It's a piece of JUNK!

I was listening to "Magic" (BFF's best in my opinion) today, and was reminded that this review exists. If you aren't familiar, Brent DiCrescenzo is the most pretentious and insufferable reviewer of all time, and is probably the reason that most people associate Pitchfork with snobbiness

Oh man, I love me a good (?) DiCrescenzo review and that one does not disappoint. Not going to bother pulling choice quotes because the entire thing is like a self-parody. Aside from the one boring paragraph where he attempts to talk about the music.

(As a reminder, he retired from Pitchfork about 14 years ago. I remember this because his review of the Beastie Boys' 2004 release To the Five Buroughs is mostly him announcing his retirement.)
