Some people might be curious why I always give links to Pitchfork reviews. Well, Bono explains it very well on the interview he did with them last week. Check it from the 4:55 mark to the end. However, I think music blogs such as ours still have a little advantage that makes a huge difference in the end : we can be politically incorrect. Most of the time, we're polite because we’re always talking about bands we love. But we do have that possibility... Pitchfork critics are very clever, but they miss that sincerity sometimes. For example, the guy in the interview could just not have mentioned that Pitchfork gave 4.2/10 to No Line On The Horizon, while Les Oiseaux Exotiques wouldn't have hesitated to dis U2 in a face-to-face interview. Eh eh...
