04.28.20 | interesting indeed |
JustJoe.
04.28.20 | now run the numbers to determine why i’m not cool(er) in real life |

04.28.20 | please track down ShadowsFallen and deep dive into his infamous intro paragraph. |

04.28.20 | Its weird that they would all be posted on that same day. Maybe they were pulled from somewhere else. |
DoofDoof
04.28.20 | Frogstomped |

04.28.20 | "Maybe they were pulled from somewhere else."
the site transitioned from a guitar tablature site to this brown piece of shite |
bloodshy
04.28.20 | Neat. |
blou52
04.28.20 | I'm pretty sure they would have been taken from a previous incarnation of the site. I'm guessing that deleted reviews are replaced by the Frogstomp page |
bloodshy
04.28.20 | Also weird that i just added distorted visions to the database before seeing this list. Shit band unfortunately. |
AnimalsAsSummit
04.28.20 | 2005 was simpler days. Reviews were to the point. |
Bedex
04.28.20 | the kind of info I love, nice dude |
ArsMoriendi
04.29.20 | Ah, Siverchair's Frogstomp and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts's Album
2 albums no one listens to, yet are full of Sput history |
Satellite
04.29.20 | Nice list. Loving the Frogstomp'd origin story here. |
MotokoKusanagi
04.29.20 | neat list, never knew that |
Ashen
04.29.20 | there was a cat on here not long ago who was heavy into statistics and would post lists of his sputnikmusic data mining broken down into the most infinitesimal irrelevant details. it was such an egregious waste of time that the chap was made a staff member. anyone remember him? |
Satellite
04.29.20 | Can't remember his username but I remember him being a Dallas Cowboys fan/analytics genius. |
Sinternet
04.29.20 | macman the legend
miss him |
Satellite
04.29.20 | That's right. Yeah, we didn't deserve him. |
MotokoKusanagi
04.29.20 | lol you aren't thinking about titan are you? only cowboys avy i can think of
edit: nvm |
Satellite
04.29.20 | Maybe I'm conflating the 2. Idk everything before 2018 is pretty fucking hazy. |
Ashen
04.29.20 | nah it was macman, good call sint. what happened to him? his profile is busted but his reviews remain.
edit: wait shit it's macman 76 |
MotokoKusanagi
04.29.20 | i kinda remember macman but not the staff incident lol that's funny af |
Satellite
04.29.20 | his blog posts were illuminating af |
Ashen
04.29.20 | yes except they'd be flooded by users, at least one of which who was probably named fourthreich, commenting "calculate my boner" or whatever |
TVC15
04.29.20 | I almost thought this was a Macman list for a sec |
MotokoKusanagi
04.29.20 | "one of which who was probably named fourthreich, commenting "calculate my boner" or whatever"
lol |
blou52
04.29.20 | Sounds like this stuff was before my time. I guess it's good in a way since I can make these lists myself. Still wouldve been interesting to see his stuff |
JustJoe.
04.29.20 | i almost thought this was a macman list for a sec [2] |
JustJoe.
04.29.20 | please come back macman |
EoinCofa
04.29.20 | Drew!!!!!! |
Jasdevi087
04.29.20 | yeah fuck i remember macman, his lists were tight
and yeah those frogstomp pages are deleted reviews, there will be some super dumb coding reason for why it's that album in particular |
ReturnToRock
04.29.20 | To be fair, there's worse things to look at 43 times in a row than the cover to Frogstomp... |
ReturnToRock
04.29.20 | 'the site transitioned from a guitar tablature site to this brown piece of shite'
And now I remember how/why I came to know Sput in the first place. |
MotokoKusanagi
04.29.20 | mxtabs baybeee |
Itwasthatwas
04.29.20 | The early reviews were posted on the mx forums right? I seem to recall a poll about whether or not people would be interested in album reviews and then a sub forum being created, but it was so long ago |
Itwasthatwas
04.29.20 | If I think back, the change must have happened because of that copyright push against guitar tab sites. I remember powertab was basically killed by that. Ultimate guitar I seem to remember surviving by hosting in Russia, and they became dominant. Then the site that hosted all the guitar pro tabs at the time tried to become a paid site. |
blou52
04.29.20 | If you look at the copyright date for Sputnikmusic, it starts in 2005, so the reviews were likely just shifted over when the site changed |
blou52
04.29.20 | I just got proof that what I put in my last post is correct, I'll edit the list to show this
Edit: list is now edited |
ArsMoriendi
04.29.20 | Here's the oldest list that still exists on Sput: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?mode=1&listid=9#comments
List #9 |
blou52
04.29.20 | Very cool, I didn't even think to check for list IDs |
blou52
04.30.20 | You can actually use the same tactic to find user numbers. MX is #1, but the next 70 or something numbers are empty. It doesn't work as well as lists or reviews. I'm not sure when the next profile is since I stopped after a while of finding nothing |
neekafat
04.30.20 | I geek out over sput history stuff like this, so interesting |
neekafat
04.30.20 | Not sure if you found this one, but this is a really fucky one:
https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/2161/Fall-Out-Boy-From-Under-the-Cork-Tree/
This is the first review from the user you get redirected to if you search for a list that doesn't exist. It seems like the user no longer exists either |
blou52
04.30.20 | I think that the "user" page that it redirects you to might have been like 2-3 users that had their accounts deleted. The earlier reviews are all pretty poorly rated, but it gets much higher rated later. Also, the span of reviews is over a few years. |
Koris
05.19.22 | Whenever you find a review that uses the old emoji/emoticon format in the comments - :thumb: for instance - you know you're reading a mxtabs review |
Storm In A Teacup
05.19.22 | ❤️ this list, I feel like an old person but it is mostly sweet without any bitter. |
Koris
05.19.22 | I remember first lurking on Sput around 2008, so these types of reviews were everywhere at the time. Good times
Can't believe it's been 14 years since I discovered this site... time flies |
Storm In A Teacup
05.19.22 | My 20 year anniversary comes up in a couple years 🥳😶🌫️🤯 |
Koris
05.20.22 | Damn dude, that's crazy! How old were you when you joined the site (obviously don't answer that if you don't want to)? I was 14, but I was 13 when I was lurking |
