My favorite example (from #49! Just two albums into the list!): "The whole album, ragged at the edges and bloody with tone, is swollen in the best way, and it crests from peak to peak across 13 tracks that are at once meditative and eruptive."</p> <p> That's probably the most suggestive thing ever written about an album put out on BPitch Control.</p> This feature contains plenty of the same hilarious writing featured in yesterday’s song list.

That’s probably the most suggestive thing ever written about an album put out on BPitch Control.

They wouldn't rate on an 80's compilation. Or maybe they would, but it would be the song you skip over between Yello and Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark. </p> <p> To make matters worse, are the Pitchfork capsules: "Karin Dreijer's voice, which starts off sounding painfully human, turns into some kind of vacuum-cleaner demon halfway through, and then starts accompanying itself with the insistent keening of some killer bird with enormous claws that lives out in the snow."</p> <p> How long did it take to come up with that? Days or minutes? Lester Bangs, come back please. These people are hopeless. </p> The Knife is laughable. They wouldn’t rate on an 80’s compilation.

To make matters worse, are the Pitchfork capsules: “Karin Dreijer’s voice, which starts off sounding painfully human, turns into some kind of vacuum-cleaner demon halfway through, and then starts accompanying itself with the insistent keening of some killer bird with enormous claws that lives out in the snow.”

How long did it take to come up with that? Days or minutes? Lester Bangs, come back please. These people are hopeless.

Arctic Monkeys, “overrated”?

Oh, man, I’m gonna have so much fun skewing y’all’s poll with my sucky Top 10s….

It's one of those records that takes a long time to sink in, but when it does, it's unequivocally brilliant. Lots of weed also helps. Uh but that Liars record is garbage. I tried really hard to like it but no dice. If any one knows what kind of drugs it takes to enjoy 1 hour of drumming and weird sonic blips, I'd love to get hipped in on the secret. </p> Not to come off like some sort of weird Spencer Krug fanboy or anything, but Sunset Rubdown is definitely more than okay.

It used to be fun to check their list twice in the past. This is as much fun to parse as a spreadsheet file. It's just so reasonable!</p> I’m with you on consensus.
