taxidermist 10.22.11	Weird seeing Jane Doe ranked as the lowest since it's their highest praised album.
Relinquished 10.22.11	they have more albums than this pitchfork can't count
sniper 10.22.11	their jane doe review is terrible...
anarchistfish 10.22.11	lmao
taxidermist 10.22.11	Yeah, I don't care much for Pitchfork, but ran across a link to a review while looking for merch.
sniper 10.22.11	actually their reviews for all of these albums are terrible. p4k sucks at heavy music
taxidermist 10.22.11	I'll read 'em right now.
WashboardSuds 10.22.11	I always thought their rating system was weird
KILL5 10.22.11	gay band yea
anarchistfish 10.22.11	I don't know how music ratings can be that precise
taxidermist 10.22.11	Jane Doe review sucked ass.
auberginedreams 10.22.11	yeah, like how do you distinguish between a 7.6 and a 7.7? I always thought that was weird.
taxidermist 10.22.11	'Hmmm, I want to say 8, but it's not quite there. 7.9 will do.'
Keyblade 10.22.11	Pitchfork's review for Perdition City was hilarious. That's the first thing that comes to mind when i think Pitchfork.
Satellite 10.22.11	* four individual p4k reviewers review four converge albums
anarchistfish 10.22.11	another thing, I can't remember what websites do this but, I hate it when they rate albums based on several categories. I.e., the overall score is out of 100% and there are 10 categories with 10 points to give each. you can't fit music into criteria like that. what if an album has nothing in one category but that's because it's pushing boundaries elsewhere and overall it doesn't matter, and it makes it a more original and better album in the end? for example, lyrics.
Trebor. 10.22.11	It's weird when they give an album a 9.9 Just give it a fucking 10 you pretentious hipsters
taxidermist 10.22.11	IT'S FUCKING .1!
WashboardSuds 10.22.11	"Jane Doe will kick your ass repeatedly until it leaves its long imprint in your flabby buttflesh."
Duderino 10.22.11	they rated a marnie stern album higher than jane doe
Satellite 10.22.11	http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/390/Oasis-%28Whats-The-Story%29-Morning-Glory/ http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/2081/The-Beatles-The-Beatles/ gaiz look sputnikmusic rated an oasis album higher than the white album derrrrrr hangs self
taxidermist 10.22.11	Not overall rating though :p
Satellite 10.22.11	yeah, but my point is that--like on p4k--it's just one dude's opinion, so attributing that opinion to the site as a whole is sorta fucked. btw i have that same sweater. looks better on you taxi.
sniper 10.22.11	i think the reason they have such "precise" ratings is because the ratings are based on the opinions of the whole staff, not just the individual reviewer.
taxidermist 10.22.11	I see where you're coming from, Satty. And thanks for the compliment ;) Awesome sweater. Prob gonna buy a new one since I'm losing a bit of weight and that sweater/jeans look baggier now.
taxidermist 10.22.11	@Sniper That makes a lot more sense.
sniper 10.22.11	can't find where i heard that though i'm pretty sure its true. they like all agree on a rating, which is weird.
PistolPete 10.22.11	yeah...wrong
ThePrisonGuard 10.22.11	I've never liked Pitchfork.
EyesWideShut 10.22.11	its funny when a p4k review for "heavy" album comes out its from the hipster prospective. they also seem to love Trash Talk and OFF!.
JWT155 10.22.11	I tend to believe pitchfork gives later albums by popular bands higher ratings to kinda say they fucked up initially in rating their older "classic" albums.
Trebor. 10.22.11	I tend to believe pitchfork gives later albums by popular bands higher ratings to kinda say they fucked up initially in rating their older "classic" albums. Rolling Stone are the kings of this They change their minds on albums once they're considered classic
sniper 10.22.11	the thing that irks me about these reviews is that the writers clearly have no sense whatsoever of what context converge fits into. comparing them to metallica and black flag is pretty fucking off-base.
