I swear it's not just because he died

Biggest crime of the SOTY list is the absence of Me and Your Mama

The only 9.0+ album I see getting AOTY is Coloring Book

>AMSP
not high enough in the Radiohead discography. Giving this AOTY makes everything else look bad
>Thank You For Your Service
see above
>Hopelessness
Inflated 9
>22 A Million
Inflated 9
>Blonde
Inflated 9, Channel Orange will clearly be considered the classic
>TLOP
repeat artists are too boring, and Kanye's meltdown makes it touchy. Also inflated
>Skeleton Tree
doesn't fit the mood of the year. Too personal

Based on the SOTY list, I think Beyoncé, Solange, and Bowie are all possibilities

>>69632185
>>69632166
nah to either. They'll be top 10 though. AOTY is either Frank Ocean or Chance the Rapper or, if they really want to throw a curve ball, Solange. My guess is Chance

>>69632914
also, Endless>Blond

i work at p4k, and the aoty is beyonce. a girl has never won, and that was a big sticking point with the editors--plus we gets points for black.

>>69633436
Yeah, the honorable mentions came out the day before last year so we definitely are not getting the albums of the year yet.

I made a bet with a friend that j cole gets less than a 7.. think I'll win?

>>69633589
duh. since when has p4k ever liked him. 4 Your Eyez Only is not redeeming material, m8.

top 5 albums will be
1. beyonce
2. frank ocean
3. solange
4. radiohead
5. chance the rapper

believe it

>>69633613

it's pretty awesome how p4k has devolved into complete negro worship with the token slots reserved for dadrock like radiohead

>>69632266

>>69633613
I'll be disappointed if you're right about Solange.

I think it will be
1. Beyoncé
2. Frank Ocean
3. Chance the Rapper
4. David Bowie
5. Angel Olsen

>>69633613
no way bowie doesnt make top 5

1. Blackstar
2. A Moon Shaped Pool
3. 22, a Million
4. Skeleton Tree
5. My Woman
6. Sirens
7. You Want it Darker
8. Wildflower
9. Next Thing
10. Teens of Denial

Thus p4k ushers in the 2nd White Era

>>69633721
lmao

desu Pitchfork giving Beyonce AOTY would be the absolute lowest thing they have ever done.

>>69633721
kek. The worst part is that this was p4k until like 2010, when Kanye fucked it all up. I'm telling you, MBDTF's 10/10 changed Pitchfork forever.

>>69633721
If this happens I will deep fry a sock, eat it and post it here with this tripcode.

1. Frank
2. Beyonce
3. Bowie
4. Kanye
5. Chance
6. Solange
7. Radiohead
8. Angel Olsen
9. Anohni
10. Tribe

>>69633750
It's guaranteed, anon.

>>69632738
they aren't doing honorable mentions -- they did the various '20 best' lists instead for whatever reason. probably because it would get them more pageviews.

>>69633761
It was the rise of kendrick that did it. Somewhere between section 80 and good kid madd city, they went full retard and started giving good scores to shit like rich kidz

>>69633791
oh yeah, that would make more sense. fuck. p4k has changed for good.

if dubs car seat headrest squeezes into the top ten.

>>69633613
my guess
1. frank ocean
2. solange
3. beyonce (2 & 3 are interchangable)
4. chance
5. i dunno probably bowie maybe nick cave but i doubt it

https://twitter.com/krevinlorenzo/status/808544502407450624
Thoughts?

1. Bowie
2. Beyonce
3. Frank
4. Solange
5. Kanye
6. Anohni
7. Chance
8. Nick Cave
9. Angel Olsen
10. Car Seat Headrest

>>69633750

just proof that it's time to man up and fight white genocide, anon.

>>69633782
this is the ideal list. I'd put Bowie above Beyonce tho, but this is Pitchfork so you know they gonna put her up some

why did they choose Ultralight Beam, Real Friends, and No More Parties in LA over Famous, Waves, Saint Pablo, 30 Hours, etc, etc etc ?

>>69633861
Seth Colter Walls should write all the reviews. He's a champ and patrician

>>69633861
waste of a year. pointless job. his parents are not proud of him. guaranteed.

>>69633613
1. frank
2. radiohead
3. chance
4. beyonce
5. tribe

i'm confident that they won't give it to beyonce. p4k at least tries vaguely to remain sort of hip and indie like they were in the past, i don't think they'd give the most top 40 of top 40 the AOTY. maybe that's just wishful thinking though.

>>69633917
I really don't think they're gonna put Chance or Radiohead in the top five. if they do, it'll be one at #5. no way they'll be ahead of Bowie, the Knowles sisters, and Frank.

damn, he wrote a fuckton of reviews and he could only give out 2 BNMs both of which were restricted to artists that were already pitchfork co-signed
poor guy

>all this bitterness about Beyoncé
Lemonade is good lads

>>69633893
Waves has chris brown on it they are not gonna celebrate that
Saint Pablo and 30 hours not high profile enough to put in a top 100 tracks
famous idk i really thought they'd have that

its worth noting real friends and nmpila were both released as soundcloud "singles" before the album came out

Ultra light beam is just an incredible song tho and well deserved number 1 although I wouldve picked cranes in the sky

This is the first I have ever listened to My Blood Valentine. I thought it would be loud and jarring but it's actually soothing and melodic. I'm blown away.

