Cold100 Keeps Its Worst Albums Behind a Curtain
A 100-entry ranking of the lowest-rated albums associated with Pitchfork, Anthony Fantano, and AOTY, ordered from worst to less terrible.
Field notes
The page uses a ranked table rather than prose, attaching each visible album to a score, outlet, publication year, reviewer, and review date. Its first 20 positions are intentionally concealed as “held,” while the visible section starts with Andrew W.K.’s I Get Wet at 0.6 / 10 and includes entries such as St. Anger, Lulu, and Blue Slide Park. The homepage identifies Pitchfork, Anthony Fantano, and AOTY as source categories, though the extracted rows shown are primarily from Pitchfork.
