>Album Of The Year leaves one feeling like waking up and finding last night's used condom -- sure, the ride was fun while it lasted, but what remains is just plain icky. And you definitely don't want it in your CD player.

Is there some sort of mistake with the rating?

Look at most of Pitchfork's reviews from that time. They loathed prog. Actually nearly killed the sort of prog renaissance that had been coming up.

You know how when you look at a picture of someone from years ago wearing something ridiculous and rocking a retarded haircut and you ask yourself how could they not know how fucking stupid they looked?
That's Pitchfork. Every second of every day. Everything they have ever sanctioned. That's Pitchfork.

I know I'm going to get people saying lol Godspeed sucks anyway, but basically the only reason they panned UXO was because post-rock was going out of fashion at the time.

maybe, but it was going of fashion for a reason.

>>
>>74274790
this. yanqui uxo is a beautiful album that uses nothing but music and composition without out of context samples to create ambience
>>
>>74274816
It was going out of fashion because of everyone in the genre getting incredibly same-y and copying lysf. UXO tried to take a different course to what they had done in LYSF and got shat on for being 'plodding'.
Just seems off to me that they were willing to give lysf a 9 and a glowing review and uxo a 5.6 and a review that shows enough contempt that makes you think that the author probably wanted to lower the score beyond that.

>The experience and emotions tied to listening to Kid A are like witnessing the stillborn birth of a child while simultaneously having the opportunity to see her play in the afterlife on Imax. It's an album of sparking paradox. It's cacophonous yet tranquil, experimental yet familiar, foreign yet womb-like, spacious yet visceral, textured yet vaporous, awakening yet dreamlike, infinite yet 48 minutes. It will cleanse your brain of those little crustaceans of worries and inferior albums clinging inside the fold of your gray matter. The harrowing sounds hit from unseen angles and emanate with inhuman genesis. When the headphones peel off, and it occurs that six men (Nigel Godrich included) created this, it's clear that Radiohead must be the greatest band alive, if not the best since you know who. Breathing people made this record! And you can't wait to dive back in and try to prove that wrong over and over.

It's really obnoxious when the review doesn't reflect on the album, and essentially just criticizes the music and the artist themselves without giving reasonable points.