>>69633861
guess maybe we need to put Saby "Literally Who" Reyes-Kulkarni, Seth Colter Walls, and maybe Sheldon Pearce and Stuart Berman in the OP

probably Stuart Berman tho, seems like he's been around awhile

>>69633943
I really want to but I love Mark. Mark is the only one still there that I respect. Also, I literally have that sweater. Wtf?

But we do need to raid it.

>>69633970

lemonade movie is best piece of art of the year

the album by itself doesnt stand up as well though imo

>>69633970
hey! that's their worst album btw (though i rate them all 10/10 so it's really just a matter of personal preference with me)

Its not a fucking movie. Every song just has a video its fucking stupid.

>>69633943
how about we ask them actual questions

>>69634012
>lemonade movie is best piece of art of the year

lol. jesus christ. how the hell do you evaluate artistic merit?

>>69633943
p4k should put photos next to their bylines. if only ppl could see what faggots and ccuks and fatasses and landwhales and ugmos and wwk's the reviewers really are.

>>69634014
And I love it so far. I'm 25 minutes in. That must mean the other two are much better. I can't wait to give those a listen too then.

>>69634056
Isn't Anything has a much rougher sound. You'll probably adore Loveless though.

and m b v is an album subdivided into very distinct thirds. post what you think after you get to the last section...

be sure to give their eps a listen too
tremolo is some good shit

do you think they fight over their lists?

SOLANGE AOTY

i actually really liked that Solange record, but c'mon

im surprised but in hindsight it makes sense

could've been better, could've been worse

Honestly though the top 10 could've been worse, save for Anhoni, Beyoncé, Frank Ocean, and Solange

Dude literally in the first here minutes of that album he starts whining about Trayvon Martin, that album is bogus

remember when solange got bnm, and we kept that thread bumped for 24hr+ and got more than 300 replies? we did this, guys. our meme-ing and casual racism did this.

this is the top 40 list we deserve.

the knife was definitely unexpected but RTJ was expected. couldn't give it to mark after he called their reporter a bitch, and swans are unbearably white """"indie"""". meanwhile RTJ has a white man taking the back seat to a black man while he screams about how much he hates the cops. an obvious choice.

i'm hoping it's the readers poll, that was probably the most interesting last year.

>>69633782
You were actually really close. If you move Solange up to #1 you've nailed the top 6, plus you've covered every album that actually ended up being in the top 10 even if they're not in the right order.

>>69634571
why did you write 'does' as 'those'?

Fuck cuckfork.
Why do they hate white people so much desu :(
You just KNOW Solange got the top spot because she got told by an old wacist white lady to sit down at a frickin' Kraftwerk concert

thom yorke was texting at a movie and was told to put his phone away so he wrote amsp

>>69634946
he doesn't talk english good

>The assertion sits atop an essay that Solange Knowles wrote in the waning weeks of summer. In the text that followed, she recounted a painful, much-publicized recent incident: A group of women had pelted her, with words and then trash, as she stood to dance at a Kraftwerk concert in New Orleans. She recalled her resolve to stay positive for the sake of her young son and his friend, also in attendance, and remembered assuming that she must have been imagining their violation: “Certainly a stranger would not have the audacity.” But that charity proved misplaced, and disappointingly familiar: As a woman of color, she had been dismissed, scrutinized, and harassed by strangers in predominantly white spaces before. She knew well the emotional labor of turning the other cheek.
FUCK
THAT
SHIT

does [some black website] make a year-end list that keeps getting whiter and whiter? did they vote radiohead aoty?

2016
NME > Pitchfork

How many buzzwords can they fit into this thing?
So far we have:
>woman of color
>dismissed
>predominantly white spaces
>violation

Let's continue:
>When A Seat at the Table dropped three weeks later, it became clear that the essay’s title pulled from the lyrics of “Weary.” It’s a wistful ballad that explores how, when you’re constantly fighting for the base amount of respect, graciousness can be downright exhausting: “Be leery ’bout your place in the world/You’re feeling like you’re chasing the world/You’re leaving not a trace in the world/But you’re facing the world.” A Seat at the Table is full of similar admissions, delivered with a rare and beautiful empathy. In it, Solange often speaks to the universal experiences of youth (new love, confusion, heartbreak), but does not shy away from her own journey; the specificities of black life are proudly inextricable from her accounts. On “Mad,” she offers a poised reply to a damaging stereotype commonly affixed to black women, flipping accusations that they’re always angry into an uplifting rebuttal: “You got the light, count it all joy!” Floating over Raphael Saadiq’s lush soul arrangements, she travels “70 states” to escape such pressures, turning to sex, alcohol, isolation and material pursuits on the haunting ballad “Cranes in the Sky”—but the journey leads her back to where she began, looking inward for strength.

