Re: R.I.P. Stylus.
ya. like scott I have almost entirely stopped reading music reviews... I find them a bit pretentious, and a number of them seem to pretend to like things that just aren't good to me... Downloading is a way better way to see if you like something... Now that is gone for the time-being too

Re: R.I.P. Stylus.
what if pitchfork did die?
instead of me not caring with stylus i might actually be a little happy about that. any website that can see someone go down in flames because of a goose-egg rating should be reset. it's not even worth it for the good reviews, like the one they did for The Field. while i'm not 100% tired of music reviews (it's getting there), i've actually found that i'm geting very tired of movie reviews.... |

Re: R.I.P. Stylus.
Who gives a mouse's turd, anyway? Both Stylus and particularly Pitchfork are practically unreadible from their snobbery and bias. Though i do visit the latter for their occasionally fun-to-look at American Apparel ads
Face it, if you really like a band, reviewers will almost always irk you, and if you choose your music based on what a critic writes, you're not listening hard enough.

As said before I never though of Stylus as snobbish, that was the main distinction with Pitchfork, they really had to try to cover everything and review it on its own terms be it Top 100 pop, crunk, country, dance, trance, metal or w/e. They never had that attitude of "this is what the cool kids are listening to".

Yes, i have listened to music based on someone's good word...the words of people i know and respect and who can eloquently describe why i should give it a try. I don't know or respect Joe Pitchfork or Billy Stylus. Their tone and uninformed reviews say it all. Do i need to dig up examples of the lack of thought that goes into these critiques? Critiques are subjective, yes, and that's fine, but when they're not particularly well-written nor do they concentrate on the music itself but rather the scene surrounding it, that's the difference.
