These fine gentlemen completely missed the point of Pitchfork. Artists are rated on three things: obscurity, pretentiousness, and how much they sound like Radiohead.The quality of the music and the skill of the artist in question DOES NOT factor into the review process at all, and in fact points can be taken away for this. Points are also taken away for "selling out" by being heard on a commercial, having albums available at stores, or being featured on NPR.
@archivian ... But Joanna Newsom is an accomplished harpist, pianist, and harpsichordist, and is a fine lyricist. Just admit that you don't like P4k because they don't like your music.
You guys are great. Finally, critics I agree with. Perhaps you should find some strictly instrumental records (CDs) to listen to. Seems all the singing shit sucks!!!
they were going to do only skin, but the length was off-putting. as well as the squeak before her first word.

I agree with these men, Pitchfork sucks.
But they clearly don't have even the slightest understanding of indie music either.

I love Joanna Newsom. haha. I used to have a thing against Pitchfork because of some ridiculous reviews but most of the time, they're spot-on.
This is funny though.

AHahah, so true!
Really, I kind of joined the crusade against Pitchfork after their obscene reviews of both Peter Gabriel's and Kate Bush's new albums.

@archivian This would only be true if they didn't just award the first ten in eight years to Kanye West's new album.
