More that by nature of what kind of magazine it is, by the time an
artist appears in Time, I will have aleady heard of them from
someplace else. The point of comparison isn't to Pitchfork (a site I
have little if any use for), but to Time Inc.'s own Entertainment
Weekly, a magazine that does regularly turn me on to new stuff I
haven't heard of yet.
