not bad deserves a 9 or higher though
Eh a 9 on pitchfork is basically like best album in that genre in the last 3-4 years
pitchfork continues the trend of where the best albums of the year are commonly rated between 7-8.5 from them
most the albums they rate above 9 are dreadful honestly

Massively disagree
Pitchfork can be garbage but their 9+ reviews are almost always warranted which is why they’re so hesitant to give them out

Look at these albums these are easily some of the best albums of the 2010s

A lot of these picks are before they changed their direction as a result of new ownership
In the past 5 years I’d say, their 9+ rated albums are dreadful. From that dogshit ANOHNI album to the extremely cringeworthy out of touch white women bs in Norman Rockwell or just painfully boring bland indie rock like the Big Thief record. Magdalene was mid af too tbh.
Where there used to be some actual interesting picks like Life of Pablo or Reflektor or Yeezus or Settle, all their 9+ rated albums honestly just feel like they’re either bland soft indie rock or corny piano ballads at this point
Yves Tumors Safe in the hands of Love might be their only interesting 9+ album in the past 4 years and they rated his next album, which was clearly better, lower than it

Magdalene was amazing but that’s reasonable overall
Big thief got 2 9+ albums and they’re so ass
Also crazy that the only rap album they’ve given a 9+ to in the last 5 years is Damn

f*** you for slipping in big thief even though you're 25% right.
everyone knows 8.7-8.8 BNM is the new "look, theoretically its a 10 but we're with Conde Nast"

They been mostly catering to woke white women now tbh
