Music: Pitchfork’s Kanye West review today is a rare beast

  • 04/02 the last time the site gave the marker to a new album (Wilco’s “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot“); And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead got one two months earlier
  • 11/10 the last time the site gave a 10.0 to a reissue (Weezer’s “Pinkerton“), which is much more common – Pitchfork often gives the hallowed 10.0 in retrospect
  • 04/05 the last time an album got a 10.0 AND a 0.0, which Robert Pollard’s WTF stage-banter oddity “Relaxation of the Asshole” got; technically it’s a 5.0 source
