I will be downvoted for this comment: This article is classic naval gazing. TL;DR: "Indie" music review magazine/website sells out to giant corporation (GC). Then "outraged" fan writes piece using their other/new indie news platform.
Rinse and repeat. We see this over and over again. How about the deeper question: Why did they sell out? Money and/or power.
> the most important music publication of its generation
What does this even mean? Is AllMusic less influential or important? This whole article reads like a bitter fanboi's sayonara to "the better, olden days".
