Screw Pitchfork.

They just gave Anathallo's "Floating World" a bottom-barrell rating for no good reason: they don't sound enough like Sufjan Stevens (who is apparently so awesome even his B-sides are above-average-- though AMG's Stephen Thomas Erlewine would certainly disagree), they're too prog, too overreaching, too ambitious.

What's more, Gorilla VS. Bear agrees with me (he culls together some great opinions, relatively diverse except for "Rubies" showing up at least three times), on the best records of the year so far here

And is this P4K's lead when one of the greatest, most eccentric frontmen in rock 'n' roll history dies? Is this the first thing that comes to your, or anyone else's mind? "The recent death of Syd Barrett will lead to talk about his drug abuse, his retreat from music, and his legend."

A complete lack of condolence or even emotion, much less AP style (though I suppose that's hardly among P4K's concerns-- in addition to, y'know, having a soul).
