They'll give it a 7.8 so it can still be below The King of Limbs.

If the new stuff is crap then the likes of Florence and the Machine in your sig and The Resistance is the arse spraying mayhem that is diarrhoea.

How the hell would we know? We haven't even heard the album ourselves. Let's wait and find out, then we'll be happy if it gets a rating we think it deserves, or we won't give a fuck if it doesn't please us.

Yep, their news coverage is some of the best around. I just can't take the majority of their reviews seriously. It seems to me that they're more interested in page views than giving honest reviews. Controversial reviews are just another trick to rake in the page views.

The Final Track · 16-08-2011, 06:51 PM

For the record, when I look at reviews for albums I'm considering getting Pitchfork is one of those that mean the most. Even if they hate it.

Coldplay3277 · 16-08-2011, 08:42 PM

i personally hate Pitchfork
but my score-3.5
But I wonder what Rolling Stones will give it? if the album is BEYOND great it'll be a 3 and 1/4
since they gave Lady Gaga's new album a 4 out of 5, and the album was ungodly bad
and Fleet Foxes 2nd album shouldnt of gotten that high of a score, same for Kayne West -.-

chuck kottke · 16-08-2011, 08:59 PM

pitch fork - is that a tuning fork, a dining fork, a hay fork, or a manure fork?

Critics can criticize all they want, let's see any one of them make real good music for a change!

It's a speculative thread, duh. Of course none of us know. You should go to all the threads in this section of the forum and just say "How the hell would we know?"

When you make a prediction, you make a prediction about the unknown.

No.

^ They're like two completely different entities. I don't think there can be any comparison. AROBTTH was completely stripped-down, cathartic and visceral. VLV was creative, artistic, and based on a theme.

MrMagpie · 16-08-2011, 11:24 PM

a bad one

Skin&Bones · 16-08-2011, 11:32 PM

The theme? Well... I liked it

Don't get me wrong, their old stuff was great and I loved it (admittedly more than VLV), but I'm extremely happy they're looking for ways to evolve. The fifth album is only the second album after the trilogy, there could definitely be more to this 'new' Coldplay than we like to think. I think it's perfectly normal for an old(er) fan to be skeptical about the direction a band is going, but I guess I just don't care because I absolutely loved Viva! I sure do hope that doesn't start an argument...
