They’ve had some misses but be honest people Pitchfork is awesome. A good review from Pitchfork carries serious weight.

Not only is this album a legit 0.5/10, it also has the most pretentious fans. He gave it a 10.

A TEN.

It's like an ex girlfriend left you for that record. 10 is appropriate for an album like that.

Did y'all see this though?

I mean ja they have a lot of influence but I'm not particularly concerned with their reviews either way.

Pitchfork holds sway with me and influences my listening.

- p4k is fine but their rating styles are bizarre (any metal album reviewed that isn't Deafheaven falls into the 7.6-8.2 range no matter what). the one review off the top of my head that I remember being obnoxious is for a Tool album I think where they wrote a glowing review from the perspective of a high schooler and then gave it a ~1

- Disintegration Loops is certainly a treasure cmon goof

Maybe they retroactively changed the rating without updating the review? They change their stance on old stuff to reflect the album's reception all the time.

No because they are good. The pretentious comment was a side note.
