Long live the wire

>The Wire

lol I bet you read The Quietus too

>>50680304
Pharmakon is much better than the vast majority of PE anyway.

>>50680998
Nah, but it's safe to say that the wire are infinitely better than pitchfork.
They actually cover and care about underground and experimental music.

Had this in my backlog, probably won't bother now.

Thanks Pitchfork...

>these people exist
I mean good foe her that she's getting p4k hype, but damn.

>>50680304
I know for a fact you're fucking Johnny Ca$h. Show yourself fat fuck piece of shit.

>>50681281

p4k cover a lot of experimental and underground stuff, it just gets overshadowed because they focus mostly on overexposing their flavor-of-the month band

>>50681357
Gee whiz, you got me bitch. :^)

>>50680304
I've never listened to noise or power electronics until I listened to this and Abandon. I really liked them both. If they're both derivative, who are the artists I should check out instead?

>>50681369

what a clusterfuck of a post, sorry im a bit tired, my point stands though

>>50681369
No they don't. They do a review of an experimental album once in a while, and settle on a score between 7.0 and 7.9 to be safe.
They don't cover shit.

>>50681432
The big merzdog is always a good place to start.
If you want to ease yourself into the genre i'd go: tim hecker -> ben frost -> wolf eyes/yellow swans -> keiji haino and his bands -> kazumoto endo -> merzbow

>>50681622

yes they do, like i said they just give more (a shitload more) attention to other things

>the sense of control provides a sense of structure
seriously?
insert lame self-aggrandizing comment about high school writing here, but goddamn, seriously?
that's just butt fucking terrible

pharmakon is so fucking overrated i remember i passed on seeing her to see ben ufo once and i DONT Regret it. Fucking techno/power electronics in general can suck a dick, most of it has been way too samey in the past 2 years

>all of these ppl itt caring about larry "why does this retard have a job" fitzmaurice

>>50681432
they're not that derivative btw, just not generally the kind of thing PE fans are into, mostly cause she's really making death industrial, and a sort of sleek, pop-influenced-dynamics version of it
but it's really not that derivative

>>50681835
I'm pretty sure their reviews are slowly becoming complete nonsense that sounds vaguely like criticism

>>50681792
Havent seen the outdoors thing before, that's a nice surprise.
My biggest problem is that their reviews on experimental albums are always pretty lukewarm.
You will rarely, if ever see an experimental/avant garde act get BNM. and i realise that the BNM tag was essentially made for labels to buy a good review, but it's sad because that's what 90% of p4ks readerbase care about.

>>50681980

well i agree with you there, i realize p4k is bullshit 99% of the time, their rating system is retarded and they overhype artists just to stay relevant and probably get paid for good reviews. but despite all that i still think they do a "decent" job.

>>50681792

Why isn't this just p4k?
Easy to read reviews without scores.
People actually pay attention when you remove the TL;DR element

>>50680304
seriously this only gets a attention because its from a semi attractive grill

But is the album any good, guys?

>>50681357
it's actually not me I hate that loser

Their BNM's are on point and the albums that get awarded BNM usually deserve it because they work as albums and aren't boring as shit like you're shitty avant-garde ambient post-rock shit so just because they don't get a BNM doesn't mean P4k caters to pop...i do agree that sometimes they overrate and hype bands up but so do most of you shitheads on here

>>50681432
people are mad because this means it's going to be hip to like harsh noise or power electronics and shitters who read pitchfork will flood the scene and ruin everything

blackhouse - holy war
con-dom
haus arafna
brighter death now
atrax morgue
magmax
whitehouse - total sex

that's mostly P.E

pharmkon isn't bad imo i honestly think it's mostly that noise has historically been men only

but yeah men do generally release more. the men only thing is blatantly untrue though
