Well, I find Pitchforkmedia.com a great way to get to know when an album is gonna be a HIT or NOT. I actually find it very useful most of the times: they rate every indie album from 0 to 10, but sometimes I think they're kind of unfair.

For example, anybody knows Low's last album The Great Destroyer? well, personally, I considere this album a master piece, eventhough is probably not the best nor even close to the best ever done by Low. The situation here is that lots of magazines, netzines, and inclusive record labels base their own judges on this site's reviews. I find this way uncool in someways. what do you think about it?

BTW, I'd like to mention that Arcade Fire's Funeral is probably the best indie album in 2005 (well, it was released in 2004 in north-america, not the same in Mexico and UK), and this is something I can clearly agree with pitchforkmedia.

ciao.
