"Everybody Makes Mistakes."

It's undeniably on point. And by on point I mean 100% correct.

I don't know. They were the place where Black Kids first caught hype, and it's not like the band changed incredibly. They are essentially the same band they gave a 8.4 to. It kind of smells like backpedaling when they realized the band wasn't that amazing.

Still, it is pretty ballsy. Except not as cool as the Jet "Get Born" review.

the jet review was much funnier.

this one seems silly b/c P-fork championed this band less than 1 yr ago.

have you heard the album yet, andrew?

its a far cry from the ep. completely unlistenable. i didnt think the ep was horrible, but they managed to ruin every track on there except for maybe one.

Yeah I heard it. The production has more sheen (in this case, that's a bad, bad thing), and I think the fun that used to be evident on their songs has kind of vaporized. 

The thing is is that a lot of the problems of the band (i.e. weak songwriting, hokey new-wave sound) were all there a year ago. I think this is what happens when you jump on bands that aren't really out of the gestation period yet. The hype was way too soon to make a quality judgement on the band, and now Pitchfork has had to backpedal.   

I thought this was hilarious. that album is really too bad to deserve any words. however, it's kinda shitty that the album was originally posted with a 0.0 and now it's up to 3.something.

Here's Jason Gross' take:
