I remember when any album getting above 9.5 on Pitchfork, let alone a straight 10, would get Yas Forums going nuts about it for weeks on end. Why isn't it happening now?

because hating on one singular person is an easier idea to get behind compared to hating a website.

Yas Forums hates women duh

The audience changed. Most kids on Yas Forums are teenagers. That means this board is populated almost entirely by literal zoomers born in the 21st century. We're getting old, OP. This site isn't meant for us anymore.

Wait till Fagtano gives it a 10. The entire board will seethe.

because the incels of Yas Forums either can’t comprehend its message, or actively choose to ignore it.

Pitchfork gave Sam Hunt's album a 7.5 just a week or 2 ago.

To say nothing about all the embarrassing choices they've made in their year end Best Of lists over the last decade... just look at their 2010s decade list and you'll see what I mean.

The point is, they have no credibility anymore. Fetch the Bolt Cutters is an amazing album but p4k's score had no impact on that opinion.

Pitchfork's influence has waned since MBDTF. And not just for this board, there was a time when they'd make artists by giving their album a 9 or more. Now they miss the boat on upcoming stuff and slobber all over established pop stars. Now if Fantano gives it a 10...

Man...Fiona Apple huh. For all the stuff that has been propped up in the last 20 years, the only woman that Pitchfork threw out the 10 for, ended up being Fiona Apple. Seems a little anticlimactic.

why, because she's the best living singer?

No, cause she's fucking old. It's like admitting that the music industry of the last 20 years has failed to come up with a better talent than this old ass alternachick from the 90s.

I see where you're coming from. It's like if a new Bob Dylan album got a 10 in 1997.

No, it should've been a more prolific artist with social commentary aligned to my beliefs (which are the only correct ones) -- Solange, perhaps Beyonce, Pussy Riot.

MBDTF already had a ton of hype behind it after it leaked, and then the 10 consolidated that and everyone went crazy, plus it had meme potential.

because she's the best living singer
except she's only gotten better. more like scott walker

Time is irrelevant. Great music is great music. At this point I'm convinced that the people who care more about trends in music than music itself simply don't know how to judge the quality of what they're listening to.

Yeah, there are a lot of damn teenagers on this board. And a lot of grown ass young adults 18 - 25 that circlejerk the same top charting RYM/Mu-core albums.

Still, I don't get the hype behind Fiona Apple. But then again, pop music isn't my thing.

Because the album just isn't that great.

this board is filled with zoomers who think they're the only ones entitled to an opinion, and also hate women, which ironically is what the album is about: women's struggles.

No one is forcing you to listen to it, just don't and go on with your life.

You're right, user. But that will never matter to anyone. As our daily lives become more contrived, self-centered, and materialistic the social status of what you do will hold the greatest importance. Art is dead lmaooooo

pitchfork slid into irrelevance as they embraced poptimism, since apparently conde nast had no idea what earned pitchfork an audience to begin with

they're too busy fingering themselves on tiktok and watching someone else play a game to bother with us, user

1. They know, they're actively trying to replace that with the corporate friendly version
2. The new album is pretty artfag friendly, I don't think you can chalk it up to corporate involvement

Because it's shit.

Jk, it's okay. Gave it a 3.5 on RYM.

No offense but what exactly makes it a 10 ?

her sense of rhythm and the mixing desu

Because Pitchfork has ruined all of their credibility already

nobody gives a fuck about pitchfork anymore

i agree but it still seems like poor strategy to purchase a brand known for a thing, stop doing that thing, and switch it to another thing while hoping to maintain the audience. probably could've just split it into two sites, pitchfork classic and pitchfork pop but that's way too much vision to expect from the company that spent two decades running dozens of magazines into the ground

Fiona Apple isn't pop music

After all this talk about women not liking music, it turns out that men are the bigger plebs.

tenure, if you've been around long enough you're guarantee good ratings as you don't embarass yourself and top score if you're slightly above mediocre

>implying anyone could like music more than black women

when the pawn is certified platinum and a mistake received heavy play on mtv

okay that's cool but we're talking about her new album not her old stuff

p4k lost most credibility over the past decade so it makes sense for no one to care

I quite like Fiona's music but slapping a tenner on someone's record means that it is essential listening for any music fan, and this one doesn't fit that bill. Wrong move by p4k.

1) Pitchfork is irrelevant
2) Yas Forums is not very much into this music

i would say anyone that listens to music more than passively and doesn't stick to one genre exclusively should absolutely check this album out

And you're always shitting up threads with some milquetoast opinion and sniveling tone. Can we trade you for Montie?

Fuck that, this is the website that gave a 10 to this bullshit EP by a bullshit band no one's heard of. For a website like that to cater to the tastes of its perceived audience is tragic.

not as if 'the soft bulletin' is essential listening either tbf. at the end of the day a pitchfork review is just someone's opinion

That's the point you illiterate fucking retard. OP wants to know why Yas Forums isn't losing their mind for weeks on end over this album. It's because the album isn't all that remarkable and everybody has moved on already.
