That’s fine. Not everyone needs to “get it”. Some like it. Some don’t. Cool.
It seems perfectly normal for a large portion of passing readers to simply not care that much either way.
When I wrote this I was coming off another comment where the commenter seemed genuinely upset over the distribution medium. I think a little bit of my sentiment about that post dribbled through.
Even so, I wish people were more live-and-let-live about very subjective things like music. It’s a big world and art is not zero-sum.
Probably because of the extraordinary reception mentioned in the article and the claim that's being made? This is apparently the highest rating Pitchfork has handed out in half a decade and it's supposed to be an indicator of a major shift in the music industry.
That's quite a lot and after having listened to it I have to agree with the original poster, I don't really get it either. I expected the next Bowie after those reviews.
Have you found a good alternative?
