I agree with you Pitchfork! : Wolf Parade - At Mount Zoomer

Pitchfork is probably my favorite site ever.  It introduced me to most of my favorite bands, and is always consistently delivering amazing reviews, music news, etc... Sometimes though, I tend to disagree with some of their music reviews (I thought the Battles album was awful, was not so fond of the new Titus Andronicus album) so here on this site I want to weed out the good from the bad.  Of course, this is all depending on my personal music taste but put some trust in the nurse, I know what I'm doing.  Anyways, they have just reviewed Wolf Parade's new album, At Mount Zoomer.  I actually didn't really like their first album Apologies to the Queen Mary, I liked one song "Modern Love," but truthfully the rest of the album annoyed me.  The new album is less annoying and sounds like good music.  That's all I really have to say about it, it's a very decent rock album.  It sort of reminded me when Phoenix did Alphabetical (which was a bit cheesy for my taste), and then came out with the catchy It's Never Been Like That.  So I'm pleasantly surprised and have moved Wolf Parade into my good books and am quasi-considering going to see them live.
