here's a good article about pitchfork from slate.com: http://www.slate.com/id/2154469

"[the reviews are] dense without being insightful, personal without being interesting."

love that.

An amazing way of putting it.
It is all about the self-referential irony, after all.

So post-modern.

The article links to a parody site that subpop did which is really just hilarious:

outside of the 1-10 point rating system, I rarely have any clue of what they think of any CD or release.

That is so spot-on that it's incredibly brilliant.

That was a good article.

I read Pitchfork mainly for the music news, but I find their reviews helpful. I don't actually read most of them, but at this point I know Pitchfork's tastes, and can usually get an idea about whether I would like an album based on the score and a couple of lines.