FromDaHood 10.22.11	Converge ranks Pitchfork: Not m/
taxidermist 10.22.11	P4k isn't m/
Electric City 10.22.11	the pitchfork review of axe to fall is total shit
sniper 10.22.11	read the jane doe one.
Trebor. 10.22.11	shitfork bitchfork
EyesWideShut 10.22.11	p4k already started to "understand" hardcore music. cant wait for Immolation and No So Vile reviews to come out.
DoubtGin 10.22.11	pretty good ratings
Acanthus 10.22.11	They've got an interesting review for 4 style-wise.
someguest 10.22.11	The one thing the ratings do show is how consistent the band happens to be, which is true, and it's pretty noteworthy that they noticed it. You guys need to chill.
botb 10.22.11	derp
Maniac! 10.22.11	3 should be 1
pcar 10.22.11	pitchfork... http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/reviews/albums/15663-sorry-4-the-wait/ 7.1 http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/reviews/albums/5118-frances-the-mute/ 2 yup
sniper 10.22.11	i honestly could not care less what the actual ratings they gave are someguest, def no reason to get butthurt over what are overall positive ratings. the thing is, the reviews are terrible.
americanohno 10.22.11	yh the pitchfork guys need to get themselves a "heavy music specialist" like theavclub (which is a similarly indie-heavy site, although much better than p4k) did so they don't look foolish when they review metal/hxc/etc.
sniper 10.22.11	exactly. their punk and metal reviews are often embarrassingly short-sighted. only really good one i've seen was for the blood brothers piano island
taxidermist 10.22.11	"http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/reviews/albums/5118-frances-the-mute/ 2" RAGERAGERAGE Nah, I don't give a fuck what they say tbh. My opinion is all that matters :p
porch 10.23.11	a few dopey lines but the axe to fall review is okay
wabbit 10.23.11	ya but Mars Volta actually sucks really hard
taxidermist 10.23.11	2 deep 4 u
sniper 10.23.11	i un-5'd ftm the other day
Spare 10.23.11	they've got this backwards
foxblood 10.23.11	pitchfork doesn't know how to m/ quote from their ashes against the grain review:"I've used the word "metal" a few times, but don't let that scare you off."
taxidermist 10.23.11	"i un-5'd ftm the other day" :O You've had it 5'd since I joined the site. RIP 5.
spillingmercury 10.23.11	quote from their ashes against the grain review:"I've used the word "metal" a few times, but don't let that scare you off." lol'd really hard. Going to go look this shit up now.
sniper 10.23.11	i have it at a 4.5 still but i really can't justify a 5 when i never spin it anymore. changed my life though.
taxidermist 10.23.11	I don't spin it as much as I used to, but I'll keep it as a 5 since I can still go back to it from time to time and enjoy it a fuck load.
someguest 10.23.11	deloused is a better album frances has too many ambient parts that go nowhere
struth 10.23.11	yeah we get it p4k are idiots.
someguest 10.23.11	the users of this website go there and the users of that website go here the name calling is stupid
taxidermist 10.23.11	"deloused is a better album" I disagree. De-loused is still amazing, though.
Ire 10.23.11	"yeah, but my point is that--like on p4k--it's just one dude's opinion, so attributing that opinion to the site as a whole is sorta fucked." Thank you. list is full of derp
Satellite 10.23.11	fuck off i mean thx
Ire 10.23.11	: )
qwe3 10.23.11	jane doe should be 1st and no heroes 2nd but yeah alright

sniper 10.23.11	"yeah, but my point is that--like on p4k--it's just one dude's opinion, so attributing that opinion to the site as a whole is sorta fucked." guys: “Over and over we revisit decisions before they’re on the site,” said Scott Plagenhoef, the editor in chief. Albums are discussed via e-mail and on a staff message board. The review is then assigned to a writer trusted to deliver the group’s opinion. Reviews have individual bylines, but they represent the Pitchfork hive-mind.
YetAnotherBrick 10.29.11	lmfao
owen 01.10.12	I actually prefer Axe To Fall and You Fail Me to Jane Doe. Don't kill me :)
