More Pitchfork Nonsense

Today, Pitchfork refers to British Sea Power's Do you Like Rock Music?, as "an album that will either thrill or repel listeners depending on their taste for bombastic arena rock." In what will likely become another well publicized cop out, Pitchfork therefore rated the album U.2. Get it, U2. Terrible.

Fortunately, MetaCritic confirms the sentiment I had towards the album back in December. It's a damn fine piece of work.
