For years, Vampire Weekend have implicitly threatened—in their perverse, contrarian, head-of-the-class way—to sound like Phish; Father of the Bride marks the moment the threat becomes a promise
I think it's time to put Grandma Pitchfork in a home

Seriously. That writer is very convinced they're being antagonistic, and always have been?

That's a major plus to my writing gig, I always get to choose the score.

"New York, a place where you can’t take a walk around the block without feeling like you’re bothering the dead."
Is this other people's experience? Have to say I haven't felt this way in NYC but maybe I'm just not cut out for the big city. Curious to hear everyone's thoughts.

There's more dead people than living in Queens, so I'm gonna say no, that's not my experience either |

Maybe the reviewer is a big fan of Ricky Gervais in Ghost Town....

Mike Powell confused NYC with Philadelphia, the setting of the 1999 blockbuster "The Sixth Sense."

i also dont understand how in the sunday review they gave aphex's selected ambient works vol II a 10 when the score of vol I is a 9.4. those should be switched imo.

Feels like P4k is really progressing if they are covering the Knot.
Will predict they'll give Iowa an 8.9 on the next reissue

I was counting on it actually. Drunk II got a BNT and its getting glowing reviews.
I'm surprised they haven't covered Baroness yet. I'm expecting a pan tho.

The last paragraph of the Raconteurs review is very strange:
Other indie rock groups—supergroups, like boygenius even—are presently making music that is orders of magnitude greater than this record, often with vastly less experience, vastly fewer resources, and vastly higher barriers to entry. Recall the indelible moment in “Me & My Dog,” where Phoebe Bridgers’ voice becomes a scooped-out husk of itself, and she murmurs, ashamed, “I cried at your show with the teenagers.” Even in her own song, she is at somebody else’s show, her story dissolving into a crowd of other stories. The Raconteurs, by contrast, would never lower themselves to the level of their audience. They understand their presence on the stage as a given, not something to be earned anew. They have always stood in the spotlight. They assume that they always will.

yeah that review wasn't the best. I'm actually surprised by how much I've enjoyed it.
Also surprised they didn't bury Baroness like the Needle Drop did.
