Hey Louder...
Thought of you a bit ago when I read Pitchfork's unfairly scathing review of Starboy. They gave it a 6.something, but reviewed it like a 3 or 4.
They also included the following, non-landing joke in their "Year in Disappointment 2016" feature:

I read this and puzzled over whether it meant that the album was a SWISH! (perfect shot) or a "swish" (nothing but net because the hoop was missed completely). I decided the latter was true, given the current public attitude toward Kanye, and that means they've done a total 180° reversal on an album that they rated a 9.0 and for which they designated all of its early singles as "Best New Track." Lame.
So when this or something like it happens (say, when they crap all over an album you love) you should write to
corrections@pitchfork.com, or
www@pitchfork.com.
I am going to start reporting every error I see just for fun. Because yes, I read a thing or two every day on the site, but I hate it so so much, and they fuck up a lot.
By all rights there should be a way to send the dumbass e-edition equivalent of a "letter to the editor," but there's not. So do this instead.
