Why bastards? Everyone's got a right for an opinion.

Many Pitchfork verdicts are questionable (notably 0.0 for NYCGF) but hey, it's just what them guys think.

damn, now i'm not going to listen to it.

Inhuman 12.11.2006 01:11 PM

Well, you know how pitchfork's always right. Not worth your money if it's a 7.2. Go out and listen to Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain, they gave it a 10, therefore one of the best albums ever put out.

not.

HaydenAsche 12.11.2006 01:13 PM

I probably would've given it a 0.0.

_slavo_ 12.11.2006 02:18 PM

I'm always wondering how they could've given 10.00 to American Water by Silver Jews??????

I mean, come on.

Well it is basically an outtake record, you wouldn't expect it to measure up to a 'real' album. It really shouldn't be judged in the same way either. I think Pitchfork has been pretty fair

fluxequalsrad 12.11.2006 02:29 PM

its a favourable review...read the writing not the number.

Grandaddy got 6.7 or sometihng on Fambly Cat but it had a very favourable review. I don't think any b-sides collection has ever gotten over 8.0 anyway.

They talk about Washing Machine at the end and how it would be cool if there was a deluxe version....*drools*

No, I do. They've just gotten old and bland. I also hate rarities cds.

Actually since listening to 'The Destroyed Room' a few times, i'm inclined to agree with your 0.0 score.

They did? Silver Jews are one awesome band, and Smith and Jones is one of my all time favorites, but American Water doesn't compare to Bright Flight or Natural Bridge

This seemed like a very even handed review. And a 7.2 is a positive rating.

val-holla-ing 12.11.2006 03:50 PM

at least the guy talked about the actual record instead of talking about which shoe he put on first this morning.

That's what i was thinking. Also, im kidding. i really couldn't care less who reviews what with how many thumbs or stars.

I neeeeeeeedtoSLEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPpppp

whorefrost 12.11.2006 08:24 PM

pitchfork gave a Trail of Dead album 10.0 for chrissake so their opinion is automatically invalid

whorefrost 12.11.2006 08:30 PM

although I just checked out that destroyed room review and it's actually quite well considered... B+

I think it's a pretty good album myself, I just don't think it deserves a 10. I wouldn't be able to name a single album that I would give a 10; every album has a weakness somewhere IMO! It's all subjective really.
