    Pitchfork s--- all over Ed Sheeran's new album. 2.8/10 wow. You have to appear super artsy...but a lot of the time the artists they like come across as faux artsy...with "unique" production, over the top peacock style with a "peculiar" voice...that's what some critics eat up. It's like they look for artists to be cartoon characters.

    I would take John Wall over ANY other point guard in the league right now. I said in 2013 on old JCN site, future MVP.

    If you dress like this you'll most likely get a 9.9/10 from Pitchfork[​IMG]

    Pitchfork reviews are a joke half of the time. No way is the album a 2.8.

    There are so many greats it's hard to choose, especially choosing THE greatest.

    One that springs to mind without thinking is B.I.G. - I Got A Story To Tell

    What's amazing about him is that he had surgeries on both knees in the summer. He almost doesn't have weakness in his game, except his jumpshot is still little bit off sometimes. In a year or two once he gets that falling on nightly basis, he's gonna be unstoppable. Hope he stays injury free.

    Brenda's Got A Baby is one of the best.

    4YEO is for sure up there.

    I like Stan by Em, too

    Castle on the Hill is also great. And I think Perfect is one of the best songs in his discography. The song dedicated to parents, "Nancy Mulligan" is catchy and the song "Supermarket Flowers" about his mom is really really sweet. It's on par with his first two albums. That Pitchfork review is just absurd.

    Nav Bhatia Bitch, be humble

    To be fair, 2.8 is an abysmal rating, and p4k is awful. But, this album wasn't as strong as his first two imo. His songwriting on tracks like new man was sooo bad. And songwriting is usually his strength. There isn't any tracks at the level of a thinking out loud, or photograph, and there's no real step forward you know? I love ed, but I was let down with this project. I'd give it a 5/10

    I'm getting the feeling out section gonna be revoked soon haha

    I guess we the only ones in here and it's only slightly active.

    Anyways on another note... I'm starting to think Dreamville spreading themselves to thin.

    Cole
    Omen
    Bas
    Cozz
    Ari
    Lute
    J.I.D

    Dope roster but gotta let everyone shine and that is going to be hard to do from here on out. Unless Cole takes a backseat and I don't really want that to happen.

    I don't think it will. People want it deleted but, Cole is active and might release something new before the world tour. They should delete other sections before this one.

    Yeah I agree with @Nav Bhatia. I enjoyed Multiply a lot more. I can appreciate the ballad tracks that he does but there are too many on here and not really his strength. Personally would have preferred more songs like Eraser but thats not gonna fly with most of his fanbase. Just find a lot of this quite mediocre. Still doing absurd things in the charts tho, the whole album has taken up most of the top 20 singles in the UK

    All them can release at any time imo, i never understood how people think labels gotta give one artist at a time shine. They can all do their own thing. The more the better,

    Like j.i.d dropped this month, lute can drop may imo or even next month
