Is the quality of music sinking or are Pitchfork writers becoming more demanding? That is a endsummer night's question. In the last month, just two albums have been added in the Pitchfork Best New Music page: The War On Drugs' Slave Ambient and Jay-Kanye's Watch the Throne. Fortunately, they're both available on Spotify, pushing the percentage of available albums in these playlists to an astonishing 91%. Enjoy!
