Straight up reactionary radlib take.

At least they not hypocrites then if its cause of Kodak

They just wanna sound like intellectuals

Hate when people use difficult language when there are more accessible ways to get the same message across, clarity over complexity always

At some point it just becomes a circlejerk of people who made up imaginary concepts to flex their knowledge of complex words and ideas that have no basis in reality

It'd obviously be much better if he spoke on behalf of and projected his own opinions through his transgender cousin!

Sad this has so many pages, site will never get over Pitchfork.

Wasnt it proven that higher educated people not necessarily 'smarter' than others, they just use more difficult words others don't understand lmao?
(Can see this hearing all those professors in uni talk tbh)

Socialism is when you're a pretentious music critic

And the more pretentious you are the more socialism it is until you got so pretentious that it's communist

GOAT evolution of a top three smiley

That's the type of critical patter you hear from outlets that review a double album this dense within 2 days of release

Same goes the other way btw all those 10's it received within like 6 hrs are meaningless imo

As in an actual study lol?

Higher education does correlate with IQ but IQ itself is extremely flawed

Academics love circlejerking about models and concepts that don't exist tho

Nah the talk abt cancel culture is annoying asf tho

Finally a fair score

Idk i'll have to look it up. I'm sure i've read/seen something like that before.

Think it indeed had more to do with higher educated people overcomplicating a lot of things, while almost everyone can understand concepts and such in simpler words and terms. So it had more to do with language than actual intelligence i think. Will try to find it

Like it when they pro-Black, but I'm more Kodak Black

Probably not cause it's still higher than their certified mid papi

Yeah but what does that mean exactly

Maybe it's not that deep and just him trying to distance himself of that image of being a savior since he's associating with somebody people don't like

mf listened to this and thought ‘damn this is sounding antipop to me ’

yeah not a very well written review. threatens to engage with the album in interesting ways a couple of times but basically falters at the end.

Well yeah vocabulary is an important part of education and is actually very loosely correlated with IQ compared to other aspects of intelligence

They need clicks

I was like damn did i just learn abt a new genre when he said antipop but im convinced this mf just wanted to invent a new word for bragging rights

Pitchfork dont review albums they review people

What is so hard to understand about the word “antipop”?

Its clear that the album is not a typical “pop” album featuring a messy structure (look at the tracklisting) and minimalist production, with half the songs having no clear structure or chorus as opposed to most “pop” albums.

Also, why are you getting so mad, it’s just one persons opinion.

Never woulda thought Pitchfork would say a Weeknd pop album would rate higher than a Kenny album. (Grade too harsh imo, it’s an 8.0 or so)
