From what I understand, tons of indie music fans read Pitchfork reviews in order 2 'keep their finger on the pulse' of what 'authentic music critics' have 2 say about the world's most relevant albums. So many scores throughout the year that u sorta need a place to 'look back' on the year and be like "Oh yeah... So that's what 2k10 was all abt." Anyways some bro used 'the web' to make some site that graphically displays [via bar graph] the range of scores.

U can practice math gimmicks like 'median', 'mode', and 'mean' with relevant indie data. Sorta wish they had this when I was in high school so I coulda scored higher on the PSAT.

Below are all the albums reviewed by Pitchfork in 2010 . Explore albums by hovering over the album art or using the search bar and filters below. Clicking the album art opens the written review. Enjoy the year in reviews.

What I learned from this site

• six albums got 10.0s
• tons of albums get between a 7 and an 8
• Ghostland Observatory got the lowest score of 2010 with a 1.5
• It is difficult for new albums to achieve a score of above 9.2
• Relevant buzzbands tend to get 8.4 or above

What will be the Pitchfork trends in 2k11?
Is Pitchfork's album review still going 2 be relevant in 2k11?
Do u think Pitchfork should build this 'data visualization' in2 their site?
Are 'bar graphs' authentic, or do u prefer 'pie'?
Have 'infographics' replaced standard graphs as the ultimate data visualization gimmicks in the modern world?
Are 'pie charts' 4 lamestreamers?
What's the difference between "mean" and "average"?
R u tired of Pitchfork scores?
Was 2k10 'a shitty year'?
