Also, I discovered some bands from the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack when I was a kid. I'm glad there wasn't a web site around to tell me how uncool I was to like it.

A good review would have pissed off their core fanbase and a bad review would eliminate any remaining shred of integrity that they still have since most of the performers fit the pitchfork "brand" perfectly and they'd be admitting that they're basing the review solely on the Twilight image and not on the music. @Nicolars: That’s why it’s so funny, if they hadn’t reviewed it at all then the ommission would have been really obvious since they’ve been reporting on it for months.
