I hear “Pitchfork” given all this great import on this site and others. Why the fuck am I supposed to give more weight to their review than other music sites again?sweeper wrote:This is the real Pitchfork review: https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/pearl-jam-gigaton/
They gave it a 6.2. I think they started reviewing albums with Riot Act. These are the scores:
Gigaton: 6.2
Lightning Bolt: 5.0
Backspacer: 4.6
Avocado: 5.5
Riot Act: 4.9
In other words, the best album since at least Binaural. =)
