apparently my girlfriend had never read the infamous Pitchfork Media Kid A review, and her reaction was: "what even is this"
@YKantRachelRead what even is this
@wallhackio the review that ruined music journalism for two and a half decades and counting
@YKantRachelRead I thought it was a shitpost but then I wasn't sure
@wallhackio nope, this was earnestly written by some twentysomething white guy with David Foster Wallace brainworms
@YKantRachelRead @wallhackio ooohhhh I found this one https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/13385-kid-a-special-collectors-edition/ and was like sure that seems like a normal amount of unhinged for an album review, but the other one, ok yea that's outstanding.
By which I mean it's "standing out" there and we locked the doors and turned off the lights and we're hoping they just go away.
@wallhackio @kevingranade I love it that there's a normal amount of unhinged that we allow for in music reviews. like, given that I've been guilty of that myself as a critic, but it's just amusing to me all around lol
@wallhackio congratulations, you're one of the lucky 10,000 today: https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/6656-kid-a/
