Not the band's fault pretentious people deem them a bandwagon to be jumped onto though.

But what I'm saying is, in my opinion, most of those bandwagons aren't worth jumping on (think Panda Bear).

I agree with a lot of their high ratings, but I disagree with far more of them.

There are albums they've pretty much taken a dump on that I really like. Just goes to show all reviews should be taken with a grain of salt, no matter the source.

Exactly. Frequenters of this site will have their blogs of choice and such as a more consistent source for new music, but for the more casual listener, Pitchfork probably seems like a godsend compared to Rolling Stone or w/e.