I'm sorry
For something that I didn't do
Lynched somebody
But I don't know who
You blame me for slavery
A hundred years before I was born
[Repeat: x4]
Guilty of being white

For something that I didn't do
Lynched somebody

>>69635009
really make-a me think

>A Seat at the Table has a gorgeous sense of flow; ideas of identity commingle easily with social commentary as lithe R&B melts into spoken interludes. The latter happens with a cinematic ease; the interludes sew the album together like plot points of a larger narrative. Solange’s mother, Tina Lawson, makes an impassioned appearance, saying: “It’s such beauty in black people, and it really saddens me when we’re not allowed to express that pride in being black, and that if you do, then it's considered anti-white. No! You’re just pro-black. And that’s okay.” This segues beautifully into the standout track “Don’t Touch My Hair,” a measured stance against the misguided act of reaching for a black person’s crown. Much like the know-how required to care for this hair, which is often passed down by a maternal figure, Lawson’s words offer a glimpse of the love for her heritage that she instilled in her daughter. Other monologues feature Solange’s father recalling the trauma of school integration (“We lived in the threat of death every day”) and an introspective Master P, who crystallizes one of the album’s salient themes: “If you don’t understand my record, you don’t understand me—so this is not for you.”

If p4k loves sucking black dick so much, why are the majority of their writers white men? p4k is racist! Their writers aren't at least 50% black gay trans poly bi two-spirit non-abled squirrelkin!

I've followed this website since 2010, almost 7 years of my life.

Almost every day I check their site around 10'o clock, just out of habit at this point. Even if I'm busy or not near a computer, when 10 comes around I think, "Oh hey, that's when pitchfork puts out reviews."

I know the scores of most of my favorite albums, of albums I hate, of all the big releases. I could name the top 10 of just about every year I've followed, and of decade lists they've done, all kinds of stuff. I always submit my list to the readers' poll, especially that big one they did of the 2000s.

The site has long since ceased to be good. I probably started to hate it somewhere in 2013/2014. But still I've kept this ritual.

Why? Why have I done this? Why waste any mental energy on this site which has clearly gone down the tubes entirely in quality, if they were ever actually good?

This is somewhat of a wakeup call, /mu/. How did I get to this point? I feel like I'm waking up from a long dream, like I slept through the last 7 years.

Surely I can't be alone in this. Does anyone else know what I mean?

>>69634323
>>69634414


whites are panicking

>>69635220
you wishin you were the one with clit in your mouth?

>>69635246
no

>>69635246
I think them picking Solange the Sheboon as having the best album of 2016 is serving as a wake-up call to many of us, anon.They've become completely consumed by BLM and SJW feminist identity politics. Albums only get above an 8.0 if they're "woke" enough. Individual tracks only get written about if they have feminist themes. Member when they shut down the comments and got rid of the like/dislike bar for the godawful Le Tigre music video they posted that was shilling for Hillary? The one where avowed "punks" backed the most establishment candidate in US history, who repeatedly stabbed their hero Bernie in the back and rigged the primary against him from the start?
P4K is dead, and they clearly don't want white men--or white people for that matter--to read their site anymore. Notice how they're even trying to review far more jazz albums than usual this year, and they've eschewed the traditional year-end best metal albums list. They've been cucked into oblivion.
RIP P4K

>>69635312
But we all should have known from the beginning that p4k was trash because they don't have comments sections on their website. Any publication/website that is afraid of direct user criticism is ultimately doomed.

>no The Avalanches - Wildflower

FUCK MY LIFE UP

>>69635365
They were kind of one of the first to pioneer the no-comments model, if memory serves correctly

Good riddance

>>69635366
They're aging white guys from Australia (a racist country which once tried to genocide its aboriginal people) who sample and appropriate music created by black bodies.

>>69635390
Just remember: any news website that doesn't allow comments is fake news 100% of the time.

>>69635421
>fake news
please don't use this cringey fucking term, friend
you're absolutely correct though

>>69635437
It's the cringiest fucking phrase of 2016.
But I used it to point out that many of the organizations peddling the "fake news" nonsense don't allow comments on their websites (like CNN or MSNBC)--thus, they are themselves fake news.

>>69635462
By claiming sites like Drudge or Breitbart are "fake news" without providing any evidence besides "we're on TV and we told you so," they've really opened up a pandora's box where now anything anybody dislikes can be dismissed as fake news. Fuck CNN and fuck Jeff Zucker to hell.

2015: 140 8.0+ albums
2016: 186 8.0+ albums
Did Conde Nast make them increase their average rating to encourage greater album sales or something?

Really surprised that the Avalanches record didn't make it on the list. How often does an 8.5+ album get snubbed from the top 50?

>>69635793
to be fair, who the fuck throws a lime at a person? Like was Kraftwerk performing at a kindergarden?

>>69635790
Blut aus Nord got an 8.5 with no BNM, iirc

>>69635807
wut

someone with a lime in their alcoholic bevarage?

>>69635804
When the album gets an 8.5+ off purely 16 year back hype, it'll happen, probably would have been better off if they gave it a more accurate 8.1 or somethiang

>>69635804
Album was trash. Everyone stopped playing it after a week. In my case, 3 days.
