First, Chillin' is a good track. I'm already questioning the credibility of the Pitchfork.com staff. Next they go on to say that Shining Down is a "bland refix" of Superstar. I don't know what they were listening to, but i guess any song featuring Matthew Santos is a bland refix of Superstar, which in turn is a bland refix of Heard 'em Say. If they were mad that Matt Santos sounded like Adam Lavine, i want to see how they talk about some of these 2000 rappers that all sound alike. These are the same people who probably say "Asher Roth sounds like Eminem because they have the same skin tone and both rap."
Pitchfork said the opening words( "Well, Well...") sounded like "a sad trombone, a la Debbie Downer." Pitchfork seems to have the intelligence of a person who should be watching Debbie Downer for picking out these bad lines to scrutinize. How you goin' tell me these lines aren't hitters (in context):
"No cowards, you only heard lions
Not a facade cherisher, I’d rather have the scars
I don’t idolize America, I’m dancing with the stars"I agree its not his best work, but how are you going to say "it sounds like a guy who really wants to retire..." That's ridiculous. Pitchfork needs to cut it out.
