The Mae Shi On Pitchfork: A Community Reacts! Pitchfork Media is known for being the most pretentious album review site on the web . Still, whether it's a love to hate or hate to love type relationship, it's hard not to go there on the regular, as if nothing else, it is updated every day (unlike some other content-based websites). Anyways, lunchboxing homies The Mae-Shi, one of the most rockingest and fun bands you could ever see live, recently released a sweet record, and Pitchfork was quick to lay on some of its' signature cocky-style criticism. Here was some of the band members and their friends' reactions: Bassist/Singer Tim Byron's Reactions (in google image search form): Surprised  Amused  A little let down  Concerned  Haven't slept in a while  Overworked  Predictable  Will not help us sell records  Shooting From The Hipster (Colleague PF Tug's Reaction) I was lucky enough to receive a promotional copy of The Mae Shi's debut full length album Terrorbird a few weeks ago. Though I admit I am personal friends with the band, I must say that I was not just thoroughly impressed by the album but genuinely excited after listening to it. More Mae Shi Right Hand Man Dayv's Reaction (in drawing form):  Alex Sepiol Spouts Off (email style): Hi Jamie: I was bitching to Tim Byron about Pitchfork, and he directed me to your site and email. I mean, yeah, the daily updates make Pitchfork an easy thing to check when I arrive at my day job every morning, but this review pissed me off. They'd probably be proud of pissing a reader off, but a bigger problem is that the review seriously undermined their credibility as well.
