The Most Pretentious Album Review Ever!

Tyler Durden · 09-27-2008, 03:25 PM

what does this Brent DiCrescenzo guy take when writing his reviews?
I read the kid a one after this and he was rambling on and I could only understand every other word lol

That must have been some acid trip.

Seltzer · 09-27-2008, 10:42 PM

That was friggen appalling.

I have to say though, it sparked my interest.

That was worse than actually listening to the album.

The Sunn O))) White1 review is alot worse.

I thought it was hilarious. It seemed pretty obviously meant to be over-the-top, not serious writing (and yes, I'm familiar with both Pitchfork's reviews and DiCrescenzo's writing). I didn't read every word (even for something meant to be crazily elaborate, it was far too long) but the concept was absurd and funny.
