Oh Pitchfork, why must you hurt me so?
I mean 8.5?? Really??
I guess it’s a good score, but I think this is more than simply a “good” album. I mean you gave it a lower score than Shut Up I Am Dreaming and it’s clearly a better, more assured album. OK, so maybe score isn’t everything, right? You can’t just look at the number and get an album. No, but the review should reflect the score and although you may think 8.5 is good enough that there’s no reason to complain, your glowing review says otherwise. I can’t find a negative anywhere in this review. Why isn’t this at least a 9.0? Is this album simply not pretentious enough to garner a score in the 9s on Pitchfork? Or maybe Sunset Rubdown isn’t on Pitchfork’s list of bands-we-like-that-make-us-better-than-you.
