Honestly though, I'd be surprised if it gets more than an 8.5. Pitchfork has been having a tendency of lowballing albums based on their current metacritic scores/other people's attitudes towards it; at least they've been doing that lately.

well they do have to account for 'accessibility' in their scores. if something is too hard and they rate it too high then they might ruin their credibility as a source for easy, digestible, 'indie' music which must be what 90% of their web traffic depends on them for. so they are aware that they can't be too adventurous and STH might be too 'out there' especially with those ambient tracks.

The Seer wasn't exactly the most dissonant record, but it was hardly the most accessible record from last year, and it was #5 on their end of the year list after receiving a 9. I honestly think a lot of this has to do with preconceived notions and that people are right in saying that Pitchfork play it safe these days by giving an album a score that is near their already-existing metacritic score. They've been doing it a lot recently.

I like the ambient tracks. Literally the only part that I don't like is the "Let's talk about gender baby/ let's talk about you and me" part in "Full of Fire." The rest of the song is so fucking cool and then that little couplet is just... there. The voice transformation they do with the vocal is cool but the line itself is pretty mediocre. Honestly one of the only things making me do anything other than wholeheartedly endorse this album.

As for Old Dreams: finally someone did something new with Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Even Godspeed themselves didn't pull it off as well. Actually seriously, listen to it back to back with "We Drift Like Worried Fire." They are pretty similar!

I don't think that their writing on the whole was ever shit, but they've always hired shitty writers despite the fact that they suck at reviewing music. It's funny, because Ryan's reviews were the worst at times, and he was the fucking founder. Then you had guys like Jason Josephes that actually wrote good reviews for Pitchfork back in the day, and Ryan got rid of him and some of his reviews for some crazy reason, keeping Brent DiCrescenzo, a fucking horrible writer, around for 4 more years. They have great writers, but Ryan Schreiber has made some very bad decisions.

Simply a waste.

In the post-modernist world we live in today, it's oh so common to see something as this is. A golden covered trove of wonders to be exploited by the disgusting varmint of the world. There is no reasoning behind a matter such as that of moliminous as this. Opening off with what seems to be only the tip of another bulimarexia in the world, it seems as if all predictions were correct. I try to go into anabasises with an open mind, yet this one I felt challenged. I knew from the very beginning I was listening only to hyped up novelty, that of eremite and related. It felt like nothing had ever showed up, nothing had ever gone.

I continued my listening and nothing was a surprise. The dermatoglyphics of the non-music and often dull points made this extremely displeasing, and as such there was nothing to be gained. Nothing to be desired, nothing to ever make any change. It's simply a seriatim, to be forgotten merely days into the future. The future seems impossible for this electronic duo, however, and it only shows how naive and anxious they were to pump out whatever they could with no quality control whatsoever. The varmints ate it up. The longueur made no difference to them, as though an Orwellian. It was not only a waste of our precious time, but a waste of my ears. It left nothing to be desired, you cannot improve upon a piece such as this. Only look back and olla podrida. The malapropism wasn't anything different from works such as Merriweather Post Pavillion or The Money Store. Yet we treat us such, different. What are the differences in these? Therblig, and we all can't simply put our minds around it. And that's the auditory tricks of The Knife, again, the disgusting varmint of the music world. Simply put it on in the background and smile and nod, but it's simply jericho all in the end, a pile of something not tangible by us.

I don't think that's a valid representation of their score, at least from Pitchfork's side and how they tend to do things.

They gave TIAY a fucking 6.9 the plebs

But the last paragraph of the review is interesting:

"The uninterrupted stretch of "Pigeons" into "Seeds" is the only moment on Tomorrow, in a Year where this is recognizably the work of the Knife, and not coincidentally it's the most thrilling and vital music on the record.

Reconciling their boundless ambitions with their crowd-pleasing instincts, they hit upon a sweet spot that only Laurie Anderson and few others have managed to locate-- a clearing where pop and the avant-garde meet and make each other freshly strange and inviting.

Who knows what kind of reception this will receive; if it's any kind of prologue to an epiphany that allows whole albums of music as inspired as "Pigeons" and "Seeds", however, maybe we'll look back at it in five years as the moment the Knife first went next level"

Is STH that next level?

>> No.34852287

>>34852226
They haven't always done that. Up until 2010 or right around that time, they really had a knack for dissecting an album from writer to writer on a personal level. Now it feels like the website as a whole is saturated with reviews that appeal only to people familiar with the piece of music being reviewed already, almost like they're tagging along instead of leading. Even individual writers who have been around for years aren't writing as good as they used to, apart from a few of the better ones. That's just mah onion though.

Its weakest points are defended as "genius subliminal messaging, 3deep5u patrician-core", when in reality the album is full of junk that if skimmed out, would make the album as a whole much more enjoyable to a broader audience.

It appeals to a specific audience, so it should be no surprise that /mu/ is a house divided when it comes to this album.

By now it’s routine: any act who’s ever touched a synth will, at some point in their career, either namedrop or get compared to the Knife. Just a few of them: Icona Pop, Niki and the Dove, Lykke Li, Purity Ring, AlunaGeorge, Kate Boy, Chairlift, CHVRCHES, Charli XCX, iamamiwhoami, Grimes, Robyn, even Britney Spears when she was all innovative. Just as a Kate Bush comparison has become standard for any female vocalist whose voice is a little loopy, or a Fiona Apple comparison for anyone shedding feelings, the Swedish duo is now shorthand for any act, from Sweden or not, who makes dance music slightly a-kilter. The comparisons aren’t wrong — in Deep Cuts’ deep cuts are the blueprints for about half of 2012’s indie-pop hits.

It’s just that now the Knife, for their first proper album in years, has delivered a Foucault-quoting concept slab instead, where the “singles” are umpteen-minute sonic threshers and everything else is doomy sprawl. And it’s great.

I love Deep Cuts, but mine it inspired some shit clones
