I knew Allmusic was retarded, but...

Oh, it's not that bad. I like Allmusic, and i've read this review before, and I hate ms.Hilton more than I hate peeling potatoes, and that's a lot. Their review's are level-headed and quite good, they seem to rate based on the artist and all their albums, it's more of a place to decide which album to get from an artist first rather than a place to find a new band. That's why it doesn't bother me that Paris Hilton's album got 4.5 stars and that Sonic Youth's Experimental Jet set trash and no star got 1.5. It's all from a different perspective, it says that the album will be enjoyable to those who like retarded pop music, and it probably will.

Far better than pitchfork if you ask me.

Same. Well I was shocked when I saw the rating, then I read the review and It kind of made sense.

For all the shit that Pfork takes around here, I read it every day. As far as new music recomendations I am split between them and last.fm, specifically this community. Sure, some of their reviews are poorly written or just plain awful, but the positives far outweigh the negatives. Just as long as people don't take everything they say at face value and actually judge the music themselves. I just started using all music too and their reviews are better written, but I don't get as many new music recommendations from them.

I totally agree! How could they just give it a 4.5? It should have recieved a 4,000,000,000,000,000.5!

hahahahaha, God you crack me up.

I used to read Rolling Stone but I stopped because I realized, yes it is trash. However, I think it's hard to argue against the reviews of Rob Sheffield. He really is a great writer, I found I agreed much more with his review of Thom Yorke's "The Eraser" than I did with the Pitchfork review of it. The Eraser
Plus, because he is like their main reviewer he gets more words to work with, unlike their terrible little 5 sentence album reviews. That is one of their big problems, but there are more.


And Adam, I spent like all yesterday studying! Taylor series are just impossible for me to understand. Because I am done with all Calculus forever tommorow at 10pm I have stopped trying to see the "big picture" of what I'm doing and so some of this stuff is real hard. Calc 2 is also like the most failed freshman final here or something like that. Ps. your former boss must have awesome taste in television shows.

No one understands Taylor and McLauren series. I got a B in Calculus II because of those things. That and my asshole prof that thought a 89.7 was a B.

Calculus III is really easy, but I too, am done with Calculus!

On to differential equations!

(what TV show is that?)

Adam...you seriously haven't watched Arrested Development? I'm ashamed. Let me put this in terms you can understand:

Arrested Development:TV::Pollo Fundido:Food

Yeah. It's THAT good.

I've seen half of the first season of Arrested Development, but I didn't recognize the characters until it was mentioned.

The Puppet threw me off!!!

What's up with all the Pitchfork hating? Sure, they're bitchy and totally bipolar skitsos in their reviews, but I find that it generally is a good representation of what the average indie-crowd is into/the elitist, indie-kid perspective on an album.

Nah, it's just me bitching enough for the whole group.

I can give a long, long, long list of reasons as to why I hate that site, and not a single one of them would be that I disagree with the music they rate highly or the music they rate poorly.

Meh, not all indie-kids are stupid. There are people in this group who I would call indie-kids and who probably aren't ashamed to be indie-kids. But alot of them are retarded, yes.

"I was at pink floyd concerts when you were still swimming around in your daddys balls, kid!"

That was the best response to an amazon review ever.
