Retro Review - Pitchfork

Pitchfork reviews Retro. www.pitchforkmedia.com

It's a harsh rating, but I agree with most everything said in there.

Originally posted by KW1 I agree with most everything said in there.

Including the bit about SAGT being "stupendous"?

The original Temptation is 'rancid, demo-quality'???? And the pointless 87 version is 'lush, world famous'????

Crystal is a remix of A Forest???

Still an interesting read though.

It seems the guy is doing an "Alan Green" from 606 on 5Live and trying to wind everyone up!!

bloody working tho :lol

And you can't really forgive him for saying 'Sunrise' is the most boring track from Low Life!&

I tend to like pitchfork, however. They're my #1 music site these days..

But he called Sunrise boring while praising Face-up!

must write like telegram. fewer words more chance appear.

review bad. judgements odd. not bad rating problem. but rate good bad and bad good.

I said I agree with MOST of it, not ALL. Sunrise=boring, Face up=one of thier best.

and i happen to love 'such a good thing'

I love the Cure and I think calling Crystal a rip off of any Cure song (expecially Forest) a lame thought that was expelled through the writer's arse and somehow splattered on that review.

I'd dont agree with a negative review of NewOrder. but thats hardly surprising now is it..!

such a good thing IS such a good thing. the bloke in question does indeed know his material and subject. an ocean apart does not put us yanks "touching from a distance".

But he say original temptation bad, 87 version good. He nuts.
