Their bnm on artists I’ve never heard of still got a good hit rate

Is that the shooter in the thumbnail?

I’m still surprised KTT seems to be enamoured with them still. Back in the old KTT1 days, PF reviews used to be heavily anticipated but I didn’t know we still cared about that site

So just as I suspected. You had to login to YouTube to watch it previously. I've updated the permissions to allow watching it through the embed without needing to sign in.

This isn't true. Pitchfork was in the news recently because of massive layoffs and then being folded into GQ.

Also, Finneas, Billie Ellish's brother made a very public statement complaining about Pitchfork after he felt they received unwarranted criticism for Hit Me Hard and Soft album

"Unwarranted criticism" lmao how dare a music publication share a review of an album? Whether you like Pitchfork or not, he's just another salty artist upset they didn't get the Pitchfork seal of approval (which, in 2024, is not even worth getting upset about).

You clearly didn't watch the video lol. I agree with you.
The point of the video is using Pitchfork as a launchpad to talk about the piss-poor state of music criticism overall

I'm talking about Finneas complaining about getting a 6.8 not the content of the video in OP

So this is the Finneas quote we're referencing:

"Nothing cool about writing a positive review of an album >everyone likes- they've gotta have an angle. They gave (Lana Del Rey's) born to die a 5.5- it's their whole hater-a** bag."

Pitchfork does its best at aligning itself with the general consensus while trying to make it seem like its vice versa

Was Camp really a 1.6 album?

Yes and No tbh, but it wasn't pitchforks place

Well thats the thing. What albums really merit a 1.6 or 0.0. Like thats so extra.

Like the Camp reviewer actually made cogent points but scoring it that low does definitely feel like bait and I go over that point in the video.
