What score will Pitchfork give Coldplay?

MrMagpie · 16-08-2011, 12:41 AM

It's no secret, Pitchfork doesn't like Coldplay. Sure they will post all their news and review their albums, but they definitely make more than a few jokes at their expense.
Now the other side of the coin here is that as pretentious as Pitchfork are, they have a pretty big audience and are pretty influential, especially when with the mainstream indie crowd.

So what will they score the album? I feel like they could put out a masterpiece and it will still get a shit rating. You can vote and also write down your exact prediction. Winner gets theoretical cake.

If you just come into this thread and diss pitchfork I will diss you right back.

Maybe they're gonna give them a good rating but still insult and write shit about Coldplay?

4.8

Us Coldplay fans are too uncool for Pitchfork.

I'm feeling a 3.8

the_gloaming09 · 16-08-2011, 12:50 AM

I'd say maybe like a 5.2

...though I really should've picked 4.2

I just went through and read their reviews for Coldplay....DAMN! So low! Why?!

MrMagpie · 16-08-2011, 12:58 AM

They don't like them that much. I guess it just doesn't stimulate their reviewers.

I see what you did thar.

Well, if they have a history of giving Coldplay low ratings even for fantastic albums, then I would say that they aren't going to break tradition now.

6.8.
Because i know it.

Tnspieler1012 · 16-08-2011, 01:12 AM

They were generous with Viva La Vida, I expect a fall back to mediocrish. 4.0-5.5 at best.

I think I'd give it a 7.1 so far.

I just wanted to say there's no hard feelings between me and the fanboys/girls over my comments in my disappointment of the band.
