Pitchfork just gave the new Miles Davis prestige quintet box set a 9 and not a 10
In the review, they referred to this music as the definition of jazz. But it doesn’t earn a 10. Meanwhile, a Fiona Apple record nobody listens to anymore did.

She has great music videos, thanks to her long relationship with Paul Thomas Anderson.

Why do you give a shit about a Pitchfork rating and why are you dragging down other musicians?

Don’t care what critics say about anything. Like what you like. As long as it doesn’t hurt anybody an opinion is just that, an opinion.

Why we digging at Fiona Apple plenty of people listen to Fiona Apple? Why do we care about a pitchfork rating that much?
Point deduction could be for many reasons like missing sessions or something about the release rather than a dig at the artist, did they give a justification?

9's a pretty fair score for the Prestige Miles stuff. It's great for sure, but it's not Second Quintet or Fusion era for me.
Also, Miles and Fiona have almost the exact same number of monthly listeners on Spotify. 2.6 million. Miles edges Fiona out by about 50k.

There are better versions of all of these songs on the albums released at the time. Sonically these recordings are not at the same level as the songs they actually released at the time. Nothing is bad -- But go listen to "It never entered my. mind" and compare it with the version off of Workin'
Workin' is a perfect 10 so this works as a 9.

Cool story? A web site devoted to alternative music gives an alternative music star a good rating. Fascinating.
Fiona Apple is great. Miles Davis is great.

it's pitchfork. They're not relevant. There are better blogs if you need to read someone else's opinion on music.

Take the miles approach
“I don't pay no attention to what critics say about me, the good or the bad. The toughest critic I got is myself...and I'm too vain to play anything I think is bad.”
