low! I think they were exactly right!

The portion about the Bey song is not too nice!

Playboi Carti’s new vocal trick (sounding like he has bronchitis)

Quote

SZA is here, too, sounding good and sounding like she’s collecting a check.

Quote

On “Delresto (Echoes),” the shimmering and buffering noise gets topped with Beyoncé’s wails. Never mind that she’s going through the motions like Robert Downey Jr.’s guest appearances in minor Marvel movies.

So it’s not even surprising that “K-Pop” exists, a diabolically stupid plan to create the most popular song in the world.

The features were not safe 

They really went in on this 

 

At least some reviewers still have brutal honest opinions but I wish they kept this same energy for pop music instead of kissing artists asses. They can get away with this for hip/hop because rap fans don’t care about reviewers opinions.

Can’t agree more with P4K here

The bar for him as a rapper is already low; he’s here for the vibes, not the skill, and that’s fine.

Astroworld…she was definitely the better album.

 

Like this album rating, I only liked 5 songs off Utopia

Good for them, but it’s smashing, so their opinion remains irrelevant and meaningless. 

Way too high and the features deserve to get fried too for their association with this piece of garbage (applies to both the release and releaser…)

Right. It's like they go in only with the ones stan world think it's acceptable to tear down / don't care about 

They're right this album just sounds like he wanted a Yeezus 

Deserves a negative score.

Too generous. Deserves 1.0

I can’t bring myself to listen, but I’m sure it deserves lower! 

deserves 1.7

I like the album, but they didn't lie. He's easily the least interesting part of it. The moment the production falters or the features don't deliver, the album hits its low points.

 

They lied about Delresto tho, it slaps.

It was definitely better than a 5.7, come on now. sometimes they are too harsh for specific artists

They only go in on who they perceive the internet doesn’t like. Wish they kept it more real.

 

But yes Utopia is awful and I expected a lower score ngl

Well we know what happened the last time they did that *cough* *cough* Folklore *cough*

I guess I am gonna listen to it now, because Pitchfork as of late has been sometimes wrong in their scoring.

Suspect review tbh but the albums production carried it so the score is right

It’s cool to hate them tho. Pitchfork even  had that whole article with the title that ed was finally useful cause he won that lawsuit and Kim gets dragged all the time for the dr puke connection
