1/5/2024 0 Comments Fetch the bolt cutters![]() I mean, it's great that Fiona Apple made The Only Perfect Album Within The Last Ten Years but in terms of scoring system, I would prefer more variance from Pitchfork. The people at Drowned in Sound and Tiny Mix Tapes (who also gave a lot of 5 dot reviews) made me feel more optimistic about music. But I felt it kept up a higher level of enthusiasm. Were there really 3-5 10 worthy albums a year? I don't know because I don't do scoring shit. I miss Drowned In Sound, who'd give 3-5 10's a year. Pitchfork's reviews and scores often feel like they don't actually like music, just the scene (kind of like how Fantano reviews and scores feel like he doesn't like music, just how things sound and how it was produced and mixed). After all, Pitchfork is just another contributor to the music industry bullshit complex.Īll that said, it makes me pine for the days when we had publications that were both a bit snooty and heaped a lot of praise more frequently. Is a Fiona Apple fan going to give a shit whether this album gets a 10 or 9 or 8? Likely not. Most other music circles aren't going to care. Every Pitchfork and Fantano score that's good is jerked off as important and obviously right on HipHopHeads. The thing is, the hip hop community (and, to a lesser extent, the metal community) love this sort of lavish praise bullshit. It makes sense since Pitchfork scores try to reflect an artist's trajectory and not really the album itself.Īnyhow as much as I'm surprised Pitchfork gave Apple the 10 (even though they recently reviewed two of her older albums and gave them 9+ and, even at the time, it felt like their 9.0 score was low due to the sexism the site had at the time) I'm not sure it means much. Their 10's are always artists that are highly established, usually with several 9's or better under their belt. Pitchfork 10's seem to come from albums that undergo a long period of hype living up to the hype. The review for those that didn't see it: These thoughts are mostly jumbled, I just wanted to start a discussion about this. With giving an album like this a 10/10 – a very human, visceral and home-made record, that while released by Epic, is very independent with a beloved indie artist like Apple at the helm – is this Pitchfork trying to "regain indie cred" again? The current discourse around this album seems to be entirely about the Pitchfork review, and not around the album itself. To go back and forth about the deservedness of the score seems pedantic, as everyone will have different opinions (music is subjective after all), but I think the discussion on Pitchfork and their choice to give the 10/10 to THIS album is interesting.įor a long time now it seems as if Pitchfork is chasing trends, poptimism being the biggest one. This is the first time in a decade we've gotten a perfect Pitchfork score for an album, the last being Kanye West's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy". However, this isn't really as much a discussion of the album as it is the mythical 10/10 rating from Pitchfork. Fiona _, "Fetch the Bolt Cutters" actress who shares her name with a fleshy red or green fruit.I should preface this by saying I think this is a really great, borderline brilliant album and one that is extremely needed right now.
