The title says it all really. The Pitchfork review of the new Black Kids album Partie Traumatic, which I am avoiding for now, has been replaced with two adorable pug dogs saying sorry.The review is here.
So they allegedly helped hype the band in the first place then slammed the album? People are saying that the 3.3/10 review was originally a 0/10 as the screenshot shows.
Pitchfork say that the 0/10 was a typo and the editor, who is credited with the review (if you can call it that), changed it to 3.3.
Anyway, this makes an important point. So what if some internet review site gives an album a low score. Ok they hyped them up based on an initial EP but the band couldn't follow it up with a decent album. You don't just score high because you somehow feel obligated to. Do you? And are Pitchfork really THAT important to make a fuss about?
