This is very true. I searched their site and they've only reviewed The Fame Monster and Joanne. You actually don't find many major pop girl albums in their review catalog. So even if the score could have been just a little better, I'm grateful Joanne was even worthy of their attention.
As pretentious as Pitchfork can come off sometimes, they are regarded highly in the music community so I will take that 6.9.
Exactly! I was afraid they'd give Joanne a 40 after the lashings they gave PI.
Love your avi and your first two stanned artists, btw
Pitchfork review is fair. Probably the 2nd best review I've read for this album so far. Didn't agree with all of it but the part about PI and her thought process toward the album itself mirrored my inclinations in a more articulate way.
