Pretension: It can happen to you.

The Onion

Pitchfork Gives Music 6.8

CHICAGO—According to the review, the popular medium that predates the written word shows promise but nonetheless "leaves the listener wanting more."

God, how I love the Onion. Pitchfork, for those who don't know, is known for giving extremely harsh and pretentious reviews for albums, and they rate them on a 10 point scale, including decimals. And if you're an indie kid, you probably take Pitchfork's opinion into way too much consideration. Not that I'm not guilty... the first place I use to check out a review is Pitchfork, and if they say it's bad then I usually believe them. Except in the case of Neutral Milk Hotel's "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea", in which they gave them a perfect 10, and I really don't like it very much. Anyways, read the article.
