Pitchfork will continue to be the Gestapo of popular music until they do away with being music segragationists, and become music writers. Reviews lose their meaning when you attach a number to them.

I think this 9.6, like the .4 that came for another record the next day, are in some ways broad strokes to indicate enthusiasm. Basically, there are things you like and things you want to say "Seriously guys, this is something you HAVE to listen to." That's different than definitively declaring something a classic. It's a service more than anything else.
