Is KILL dead for real? One of the best users, true.
Actual advice though:
1. Search by album name
2. Bring back artists' profile photos
3. When band A is recommended as similar on band B's page, there should be an automatic recommendation on band A's page for band B.
4. Switch off threads you're no longer interested in
5. Make the @reference real, and not just text |

02.08.21 | but yeah nowadays like i see people giving good albums 2s and i just ignore it, like theres no explaining to someone who 5d animal collective that black sabbath rules, i just keep on rockin in my own world |
sonictheplumber
02.08.21 | one improvement imo is metal and prog are finally well respected here, like even staffers dig the shit. wouldnt have been possible without all of me and KILLs hard work, plus jethro and others who spread the glory. i dont really need to call anyone a gay retard anymore, not just cause of cancellation risks, but because for the most part we have great new users who dig helstar, razor, crazy shit |
MrSirLordGentleman
02.08.21 | not sure about prog tbh. I still think most people see it as "pretentious bs"
just look at Steven Wilson's new album's thread. Sure, it sucks, but many people think it sucks because it is made by a prog artist
Also Sinternet lol |
ReefaJones
02.08.21 | "one improvement imo is metal and prog are finally well respected here"
How far back are you thinking here? I remember in between 2012-2015 or so, Prog Rock albums were dominating this site comment wise, in large part because of guys like Kill, Jethro, Nag etc.
Now I feel like Black Metal and Death Metal are dominating. Every end-of-the-year rock chart list is full of shitty black metal albums somehow.

sonictheplumber
02.08.21 | tbf i do basically exist in an echo chamber on here, i dont venture into threads for bands i dont dig except to periodically be like "didnt jesse lacey fuck a baby?" or something like that

sonictheplumber
02.08.21 | i think signals and grace under pressure had like a 3.5 on here before me and KILL jerked em off |
MrSirLordGentleman
02.08.21 | yeah, but besides super big bands (like Rush) prog threads get barely any bumps nowadays that kill, nag, menawati and even jethro are gone
Every now and then I, friday or you sonic, will comment, but that's it |
sonictheplumber
02.08.21 | well ya nothing obscure gets bumped but i see yes, genesis, crimson, rush, camel, etc bumped plenty. i guess when i joined prog was basically limited to dream theater and opeth so i see it as a victory |
porcupinetheater
02.08.21 | Yes but you see many people think the new Steven Wilson album sucks because it sucks, not because it is prog, an easy mistake to make.
People be digging Wobbler and Crippled Black Phoenix and Leprous and shit
Crimson for life, fuckas |

02.08.21 | "Yes but you see many people think the new Steven Wilson album sucks because it sucks, not because it is prog, an easy mistake to make"

Wobbler getting caught me by surprise when it happened, I agree with you on that |

02.09.21 | Way late to the convo, but when I signed up on Sputnik prog rock dominated, it was like a huge fun park for a prog lover and every other day you'd see lists like ''Opeth/Mastodon ranked''. There were great threads on Camel, King Crimson and all the other obscure bands I got to learn back then. Remember when there was a Prog Elimination Month? What happened to that?
Also, it seems like BM and DM are dominating nowadays, not only Sputnikmusic, but metal in general. Extreme is where innovation - is supposed - to be happening and I don't know how I feel about it, since I'm not much of an extreme listener. |
