About The Fork
The Fork aggregates album review scores from Pitchfork and presents them in a single browsable, filterable directory. Visitors can narrow the full review history by genre, decade, score range, country, year, language, reviewer and BNM status, then sort the results by score, release date or review date or group them by any of those dimensions. Summary views such as score distribution, top genres, reviews by year and quick numbers give an overview of the collection, and reviews load progressively via a "Load more" control.
The site also hosts a separate section called The Drop, which lists every album Anthony Fantano (The Needledrop) has reviewed, described as scored, searchable and ranked. The Fork is a web-only service; no pricing information is published on the homepage, and it is not listed as open source.
