Finneas reacts to Pitchfork’s 6.8 review of ‘HIT ME HARD AND SOFT’:

“Nothing cool about writing a positive review of an album everyone likes - they’ve gotta have an angle. They gave ‘Born To Die’ a 5.5 - it’s their whole hater-ass bag.” pic.twitter.com/kOS9PP5Jax

Or maybe it’s not that good

[swissbeauty23]

why do you say that? what about it do you find weak?

[duchello]

Apart from a couple of standout songs as an opener, the latter half didn't resonate with me. There's some cool production throughout but I'm not into the songs with barely there talk vocals.

Right, I was incredibly underwhelmed by the album. Don't think I even bothered to finish it.

I mean...6.8 is still relatively positive?

[nermal_kat]

but a 68 out of 100 is thisclose to failing

[my_moloko]

Failing? The way American's score things confused the fuck out of me.

[cbluechicken]

Anything under 65 is failing I believe but that's just the nyc school system lol

[butterflyblot]

Ppl love the cred of a positive p4k review but do a 180 and flip out when the reviews are anything less than 7.0 lmao

I thought pitchfork no longer existed, and was part of GQ.

Surprisingly happy to see they are still around to annoy artists with their bad reviews.

Don't react to their whole hater-ass bag, Finneas! You know you made a good album, that's all that matters!

[screamingintune]

it's still around, i think it's about to be folded into GQ?

[donaestrangera]

i don't agree with pitchfork's score but the review itself was fair and well-written. there's nothing to be upset about here.

i do think it's funny how much stan twitter (and now finneas) calls pitchfork irrelevant and then melts down over bad scores, like which one is it? on pitchfork's part they've been giving nearly every pop girl (except beyoncé) lower scores this year, making me think they figured out it gets more clicks lol.
