  • The most pretentious record review ever?

    I mean, I'm not that well versed in pretentio-journalism, but this has to rank somewhere up there: Radiohead: Kid A

    It's from Pitchfork Media. Naturally.

    You actually read record reviews?

    PS: After reading the review, I know why I never read reviews!

      Not as a matter of course. However, I was pointed to the direction of this... umm, masterpiece? No, masturbiece.

        Well, perhaps the guy doesn't have enough talent to be a proper journalist, so he concentrates on making record reviews like this one now

            I thought this was a poll, and was going to reply: "anything by snappy"...

                    "The experience and emotions tied to listening to Kid A are like witnessing the stillborn birth of a child while simultaneously having the opportunity to see her play in the afterlife on Imax. It's an album of sparking paradox. It's cacophonous yet tranquil, experimental yet familiar, foreign yet womb-like, spacious yet visceral, textured yet vaporous, awakening yet dreamlike, infinite yet 48 minutes."

                        It's a good disc that I hated upon first listening.

                        There shtick is getting old, though. There's only so much existential angst I can stomach.

                          When will we start getting "black yet white?"

                            Those are not paradoxes. Those are contradictions.
