I also love to hate Pitchfork and think they suck. I couldn't get past the first paragraph of that review, but perhaps the reason you singled this one out is because it hit a little too close to home?

Pitchfork Review wrote:

Shrouded in put-on obscurity and not a little cocksure bravado, Lansing-Dreiden live by the totally unoriginal posit that image is everything. A collection of early-twenties college students transplanted from Miami to New York (where else), they've relied on the easily controlled written word to build a foppish, pseudo-intellectual house of cards that folds on even the slightest examination. (I left that part unbolded because I love you baby!) Refusing to either play live or give face-to-face interviews, they pepper carefully constructed e-mails with oafish Aristotelian philosophy and that bold, naïve conviction exclusive to the young.

No, I singled it out because it totally avoided talking about the music on the album (which is good.) Why did you bold all that stuff?
