Gui Blackout Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Just now, Gerardo said: Does this mean no more pitchfork reviews at all? Or will they just re-brand and have less staff critics? Will it be GQ critic reviews? I'm guessing it will just be folded into a "Music" section at GQ. The Pitchfork brand is over
Park Jinyoung Posted January 17 Posted January 17 I’m glad they are going on a high though (giving music for airports a retrospective 10) 1

vale9001 Posted January 17 Posted January 17 (edited) They gave to albums votes like 6.7 and not 6.8. I will miss their aspergic asses. Edited January 17 by vale9001 1
Suilen Posted January 17 Posted January 17 The ex-writers should just set up a successor at this point. 1 1
Sombre Posted January 17 Posted January 17 How much was Pitchfork costing CN for them to have to do this? Stupid decision.

wish Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Whoa Pitchfork might have lost a lot of credibility over the years, but I never imagined them fully closing/merging like this. Sad.
KatyPrismSpirit Posted January 17 Posted January 17 (edited) Pitchfork was only reliant on advertising revenue and an annual festival. They didnt have paid subscription plans and also dont have hard copy editions with covers. I think not having this was always kinda dumb Edited January 17 by KatyPrismSpirit 1
Navyboy20 Posted January 17 Posted January 17 I'll never forget they gave Rihanna's Unapologetic a 4.5. Good riddance. Rest in piss. They wont be missed. And I hope whoever wrote that review has to stand in soup kitchen lines for their next meal after they get evicted from their home. 4 9 3 7

Letemtalk Posted January 17 Posted January 17 I didn't agree with them a lot of the time, but they were one of the few publications that were willing to criticise popular artists, instead of just rubber stamping their approval on the biggest selling albums. 9
