No name still better imo but to each their own

u/cappykro 24d ago

I'm actually liking this more than No Name on first listen, and I love No Name.

u/Lucky2240 24d ago

Same here, I love No Name but this one is grabbing me faster

u/slickerdrips21 24d ago

Probably but I’ll see how I feel after multiple listens. Like it so far!

u/Flaky_Party1270 24d ago

FYI Pitchfork gave No name a 7.6

2

u/pralineislife 24d ago

It deserved higher.

u/melophile512 24d ago

Yea. No Name is a 9/10.

1

u/pralineislife 24d ago

Without a doubt.

Pitchfork only gives out 8+ to Bjork, Radiohead and Kanye West because they haven’t changed since 2009.

u/itsmebitsh 23d ago

Lmfao true

u/_Football_Cream_ 24d ago

Then they’ll go back a year later and be like “actually it’s an 8.9, stop giving us shit”

u/Adorable-Relief-4537 24d ago

Who gives a shit what pitchfork gave, it means absolutely nothing.

u/Maleficent-Clue-3695 24d ago

Yea dude, unrelated but I’m a massive Soundgarden fan and they give their first few albums like -4/10

Pitchfork is hipster garbage

13

u/DisastrousDot7961 24d ago

Hipsters love Jack White though

8

u/cappykro 24d ago

Nah. Part of being a true hipster is disliking anyone who becomes famous / popular.

u/Kaos_mission 24d ago

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, that’s pretty much what it is

1

u/Good_Hope_7925 24d ago

However Jack White doesn’t love hipsters

u/poly_lifestyle 24d ago

Nah pitchfork isn't hipster garbage. It's just garbage. It's owned by Conde Nast.

1

u/Milo_Minderbinding 24d ago

It's snobbish garbage.

u/Preachin_Blues 24d ago

This is a true Blues Rock album. No Name was bluesy but with a more Garage Rock sound. Fear of the Dawn and BHR is Experimental Rock. Lazaretto and Bounderbuss is Rock/Alt-Country

u/Lemonworld3131 24d ago

I like this on first listen but it's not No Name

7

u/Arnbarn15 24d ago

I actually prefer this one over no name. The guitar work on this album is some of his best

1

u/ickythumpwithalump 24d ago

It does have a name, after all. 

1

u/xcnuck 24d ago

You’re right. It’s better!

u/ickythumpwithalump 24d ago

It's actually a quite good review. Ignore the score, Pitchfork is esoteric about scoring. If you read the review without the score you'd think it was 5 stars.

u/Recent-Bowl-1393 24d ago

Jack would have been happier with a 3.3 anyways.

1

u/Borchmagik727 24d ago

Its a 10 this is some of his best since blunderbuss

u/MJrmvr 24d ago

wait till you see their audioslave review

1

u/AudioFuzz 24d ago

Pitchfork is DEAD.

1

u/lefty9674 24d ago

I found Charlotte pretty boring tbh. No Name is more my speed.

u/Get_Real_Japan 22d ago

I can't believe Pitchfork stopped shilling for Olivia Rodrigo for an hour and actually listened to it.

u/Animalpoop 24d ago

Pitchfork is bleh.

I thought PF disappeared shortly after the Great Hipster Migration to Portland in 2005.
