Pitchfork

[IDNSFG818]

I just want a album review to be entertaining.

I couldn't give a flying fuck whether they like the album or not.
That's for me to decide.

i think the whole point with the Audioslave reviews is that for the most part it's not the kind of album or band that the average target reader for Pitchfork would give a crap about, so why should they? especially not in 2005. i mean really, why would you go to a place known for reviewing independent and less than mainstream releases for a blatantly mainstream supergroup's 2nd release.

i must say the lyrical replies were quite funny. Cornell's double baked lyrics worked phenomenally well in Soundgarden but then again Thayil studied Philosophy in university as opposed to Political Science like Morello. a forced fit will never be as smooth as a natural one.

Joanna Newsom, someone rip her vocal corRAB out please.

[crys63]

There's alot of good and bad in that list but, hey... it's pitchfork.

[lilpistol72]

Agreed. Also I will be seeing them in Houston in Deceraber I'm looking forward to it.

Doesn't really mean much coming from a person who has expressed his vehement loathing of virtually anything indie on more than a zillion occasions.

yes, but all those sites just have regurgitated music lists. I swear, everything from Stereogum to SPIN.com, all the music sites basically listen to the same albums. I would love to see just one list that doesn't have Girls as one of their Top 10 albums, or that didn't list Animal Collective as nuraber one. Not saying I'm not a fan, it would just be nice to see someone do something different.

Spin did some over extensive article on them as well, it wasn't even focused on their music, it was mainly about how awkward Bradford is and how he wears dresses onstage.

The day Murray Street came out , I listened to it & thought it was a revelation compared to NYC G&F.

That should tell you how low I rate it

crazy

the title track on NYCG+F is one of SY's best songs EVER. Free City Rhymes is also stunning. You may not enjoy it, but to say its "devoid of any ideas" is just wrong. Some excellent guitar work, sometimes really gorgeous, sometimes very eerie. I find it a perfect autumnal album, it has that really mellow, dreamy-yet-sparse sound that I love in the autumn (for whatever reason). The only thing that really lets it down is the lyrics, occasionally.

Bad Moon Rising is one of SY's best albums. Maaaaan.
