Well, there isn't necessarily anything wrong with that. Sometimes I will listen to an album and not think much of it, then hear someone else talk about it who reveals aspects I hadn't previously considered. However, if you decide to like the album because Pitchfork has given it there approval, you need to grow a backbone. Unfortunately, there is a lot of great music out there that people wont give a chance because it has been dismissed by blog sites such as this. Don't get me wrong though, I think Pitchfork are often spot-on with their reviews. Just not of bands that apply some shiny pop sensibilities or a healthy dose of bombast.

Yeah dude, you're possibly shallow. You use the word 'meh' instead of average, and yep, according to your own story, it's possible a Ptichfork review alone brought an album you thought was a six up to a 8.5 or something...

it's also possible that some albums take more than a no-attention-span ipod scan for the hooks and obvious singles to really appreciate, and maybe your first listen simply acclimated you to the music and sound and the 2nd listen actually let things sink in. Not busting on you personally because I have a friend who readily admits he dismisses an album after a listen then after 2 more listens realizes it's genius or whatever.

Might I recommend you stop reading reviews and just listen to whatever's playing at the party, bar, in the car of your friend, etc. then maybe check reviews of the band to see what the highest rated album is?

I looked for it, too. Definitely one of my favorite remixes, debatably better than Lisztomania itself. Wonder why?

I enjoy White Lies, but I admit that their slower tracks are quite weak in my opinion.

What, so they should apply the standard Call of Duty grapical treatment to a game about playing in a band? Photo realistic eh? It's called a design direction- the graphics fit the game and look crisp("good"). You fail.

You are not the first to point this out. Unfortunately, the post solves nothing.
I bought Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix without reading anything about it and thought it was just meh(save for 1901, Liszt,Love L.A.S. Pt 2). I got on Pitchfork and read that it got an 8.5 and all their reasons why it deserved such a respectable rating. The next morning in the car, *BAM!* great cd all the way through. Maybe I'm shallow, but I'm just saying Pitchfork(and the rest of the interwebs) give me a different perspective on things. Call it what you want.

I'm gonna think of this and laugh for a couple of years now.
