It's terrible

>>69759827
Because they're obsessed with hip hop and black music in general now. And they gave the best hip hop/black album of the last decade a 9.3 so they pretty much can't give anything higher than that, and they wouldn't dare give a white artist higher than it either.

>>69759859
so TPAB ruined everything and Duckworth Lamar is cancer is what you're trying to say?

>>69759827
Only poc deserve it now, expect this to become much more so under Trump. Did you see their top 3 albums of the year? Beyonce, Frank Ocean, and Solange.

>>69759874
to be fair Frank easily deserves it

The other two are meh

how dare you

>>69759870
Nah, I don't give a shit about P4k giving out high scores, but that album is now the standard they will set their scores on. If they gave it a 9.6/9.8 they will be giving out higher scores to albums like A Moon Shaped Pool and even Colouring Book, since they couldn't have gave either higher than TPAB even if they thought either deserved 9.4.

>>69759903
>AOTY
>8.7

have they gone full retard? Why give AMSP or hell even Coloring Book 9.1 if your not going to put either in your top ten list what the point of the ratings?

literally who?

>>69759933
Because Radiohead are WHITE and Chance is a MALE!

>>69759841
>2deep4 rolling stone, NME and spin

that usually means something's good
then again if it's rated highly by p4k that probably means something's bad

>>69759970

I may still have some p4k drone left in me but I'll take them over rolling stone and NME or TMT any day desu

its not a bad record.

>>69759933
Review are written by individuals who work at p4k, while the end year lists are made by the entire staff.

>>69760092
scaruffi is the worst out of all of these

>>69760161

holy shit has there ever been a better streak of albums for scaruffi?

>>69760339
shut up faggot. this argument is going in circles.

>>69759812
i remember when pitchfork used to cover indie music and used to be tolerable
>>69759841
it's fantastic in every way. what, too white for you?

>>69759827

They're painfully out of touch so they're afraid to make a strong concrete statement for or against a music release.

If they enjoy an album and think it has hit potential they'll give it 8.4 BNM and then put it in the in the top 5 end of the year list after it's confirmed to have be a hit with the public.

>>69760409
that doesn't even make sense

we all make mistakes, even musical geniuses.

>>69760317
outsider opinion coming through: scaruffi is often decent enough but lets bias and preconceived notions mar his objectivity too often to be a solid source

>>69760468
this

>>69760468
thank you for actually having reasoning behind your criticisms of scaruffi.
