references to the gangly idiot such as "I'm one of the beautiful ones" and "My god pouts on the cover of a magazine." And how are these jabs delivered? Why, in a song which sounds exactly like Marilyn Manson (and also borrows from Carly Simon), by a man who pouts on the cover of Rolling Stone, Alternative Press, Spin, etc.
>In essence, Reznor is Marilyn Manson without the makeup (which is a bit like Kiss without the makeup). The Fragile is simply Music for 'The Elder for the digital age. I take comfort knowing that the passing of another decade will make this record seem as amusingly insincere as 10CC.
>And at this point, I'm angry, hungry, and frustrated. In fact, I feel like kinda like Trent Reznor. Is this the grand design? After over two hours of listening to his incessant whining and grating, I've become the very model of his audience.
Jackson Lopez
dude seriously needs to get laid

kek, how wrong he was
Asher Miller
I'm giving this post a 0 out of 10. Needs more Philip Rivers images.

Jet were a decent garage rock revival band, but hipster journalists decided they didn't like the style anymore, so they took it out on Jet. In the UK they did the same thing to a band called The Enemy. Neither of these are amazing bands, but they were both fine, so it was literally just "journalist" retards sperging out.
Jason Adams
I never gave a single shit for PissDork cr*tics opinions. Ever.
Ian Lopez
>The Enemy
They were fucking awful, they literally had songs shamelessly ripping off Common People and London Calling
