and he's got a point, you know. it wasn't until 2004/5 that ITAOTS actually saw any hype at all, curated courtesy of the fuckers Pissfork and co. (who re-evaluated the album and summarily deleted the original review). manufactured hype with the expense of irresponsible journalism.

I've never listened Oracular Spectacular, so I couldn't tell you. Yeah Aeroplane is overhyped, but it was a fairly unknown indie album. Without Pitchfork, the album wouldn't have reached the ears of many of its fans. Do you really think every person that likes Aeroplane likes it simply because Pitchfork hyped it? Do you really think that many people even read online music reviews? I have 3 or 4 friends that like it and I would guarantee that none of them have ever even heard of pitchfork.
