She implied that, but the pitchfork score is given by multiple people from their staff so her opinion alone doesn't it's not definitive.

 

That's what I always thought as well, but I read recently that the score comes from the reviewer alone.

[Wynwood 19,967]

all of the lyrics on NFR dont make any sense but thats ok because all these songs are fucking masterpieces

The only source I have regarding that is an article from 2011 that says the person who writes the review usually doesn't have any say on the score, which is decided by pitchfork editors after (long) editorial meetings

Bartender makes me feel like a rich white woman who only wears white and gold and lives in beverly hills

That blogger is kind of a known conspiracy theorist with regard to Pitchfork, though. 

 

I can't find it now, but there was a reddit thread featuring some who had written for the site and said the score was chosen by the writer. I've always believed it was an average, though.

[Make me your Dream Life 88,921]

California, Love Song and HiaB. Those are the ones I'm most excited for

California but make it bartender

[ultravioli 145]

i know it doesn’t really make sense, but the last line of the greatest, i hear her sing “oh, the life’s dream’s almost on” instead of “livestream.” and she also uses the “life’s dream” line in venice bitch. idk if i’m just tired and dumb but it feels more poetic with those lyrics lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (ik that in the pitchfork interview they quoted it as livestream tho)
