Since Pitchfork started publishing album reviews nearly 30 years ago, two things have remained constant: no comments section, and no second opinion. That is about to change.

Coming in 2026, as Pitchfork celebrates its 30th anniversary, we’re finally planning to add a comments section to all of our album reviews. That’s over 30,000 pieces of music criticism on which you’ll be able to leave your own Pitchfork review for the very first time. We can’t wait for your takes to be on our website.

In addition to commenting, you will also have the opportunity to add your own score to an album review using Pitchfork’s rating system. This score will be shown next to your comment and will be aggregated with other readers to form a “reader score” alongside Pitchfork’s official score. One album review, our score, your score, followed by some comments.

We are currently beta testing these features with 500 readers to make sure that we build the best comments section and reader scoring system possible. After the beta test is complete, we’ll be back with more information and let you know exactly when this will be available.

We’ll leave it there for now. Thank you so much for reading our work, for engaging with and caring about music criticism, and for sharing your kind words with us through the years. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Last week, ABC made the abrupt and shocking decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel Live! indefinitely due to pressure from the Trump administration. Members of the administration—namely President Donald J. Trump and Brendan Carr, the Trump-appointed chair of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)—were unhappy with remarks that host Jimmy Kimmel made about the man alleged to have shot and killed the right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. Now, after significant backlash to ABC’s decision, Jimmy Kimmel Live! is returning on Tuesday night, September 20, according to The New York Times.

In a statement reported by The Times and other outlets, Walt Disney Company, ABC’s parent company, said, “Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country.”

The statement continued, “It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”

Kimmel’s show was suspended after the host said the following about the 22-year-old man accused of killing Charlie Kirk in Utah: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it.”

Brendan Carr, in response, said during an appearance on a right-wing podcast that Kimmel’s remarks were part of a “concerted effort to lie to the American people.” ABC soon suspended the show under pressure from Carr and the FCC.

The suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! was met with protests and also condemnation from the Writers Guild of America (WGA), the American Federation of Musicians (AFM), and the Screen Actors Guild–American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), as well as political figures, such as Senator Chuck Schumer and former President Barack Obama, and entertainers like Ben Stiller, Wanda Sykes, and Jean Smart.
