Another odd Pitchfork review for a British band

"For this Welsh trio, a Glastonbury main-stage headlining slot doesn't represent some distant career goal to gradually aspire to, but a deeply ingrained spiritual state of mind...scientifically engineered to make the Joy Formidable sound like the Biggest Band in the World, rendering traditional metrics like No. 1 chart rankings and platinum records as mere formalities."

Yeah, because the one thing the Joy Formidable are ingrained in is overcommercialised stadium rock dynamics.
