Polgg48 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) make me think that if she sings in spanish this would be 9.5 because they think its edgy, yet complete ignore storyline and complain about less upbeat bops. i-- off topic: The smile album is just good but its considered as fun creative project for them, mid album if you are not realized as radiohead side project. no way its better than kendrick florence ethel kevin morby and on par with the black keys one. they are definitely on to something this week.

Touch It Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I wouldn’t be mad if the score was justified, but it seems like they put no effort into reviewing this album. They didn’t dig deep into the meaning/storyline at all, didn’t even say the correct duration of the album, and whined about the songs not being as pop as American Teenager. If you want to listen to pop, review pop albums instead of this work. It’s just a very unprofessional review and the album deserved to be viewed from a different deeper perspective.

perpetual novice Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Yeah Pitchfork missed the mark on this one. American Teenager is the only song on the album I don't really vibe with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
State of Grace. Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 What a lazy review and horrible score. They really were like "everyone thinks we'll stan hard for this one so lets trash it". There's no way Inbred (with all of its excellence) gets 1.2 more than Preacher's Daughter. American Teenager is fantastic but it's the album bop and there was no need for more songs like that. They didn't even bother with the other song and basically said "Lana did it before". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perpetual novice Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I'm not necessarily mad that she got the score, I'm more mad at how lazy the review is. Pitchfork shine when they dive deep into an album and pick it apart, regardless of if it's praise or criticism, none of that happened here, it's a lazy unresearched first impression. Stuff like this hurts for rising artists, Ethel's corner of music relies really heavily on press and praise to build a fanbase and stuff like this cuts away huge potential audience. Pitchfork have been giving her a lot of positive attention so I have no idea what happened here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know how pretentious and annoying they are (especially as a Lana stan myself) but Ethel could really benefit from new listeners and fans and they just trashed this album after praising her and her EP before. Like now they wanna complain about the album being too long and not POP enough????? Also I screamed at this tweet nn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellenthin Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 They're utter trash. Can't believe they're a respected publication the way the keep giving AMAZING projects low scores. They just want to be edgy and that's about it. And the Peppa album getting a 6.5 says everything you need to know about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS!! Florence snapped with her new album, and I listened to the Kevin album last night and his voice and songs are as pretty as ever... the The Smile album is good, but it's very much giving In Rainbows b-sides lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 They’ve been writing articles about her constantly since Michelle Pfeiffer released as if she was P4K’s new darling, yet they drop that horses**t review There was no substance to it. They mentioned two songs, nothing about the overarching theme, then threw in the lazy Lana and Taylor comparisons. Braindead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Lana is a reach for me, because sonically it sounds nothing like her. Yes, they are completely braindead.
