I know.
And for a casual fan whatever. Even for a pop music critic whatever (plus a sigh). But for a publication of professional critics to put a numerical value on it that is higher than how they scored Attica Blues
https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums...-attica-blues/ just makes them look ignorant. They could save themselves that embarrassment by simply not having the audacity to put a number on anything by Archie Shepp, which would also signal to me that they know how to stay in their ****ing lane.
They do excellent and informative write ups on jazz records and I respect that but they’re not serious jazz
critics. They should respect their limitations.
