    Remember Fruitopia? How good that sounded for a couple minutes? They'd roll out these big, beautiful kaleidoscopic ads before movies sometimes, swarming strawberries in stereo, and you'd look down at your Cherry Coke and feel somehow as though you'd failed. Of course, in the lobby's light, you came to find out that Fruitopia was not in fact made by hippies using ecologically sound methods for growing giant fruit, but rather extracted and besaccharined by the very Coca-Cola corporation that had seemed like the source of so much pancreas-punching horror not moments before. Fruitopia was, in a way, more evil than your simple soda; evil, because it tricked you into believing it was good when it wasn't.

    Remember Ima Robot? Ima Robot were one of those bandwagon-hopping jerk-punk bands that emerged around 2003 to capitalize on the burgeoning jerk-punk moment; there were many, alas. As nicely zeitgeisty as their leadoff single "Dynomite" was, there was always something weirdly disingenuous about Ima Robot-- that they were basically Beck's then-current backing band led by some shouty haircut probably had something to do with it-- but they came and went so fast it was hard to find the time to care. They weren't evil, but they weren't missed.
    That's like Pitchfork.

    I think for the most part, they are accurate as a whole, but some individual writers overrate certain acts, like Tyler The Creator,and some underrate certain acts, like Eminem.

    I think you should stick back to your one liner gimmick.

    I guess you just can't grasp the concept of high quality reviews.

    Reviews are spot on

    Ratings are a bit extreme, but justifiable

    People should take the time to actually read the review instead of just looking to the rating.

    Overall i think they're dope. Obviously they will get some stuff 'wrong' but write better reviews than most other major publications. People just get mad when their favorite albums dont get a high enough score.
