Somehow I doubt you would've made a video response to a positive pitchfork review.

[mortonbairdiii]

i thought it was funny. that's why i did it.

[redsatyr]

you guys are such crybabies. i don't care what pitchfork says, your music sucks. and quit crying about your free publicity. you want people to review your albums, don't you? "waaah! a reviewer didn't like our music!" cry more, noobs. lots of album reviews are negative, but bands usually just ignore them instead of crying like emo kids.

[mortonbairdiii]

the point of the video was not to cry about the bad review but to laugh about it.

[deadaluspark]

yeah, because no one ever writes mean reviews because albums actually suck. its just total spite.

oh wait.

no, sound teams album its a fucking pile of shit. i found that out the hard way by downloading it instead of reading a review on pitchfork.

good thing i hated it and deleted it.

im glad i didnt spend any fucking money on that worthless shit. because most records stores dont let you return albums because they are piles of shit.

[mortonbairdiii]

well, if you bought a "pile of shit," sorry bout that. we'll put a special sticker on our future releases.

Fuck pitchfork.

Bitchfork is to indie music as ESPN is to sports. Both were once relevant, irreverent, and smart. Now, both are self-serious brands with no passion for the very pursuits - sports and music - on which they were founded.

No one watches Chris Berman for sports information anymore - people now watch to see how oblivious he is to the caricature he has become. And no one reads Bitchfork for meaningful music criticism - people now read it to chuckle at the bloviations of writers who are ignorant of

[IshzillaKazim]

@riethc another axample: Pitchfork will delightedly hype up a horrible obscure artist, and totally smash a decent one....what they are trying to do is be the arbiters of taste, and control who makes it and who dosent

[riethc]

@IshzillaKazim The music industry in general has a ("not-so") hidden agenda. One example: MTV has been and continues to promote Satanism.

[IshzillaKazim]

@riethc your right about that, but it seems the writers at pitchfork have a sort of hidden agenda, those bastards might be taking payola!!!! or you know it's internet-music equivalent...

[TheCombatFetus]

I don't care what Pitchfork says. This album is excellent, one of my favorites of all time. They give such great scores to shitty albums and others, it's just ridiculous. People should listen to music for themselves, not because someone else tells them that an album is "good".

I really wish they would have stayed together.. :(

[Wwhackk]

Pitchfork's writers are just loser fucking hipsters that think they control the 'indie scene.'

[MrActionproductions]

I wish I lived near a cliff like that....

[Karpify]

My biggest pet peeves about reviews by Pitchfork are that they seem to hold misguided grudges and also that they sometimes give positive feedback but a dismal score. They hated Sound Team because they had tangible, recognizable influences. God forbid. They disliked that THEY got to open for their fan boy Arcade Fire. Pitchfork tries to promote the music of the underground, but all they end up doing is destroying all that makes it good. Thank you, ST, for all your greatness.

I give Pitchfork 1.2/10

[riethc]

Thanks. It was something I had to get off my chest. I could probably write more but I'm satisfied with my Pitchfork Media bashing... for the moment. ;)
