I'm willing to admit my background probably influences my opinion, but for me the greatest band of all time is Bob Marley & the Wailers.
I can also make arguments for Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Queen, the Cure, U2 & The Clash. And then there's Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson and Bob Dylan. And sure, there's also the Beatles... but above all of those artists, I still rank Bob Marley as the greatest.

Blut Aus Nord's "777 Cosmosophy" was just given an 8.5, but was denied a BNM tag, while dozens of other 8.3, 8.4, and 8.5 rated albums were awarded the coveted title. I seriously don't fucking understand it. |

I'm overstepping my boundaries, because Cbats and Gramma are the authorities on PF, but I used to read PF regularly, and I noticed the same thing. My opinion was, "We are PF, our BNM is what no one has ever heard, but every hipsters will be praising in two weeks. Then if we ever BNM a band, we are required to continue BNMing them, because we knew them first. We also like Neurosis, and we'll give them an 8.6 to show you all we're cool like that, but they don't get a BNM." |

This is pretty much accurate. The way I understand it, the ratings are more of a collective thing (or Schreiber just picks them, I dunno) and the writer assigned writes the review. Sometimes this comes through where there will be a really positive review and the album gets a 6.5 or something.
The way they've described the BNM tag in the past is that BNM means that they recommend something irrespective of genre. When it comes to metal, the only stuff that really gets BNM is really accessible stuff like Baronness or Mastodon.
A much better example of what Wonk is describing is their review of Alt-J today (an album I really like actually). The whole review is basically whining about how people really like it and thats dumb because it's not as good as this stuff that we told you about. It comes off as fairly petulant.

they're definitely the same thing to most of their readers but their writers are actually pretty good about metal. Brandon Stosuy does most of their reviews and knows his shit.

Regardless of it's "real," I'll believe it when I see it. Anyone remember the Avalanches have been working on their new album for about six years now?

They played a new song at Pitchfork this summer so this makes sense. It was not the best song of their set, it was pretty aggressive and lacked a lot of the subtlety of their best songs. I'm still unreasonably excited anyway.
