9.0 rating + BNM status on Pitchfork.

I hate the way Pitchfork determines and decides how successful an album is. I hate that every publication in the world could hate an album, but if Pitchfork loves it, it's a success, even if it bombs. I hate this because they have ultimate veto power over everything, and they can damage a career by giving an artist a low rating.
But I'm not going to lie.... I'm psyched and relieved that Pitchfork and NPR both seem to hear the album the way I hear it.
I haven't read the review yet. Will get to it in the am. It's late and I must get to sleep, but I think we can call it at this point: TLOP is a success. Even if it flops commercially.
