parkinglot Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Pitchfork treatment: http://tpshlf.co/17J1ksYBeat me to it. Kevin/Seth, I'm curious as to what your opinion on the review is? If you put the "good publicity" factor aside. The review reads like a pile of shit to me, and that's not taking into account the Fightboat comparison to The Summer Ends, trumpet intros.

Bladewillisisdead Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Reviewer says "Someone called Shitty Greg" but then later calls him Greg Horbal. 2/10 would not read again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attempting to save his p4k cred and pretend not to be following "emo" tooooo closely, yet reviewing the albums to acknowledge the music is good. or who knows, maybe the dude is homies with greg and is fucking with him.can't possibly see that though.

Shelby Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I can't believe I actually read the whole review. It's fun when pitchfork reviews stuff you know inside and out... pointing out the bull is too easy. ajismetal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3arl Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Pitchfork has been all over this "scene" lately. They've favorably reviewed tracks by Dads, B&C, Title Fight, Into It Over It and I'm sure some others I'm forgetting all in the past month or so.

cwhitmuzik Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 actually I've heard the reviewers don't score the record, the site editors score it. Pretty much. You won't see an emo record go above what Crash of Rhinos got and you won't see one go below a mid 7 as long as Ian chooses what he reviews. At least not until more of the site starts taking to the genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 The review makes it sound like BNM but then Ian FUCKIN' Cohen pans it with the score. C'mon son ? 7.8 is a solid score, especially considering they usually wouldn't touch anything in this genre. It's like 4/5 stars, and I'd see a movie that got 4/5 stars. I remember before Pitchfork narrowed their editorial focus down to just what's hip and happening, and they used to review a decent amount of actual punk and emo, and not just fashionable stuff like Trash Talk, Wavves, etc. I mean, they reviewed Situationist Comedy. So it's cool to see them branching back out into the less image-conscious side of underground music. topshelfsquad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Not a fan of Pitchfork venturing into these waters. I'm sure there is some indie super group with fabulous hair and costumes forming that they'd find more appealing. tomfiend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, they even said Doris was panned after it got BNM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zick Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I love all this ignorance, it's funny. Completely off topic, but I saw you've been covering the new Echo Base album. Do you know if they are working on a vinyl release for that or Keep Your Expectations Reasonable? Good jams there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whole album is great by the way. Glad to see you're checking out the site (or just saw it on the echo base page in which case you aren't as cool but you're still cool!!!).

Keep your eyes (and really everyone in this thread because it appeals to them) peeled for a review of a band called Deer Widow, my writer (a VC member actually) loved it and it's really good late 90's styled emo stuff.

jonochuu Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 So I had emailed topshelf a while ago about getting a playable copy after my clear w/ blue+green splatter came warped, expecting a second pressing (which I would have been stoked on), but I was astounded when my replacement arrived and was in fact the same, sold out, /200 variant that I had ordered in the first place! And I thought I couldn't possibly love topshelf more! topshelfsquad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
