OFFICIAL and accurate 2016 BNM Tally: 39 Nights since last BNM: 0
The most wonderful time of the night, every night, right now. Here it is, the nightly P4K thread. Time to get comfy.
>Tonight's Top Stories -This thread stands with Kesha eternally -Any one go to Riot fest? -Drake to Cudi: “You’re Getting Way Too High” -This thread hypes and supports DIIV, Danny Brown, and Bon Iver. -/p4k/ forever
Let it go. Pitchfork era is over and gone. Just let go, user, less you become a new form of a dadrocker that can't let go.
Elijah Ross
It's too late for me
Brody Johnson
This thread rejects the rape culture hysteria of Amber Coffman, Jessica Hopper, Ke$ha, Larkin Grimm, Meagan Garvey, Pitchfork, et al.
Ryder Perez
OFFICIAL LIST OF ARTISTS THAT COULD STILL DETHRONE RADIOHEAD/CHANCE IF THEIR FORTHCOMING ALBUM ACTUALLY COMES OUT THIS YEAR
Danny Brown LCD Soundsystem Chromatics Bon Iver
and that's it?
Jeremiah Lewis
twigs
Hunter Allen
>Danny Brown maybe. p4k loves meme rap. >LCD Soundsystem no. critics are v. spiteful and petty, and music twitter was pissed that lcd said they'd be gone for good, only to come back 5 years later. >Chromatics no. too literally who. drive was a long time ago. and jonny jewel's tears makeup is stupid. >Bon Iver no. too much jesus stuff. only black music is allowed to do that without upsetting fedora music writers.
Kayden Cox
cool, didn't know she had an album on the way. LP1 really grew on me
Lucas Mitchell
nah, Dear Tommy will be GOAT
Caleb Adams
patten - 6.8
Chase Martinez
These are correct. I'm not sold on Dear Tommy's chances, but it's possible if they ever drop it. I'd rank the likelihood of each one breaking 9.1:
FKA Twigs > Danny Brown = Bon Iver >>> LCD Soundsystem > Chromatics
Surely we have some other year end surprise lined up though, right? Maybe the Flaming Lips? It's a long shot, but maybe they sobered up after several years of gimmicky bullshit.
Noah Green
Preoccupations 7.7 Gaslamp Killer 8.2 no BNM
Screencap this
Liam Murphy
Bon Iver is gonna release AOTD
Jose Morris
Yeah, she's been performing new songs for a while now. OPN worked on it, they both posted some cryptic studio(?) shot on their IGs back in April
Levi Garcia
It already leaked and it's mediocre af
William Price
I did just get into Fleetwood Mac this week. P4K gave Rumors a 10 though so can I have both?
Angel Ortiz
This was decided like a week ago. Danny will get AOTY
Blake Peterson
That bonnieboon album is 34 minutes. When was the last time they 9'd an album less than 35 mins?
Brand New might be dropping this year and their last two tracks got BNM. Granted, they were released a year apart, but they've been active recently.
Nolan Kelly
I would check this but Wikipedia deleted the article on p4k's BNMs, wtf
Thomas Flores
the wrens are going to save white indie this year
Tyler Watson
NIGHTLY RUNDOWN Preoccupations 7.9 by Marc Masters Robert Glasper Experiment 7.6 by Marcus J. Moore Mndsgn 7.7 by Nate Patrin Sumerlands 8.0 by Andy O'Connor
Brody Jenkins
i love white ppl too.
Levi Jenkins
hmm, was expecting a low BNM for preoccupations also >sumerlands literally who
Benjamin Cooper
7.9 keks
Elijah Jones
woah the sumerlands singer's the guy from atlantean kodex! excited to listen to this now
Robert Murphy
Why haven't they reviewed Local Natives' Sunlit Youth? Damn, I can only assume they will trash it.
Leo Evans
are you me? i literally just thought this and searched their site thinking i might have already missed their review.
Aaron Edwards
Haha, I was just listening to the album and have been loving it. Not really p4k-core quality but still good imo.
Julian Evans
>get cucked and bullied into changing your name >don't even get BNM the deserved it
Jack Reed
that band sucks and is corny af but p4k likes them
feel like they've wised up tho and will give it a deservingly bad scoree
Noah Collins
Fuck off. They're great. Some of their new record is indeed corny but it's really good imo.
Dylan Reed
It's been 10 days already. I don't know if they ever will.
Ian Evans
Could get up to some Real Estate score like 8.8 but idk if it'd hit 9, I'm a Local Natives fan too
David Ward
There are bands that get ignored from the get go(cage the elephant) or get reviewed after a few releases(title fight) but what acts do they stop reviewing after so long?
Jonathan Johnson
lmao, they'll be lucky to break 7.5.
Elijah Torres
this is the most delusional post i've read in p4k for quite some time
and remember when they took forever to review that Joey Bada$$ record? sorry Local Natives, a mild pan is heading your way
Adam Scott
It's arbitrary. They'll purposely review albums they hate to show how much they hate it. Others they find awful so they stop reviewing. Some they find mediocre or average and still stop reviewing. I don't think there's much of a pattern.
Gabriel Clark
Pretty much this. I really like the new record but really is not for P4K.
Thomas Rogers
Yeah I'm okay with that Preoccupations rating, a 7.9 is pretty much what I'd rate it too
Aaron Bailey
Got any examples of these?
Also, why did they write to talk about their hate for Alt-J? That just seemed like a silly way to be too trendy for what's trendy
Noah Robinson
I'm pretty sure the (sort of) same thing is going to happen for the new How to Dress Well album. They'll review it and will probably give it pretty good review (7.5-8.4) but it's still a shift to this sugary indie that's not p4k-core. But who knows, they loved Coloring Book.
Leo Foster
They didn't review the new POP ETC (formerly The Morning Benders) album released this year. They gave their 2012 self-titled a 2.5, after giving Big Echo an 8.2
Or Pixies' new stuff. They'll review it regardless how much they hate it because of their love for their early stuff.
Eli Cook
Does Pitchfork ever go out on a limb anymore (have they ever? seems like the did occasionally at one point in their history)? When was the last time they gave a glowing review to something the critical consensus was at least lukewarm toward and panned something they loved?
Jeremiah Taylor
See the Alt-J example above. I still don't know why they panned an awesome wave
Wyatt Hall
They loved Blueberry Boat (9.5), which had very mixed reviews.
Also, they gave The Shin's Port of Morrow an 8.4 when a lot of people were turning away from the band.
Also, the didn't like Demon Days.
Liam Murphy
Just leak the fucking album, Danny.
Kayden Garcia
not the best example but pom pom? it has a 75 on metacritic with pitchfork's 8.8 being the highest.
