Nobody's dog piling cause nobody can name another Trapt song.

 

I mean, I can, but I've got better things to do than make Trapt puns...






















...but I'm Ready When You Are.

 

Can I ask for a Horrorcore Thread :P

 

That's a mistake.

 

Things must be extremely dire at Pitchfork

 

TIL that Pitchfork has never had a comment section.

 

I'm doing this because it seems fun and silly

 

Happy 40th anniversary release of the Faith No More album We Care a Lot

 

I don't know if anyone's interested in new Guns n Roses material in 2025 but they have released 2 new songs!

 

i'll listen i guess!

 

Frontman of amazing band Big Loser had a car accident. There's gofundme for him.

I miss Polar Bear Club

 

if anyone here is interested in joining, we just revived the Weekly Album Club. works like any typical book club or film club, where someone chooses an album for the week and we discuss. if you want to join, just say so in the thread!

fuck yes, Bandcamp (they're banning AI music on the platform).

 

Feels like about 9/10 times that I think "wow this record sounds great," I look at the credits and see that it was mastered by Heba Kadry. Best in the biz.

 

LOL, Pitchfork is putting up a paywall. You can now only read four reviews a month for free.

 

that's so fucking stupid

 

I know, why read even one?

 

i haven't really paid attention to their site in a long time, but i don't see how this works the way they expect. i don't think anyone's really interested in adding their own critiques except for hordes of stans who will cry foul when their favorite artist gets a 5.6 for their next album. and those that only care about the score itself will probably seek that information elsewhere. how many people in 2026 are earnestly visiting Pitchfork for nuanced, well-written music criticism?

 

I never read their reviews but I used to read their news page daily. At once point they rearranged where stuff is and lights buried the news and I slowly stopped going, I check the news every week or so now, but my visiting hours are way down

 

OMG you didn't mention that subscribing also allows you to rate albums that goes toward a user score that will be displayed

 

and a comments section!

 

paying for good curated music criticism makes sense. doesn't really make sense for something like Pitchfork

 

This is so funny to me, they actually made a whole article about what their scores mean, to teach users how to rate albums
