>was this album actually received poorly
no, they ended up being bigger than at the drive-in

>was it just a classic shitty pitchfork review
definitely a shitty review, but it was their stance at the time. believe it or not, not everyone lets pitchfork dictate their opinion on music. especially not fans of prog, which is the least cool genre in existence

>>68951061
Nah oldfag here who remembers

GOAT album from the get go. Pitchfork didn't factor in at the time

>>68951061
also old enough to remember it coming out.
it was received by people who weren't even fans of atdi or de-loused as an instant classic, both amongst just general radio alt listeners and also people into prog n more 'experimental' guitar music

that was when pitchfork was more invested in selling copies of clap your hands say yeah... and got their song to air on an episode of the then-new nbc sitcom the office (jim listens to it on his ipod mini)

this album saved prog rock

>>68951225
how? ten years later the prog scene is dominated by shitty metal bands worshiping dream theater, opeth and tool

>>68951247
I said prog rock, not prog scene

>>68951267
and I asked how

>>68951300
by releasing best prog rock piece in years?

>>68951337
that doesn't "save" an entire genre

To find the real value of any album, take the pitchfork score and subtract it from 10
