Funny, everyone was so sure that P4K was such a prestigious and always correct magazine about 5 weeks ago.

Please, Born To Die has some good songs, but let's not act like it's this world class album. Ultraviolence and NFR! are way better albums to listen in full. I used to hate BTD.

This is with Lana being one of my biggest influences.

You never see artists talk about the 89/90 they have on Metacritic, just one or two negative reviews. Why is that?

because P4K is just THAT girl. if p4k tells me something is bad, then i will also think it's bad. :jonny5:

He speaks the truth, but he still has some incest redfish I can't take him serious.

They should have just made a better album. 

 

His debut got panned because it was dreck not misunderstood. 

:toofunny2:

Not enough people on this site acknowledge the trainwreck that was his solo album. Makes me think the majority of people gassing up his work as a producer have never heard it. Easily in the top 10 worst albums I've ever heard, hands down

Unbearable. If it got 8 he would be praising p4k. He sounds like a ATRL stans

6.8 from one review and the Billie clan is having this meltdown?

Do Swifties only use dictionaries to interpret her lyrics? One comment is not a meltdown.

My biggest issue with Pitchfork is not that they take a more aggressive critical approach to their reviews. It is that they tend to publish their reviews a bit later than the rest of the publications have done so, especially for mainstream acts, to purposely be contrarian. Makes their reviews appear disingenuous to what the editors really think. That kind of calculating tactic is annoying. They fear their "indie cred" will evaporate if they give a positive score to a mainstream album they love but they know their readers hate. They for some reason appear to factor in these two things when determining scores.

Well we know Rolling Stone is bought and paid for (they gave Billie a 4/5 because she dared call them out for leaking her tracklist) and P4K will be in the ditch soon so I support Finneas wacking the contrarians

Artists should stop being so offended by reviews, especially ones that aren't even that bad. Just do your music and enjoy it, babe. A lot of people love it, focus on that if you can't take criticism.

 

Also, love Lana to death, but BTD is arguably quite a bloated record, however iconic. 5.5 is hardly a shockingly bad score.

Why....does he even care? These so called "artists" pretend that they only care about the music but you know they are STUCK online looking at every review and comment. :dies:

Sometimes they get it right 🤷‍♀️ 

 

OT: it's true and he should say it. The fact they wait longer than other reviews to put up their biased pick me scores to lower the overall mc score.


"Critics" are are obsolete in 2024.

If Taylor did this, this thread would have 30 pages and you'd be calling it a meltdown. But sure!

It's funny how people only start talking **** about Pitchfork when them/their faves get a grade lower than expected.

'Born To Die' was really overhated tho. That album is a 7, at minimum.

"Nothing cool about writing a positive review of an album everyone likes" is a crazy thing to say lmfao. Everyone doesn't like the album and no music publication is obligated to give one. a 6.8 isn't even bad.

idk if I was an up and comer just starting out I would be pissed off at negative reviews but once I'm an established artist I could give two fcks what a critic says about my music and let the charts and sales speak for themselves
