Pitchfork Media is a website that rates and forecasts buzzbands according to their product. Recently, LCD Soundsystem came out with a new song "Drunk Girls" that was met as a 'mild letdown' according to indie fans who were expecting this album to save 2k10. Pitchfork gave the band 'Best New Music' status, meaning that they think it is an authentic mp3 / they are looking to preserve their long term relationship with the artist.

It seems like the review focuses on 'giving James Murphy props' for his song writing abilities, encouraging u 2 have fun with the song instead of trying 2 analyze it 2 hard:

"Drunk Girls", then, is a very good single, regardless of how it works in the context of the next LP. Like its first-single predecessors from the band's previous records ("Daft Punk Is Playing My House", "North American Scum"), it doesn't give much away, and focuses above all on having a good time. "Drunk Girls" revels in something Murphy does exceptionally well, which is to embrace hedonism while simultaneously maintaining a certain distance, leaving room for perspective inside the musical debauchery.

Many fans said the song sounded like Weezer or Cake. Something that is 'trying hard' to cross over and be used in some MTV reality show when girls are 'getting tanked' at the Jersey Shore / MTV Spring Break 2k12.

Pitchfork has remained 'curiously silent' regarding their opinion on the new MGMT album. We can only assume that they are 'saving up gun powder' so that they can 'pan' the album in an 'epic' way. Like something hovering around a 5.0, but possibly might dip as low as 2.0 if they really want to 'send a message.' MGMT might be the 'scapegoat' of the mainstream indie era due to the 'disgrace' that is the Congratulations album.

Is the new LCD Soundsystem authentic, or a let down?
What will Pitchfork give the new LCD Soundsystem album? 7.9-8.4?
What will Pitchfork give the new MGMT album? 1.9-3.5? 3.5-5.5? 5.6-10?
Is MGMT's career 'over' if Pitchfork pans them?
Is there any reason to believe that MGMT will ever create a relevant album again?
Has 2k10 been 'the worst year of music' since the 1990s?
