DON'T CALL IT PLAGIARISM

But it's uncomfortably close. Here's the opening sentence of Pitchfork's review of the new Fischerspooner album, April 8:

Why exactly was I supposed to hate Fischerspooner again?

And here's the first sentence of the Washington Post's review of same, April 13:

The first problem with hating Fischerspooner is that it's hard to know where to start.

The overall tone of the reviews are similar, and come to the same essential conclusion: it's an improvement on their first album, though Pitchfork notes that they still haven't topped "Emerge."

You make the call!
