Pitchfork

I’m sorry, but I hate this design. The lack of contrast makes it hard to distinguish sections from one another, and there’s a terrifying lack of attention to detail. I love minimalism and clean design, but on such a content-heavy site there needs to be more contrast—I find scanning this site immensely more difficult than the last one. Oh, how I loved the previous design. It could use some improvements, but it was easily scannable, fairly easily navigated, and most of all, it had personality. To think that Pitchfork spent thousands of dollars on this design is FLABBERGASTING.

I feel that hiding content inside tabs, for example, in news, headlines and tours, is practically the same as not posting the content at all, do they expect the user to click on every rectangle that seems clickable to reveal more content? or roll over all the covers to view more info ?

I agree. I was a big Pitchfork fan as a punter before web designer - I was hitting it daily but since the re-design I only visit once a week if that. Feels a but like tabs for tab’s sake.
