All this shilling

If you think this album is shit you just have awful taste, sorry. Not thinking it's a 10 is whatever, but it's clearly good.

Even if you ignore the fact that Pitchfork is much less relevant now -- MBDTF actually sounded like a momentous decade defining album, this is just "pretty good" throwback chamber pop.

>MBDTF actually sounded like a momentous decade defining album
Really, I always thought Graduation was the decade defining album for hip hop, especially because of the feud between the rap style of 50 Cent and Kanye West.

Hey, at least you got some people to listen to them, which most shillposters are never able to do.

>none of the child newfriends like this album
Seems like a good thing to me

This album is better than MBDTF

>album is only liked by almost menopausical wine aunts and old onions boomers
Like pottery.

zoomers couldn't possible get this album (and thats a good thing)
us based boomers get to enjoy this even more

No just people who aren't literally underage

Yeah that makes sense. Also there was a narrative that you could follow with mbdtf with Kanye and then he actually rises above expectations . With Fiona she just released another album that’s the same quality as the rest of her work and pitchfork decided to give it a ten because she’s a woman and try to recover waning relevance

what could lead you to this opinion. What relevance could they gain by giving a 10 to a middle age chamber pop artist whose already critically acclaimed,

Not him but I think they really wanted to give a female artist a 10, before this point they'd only given them to white men and one black man.

all of her stuff rates highly, giving an artist that's been critically acclaimed their entire career a good score would be a terrible way to get attention. most of their reviews of her are 9+, one that's similar quality to the rest of her work getting a slightly higher score isn't shocking.
giving it a shit score would be a much better way to get clicks or be seen as controversial or whatever you think is going on

This is better than her previous 9/10 work, a 10 makes sense

They could have gave it 9 or something. They gave it a 10 to make it stand out and giving it to an already acclaimed artists that a woman that’s been around for decades just lessens the risk of being completely wrong

Yeah your posting in bad faith if you think it would cross pitchforks mind to give a woman a bad score for any reason, just look at their Taylor Swift coverage since reputation

If you think it was mainly for attention, why would they choose a safe pick to give a 10 instead of giving a really controversial one a 9.5 or some shit? They thought it was slightly better than the rest of her work, so rated it slightly higher, there's no need to come up with dumb conspiracies.
Giving a high score to an album that's probably going to get high scores everywhere wouldn't be a good way to stand out

A 10 from pitchfork is going to stand out no matter what. Do you know the last album that got a 10 from them?

no one shills their music on Yas Forums this board has no influential power

The last 10 review was 12 days ago, though it was a review of an older album. I don't know when the last non-classic 10 review was, but I don't know when the last album I'd call a 10 was either. I don't think I'd give this a 10 personally, but I mean in general. It's definitely going to stand out, but it's not going to bring them any more attention than other places that don't give perfect scores out much, and it's not unexpected they'd give her close to 10 at the very least.
