It's for Music Has The Right To Children.

i wouldn't have given it a ten... regardless of how well it
has held up... it's just not a 10 album... possibly a
nine... but Richardson does a good job of writing it up (as
always...)

10...

tehnically it might not be 10...and i don't listen to it
anymore, but i remember what affect this album had on me, so
i might as well agree on 10 :)

the best BoC album. don't know, maybe a 10.

but it's Pitchfork anyway, so who cares.

If it's not a 10 I don't know what else is.

Any album with Rue the Whirl will, in my book, receive a 10.

"The giggling voices of kids that crop up are a sure
giveaway, as are the song titles ("Rue the Whirl", "Happy
"Cycling"), "

What do they mean by 'Happy Cycling' ??? Am I missing
something?

Happy Cycling, last track on the American releases.

God Pitchfork makes me sigh. The Fragile 2.0, okay, maybe.
Lateralus - 1.9??

I mean, 5.0, 6.0 for those maybe. BUT a fucking 2?

Oh yeah, cool guy, way to mention that you were in your
HONDA 2 times in the space of a couple sentences. Wouldn't
it have sufficed to just say car, or did you feel the need
to point out your blatant homosexuality?

Err, just the first sentence was directed in reply to you
elusive. The rest was to the reviewer, God damn his soul to
hell.

also the last track on the re-release, not just on the
american release anymore.

Considering the impact this album has had, and the fact that
it's just so fucking good, I'm glad to see it get a 10 :)
I'm sure even more people will check it out now since I know
there are people who get everything pitchfork says is good.

I still don't get the significance of the name "Happy
Cycling"

I understand it was the last track on the US release.
