Since Pitchfork started publishing album reviews nearly 30 years ago, two things have remained constant: no comments section, and no second opinion. That is about to change.<\/p>\n
Coming in 2026, as Pitchfork celebrates its 30th anniversary, we\u2019re finally planning to add a comments section to all of our album reviews. That\u2019s over 30,000 pieces of music criticism on which you\u2019ll be able to leave your own Pitchfork review for the very first time. We can\u2019t wait for your takes to be on our website.<\/p>\n
In addition to commenting, you will also have the opportunity to add your own score to an album review using Pitchfork\u2019s rating system. This score will be shown next to your comment and will be aggregated with other readers to form a \u201creader score\u201d alongside Pitchfork\u2019s official score. One album review, our score, your score, followed by some comments.<\/p>\n
We are currently beta testing these features with 500 readers to make sure that we build the best comments section and reader scoring system possible. After the beta test is complete, we\u2019ll be back with more information and let you know exactly when this will be available.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll leave it there for now. Thank you so much for reading our work, for engaging with and caring about music criticism, and for sharing your kind words with us through the years. We look forward to hearing from you soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
