Acanthus: Rating Worries

danielito19 02.11.11	I rate albums that I've heard that suck. listen to more post-hardcore and your objectivity will go sky-high lol.
Acanthus 02.11.11	Haha I like post-hardcore, just been in an industrial mood lately - 23% Industrial, 22% Post-Hardcore, 22% Metal.
fr33convict 02.11.11	OH NOES MY OBJECTIVY ARE BROKEN
Acanthus 02.11.11	Lawl no, just I could see it being that way - you've been here longer than I have, do they even matter?
danielito19 02.11.11	yeah, well, post-hardcore and metalcore are where all the sceney weenies play. Thus, you can 1 a lot of shit and nobody will care, because it's all 1-able. except Thrice. I like Thrice.
TheSpirit 02.11.11	i think you are putting too much thought into it.
Acanthus 02.11.11	Solid advice, I just didn't know how much it mattered in the end.
danielito19 02.11.11	tbh it's just a number. if you're OCD like me, then ask people for shitty bands so you can give them low ratings and boost your epeen% or objectivity%, same diff.
fr33convict 02.11.11	It doesn't mean anything at all really, there's no reason to worry about it.
TheSpirit 02.11.11	What do you mean in the end? Nothing comes of our objectivity ratings ever
TheSpirit 02.11.11	what fr33 said basically
fr33convict 02.11.11	BUT IN THE ENDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
foreverendeared 02.11.11	Who cares? It's the internet. Mine is 57%
fr33convict 02.11.11	mine is like 91% i listen to shittier music i win
iSkane 02.12.11	Dude, don't worry about your fucking objectivity. Really. It doesn't really mean anything to me. I'm sure if I really wanted to, I could bump at least 18 of my 5s down to 4.5s or even 4s.
acorncheese 02.12.11	Pretty much how I am. I'd have 2x the ratings I do if I rated the stuff that I haven't liked very much over the years.
geng 02.12.11	I'm the same, I only rate music I like because I only listen to an album I think I'll like, but at the end of the day objectivity is about as important as bull shit
Acanthus 02.12.11	Sweet, the consensus (to help fr33 out) IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTERRRRRRRRRRR makes me feel better.
Scoot 02.12.11	i like post-music
geng 02.12.11	proto-music is better imo
Psilocyanide 02.12.11	Word of advice no one cares about your objectivity.
porch 02.12.11	its too late now just make a new account and start over again
Acanthus 02.12.11	"its too late now just make a new account and start over again" Ya I might just have to go an hero now, all's lost.
Sowing 02.12.11	Objectivity ratings are like your site rank - completely meaningless. I mean it's good to not rate everything a 4 or better, but you should still rate things what you think they should be, regardless.
fulgrim 02.12.11	I only really listen to stuff that i know i will likely enjoy, so unless i rate albums i haven't even listened to i also have a low objectivity score.
bloc 02.12.11	Dude, 9 is soooooo not a 4.5! ;)
Acanthus 02.12.11	I disagree good sir, if this album had "Saviour" from Empires on it it would be neigh perfect, and if it was the version with lyrics it would be a 5!
bloc 02.12.11	Please tell me you've heard Matter+Form?
Acanthus 02.12.11	Yes I have heard it, and I enjoy some parts immensely but it's just a bit more "happy" than Testament and truth be told I am normally in more of a "darker" tone mood. Don't worry though, I still enjoy it.
IndefinitePersona 02.17.11	Objectivity with music is an impossibility. Rate what you like, tell the world about it. And try to be fair. That's all you can do.
couldwinarabbit 02.17.11	...dream theatre has a lot of albums to help out.
Zanders 02.17.11	My objectivity rating keeps getting lower and lower because I rarely listen to any albums that I really dislike and rarely bother to rate them. I usually sample albums and make sure it is something I would want to listen to before spending time on it, causing my ratings to rarely go below 3. If it is something that I think sounds bad I don't listen to the full album, I usually stop it pretty soon, making me unable to rate the whole album properly.
couldwinarabbit 02.17.11	also 2.5 means "average" which does not mean bad. When I rate an album a 3 it means I think it is pretty good.
Romulus 02.17.11	yes rabbit agreed with you there
