Unless you were living under a rock (or don’t read record reviews) and didn’t see it, you probably have an opinion about Pitchfork’s review of Black Kids’ Partie Traumatic. Well, so does Black Kids frontman Reggie Youngblood, who responded to the review in an interview with MTV.
Youngblood claims he prefers Pitchfork’s review (a picture of two pugs saying “Sorry” and a paltry 3.3) 10 times out of ten instead of a review that just says, “Uh, it’s okay.” He acts like he generally doesn’t care (he says he knew a bad review was coming) but at the beginning he says (kind of jokingly, kind of not-- he looks kind of sad) he thought the picture would lead to a 10.
Either way, hopefully the debate over the merits of the review will be behind us.

um, i agreed with the 3.3. but i take that back and deduct 2 more for being on mtv and another .7 for not knowing how to hold or talk into a mic. that leaves them with a 0.6.
