12.29.10 | Do you rate dudes after you sleep with them? |
Insurrection
12.29.10 | im guessing it means either 'unbiased' or 'biased'... |
LegendofPittman
12.29.10 | ^ that's what I am thinking. I try and look at it from both perspectives and find middle ground between the two. |
ButcheredChildren
12.29.10 | I consider both and then give what I believe to be a fair rating. It is important to consider as many elements found in an album as you can when rating, it takes fair analysis and trial. Essentially an album rating is for the individual determining whether to give the album a listen or not and that is important because you do not want to waste someones time when they could be listening to something that might be better. |

12.29.10 | personal enjoyment |
Satellite
12.29.10 | strictly professional. there are plenty of albums that i thoroughly loved but had to give a low score simply due to sporadically sloppy musicianship and/or less than flawless production. |

12.29.10 | Impersonal Unenjoyment... |
ButcheredChildren
12.29.10 | Satellite is very callous in his ratings, he hates to splurge his enjoyment clearly |
Satellite
12.29.10 | yeah, i mean music is best when it sounds like it's being performed by soulless automatons.
i also have a rigorous algorithm i use for determining my scores. |

ButcheredChildren
12.29.10 | I rate black metal albums based on the alligning of our solar system and the stars and all that
astrology plays a huge part, oh yah |
Satellite
12.29.10 | i rate bm based on how similar the forest on the cover is to every other bm album. |
LepreCon
12.29.10 | My personal ratings are based on my own personal bias but if and when I review something I'm more objective (hence the discrepency between my personal rating of an album and the rating I gave it in a review) |
Dryden
12.29.10 | astrology plays a huge part, oh yah |
FromDaHood
12.29.10 | Mostly based on how much I like them but sometimes I make exceptions |
ButcheredChildren
12.29.10 | the worse the production and the colder the lyrist, the higher the rating |
Satellite
12.29.10 | wow that's pretty remarkable, fromdahood. |
deathofasalesman
12.29.10 | People are making some pretty obvious posts here. I can't tell if folks are being sarcastic or not. |
ffs
12.29.10 | i do rate albums |
silentstar
12.29.10 | Hmm, some posts do confuse me, but for the most part, I seem to kinda get the point, I think I should go change my ratings, I've been giving some albums low scores, although I really enjoyed them.... |
LepreCon
12.29.10 | Of course if it was made within the last 3 days and nobody else knows about it it gets an instant 5 from me |
Satellite
12.29.10 | every single one of my posts itl is sarcasm, sales. |
silentstar
12.29.10 | I thought this would have been a nice friendly place :( Anyone here have a Y!A account? |
ButcheredChildren
12.29.10 | my first post was serious |
silentstar
12.29.10 | Yep, you were among the few who actually answered it lol |
ButcheredChildren
12.29.10 | I was kind of hoping you'd base your ratings on calculating the stars |
DinoX
12.29.10 | I try to rate unbiased, but for some albums I rate with bias |
silentstar
12.29.10 | Calculating the stars? |
Baphomet
12.29.10 | I try to rate them for the musicianship and what it acomplishes within its genre... but the enjoyment I get from an album will bump a 0.5 at most |
silentstar
12.29.10 | andcas, I looked at your ratings, especially the 1's, and all I see is Lil Wyane, Miley etc Did you even listen to their albums? :P |
ButcheredChildren
12.29.10 | confessing something andcas? |
Baphomet
12.29.10 | busted |
silentstar
12.29.10 | Cool story bro, but...... I doubt you even gave all those albums a listen! BOTD, Justin Bieber(I bet you listened to one song), Jonas Brothers, meh, who cares? Hypocrite much though.... |
Baphomet
12.29.10 | can you fucking blame them for rating a delicious taco?! |
ButcheredChildren
12.29.10 | anything that involves or even mentions cheese is an automatic 5 |
TheStefan
12.29.10 | i rate albums by how good they are as opposed to the scene/genre they are in. if something sticks out of the crowd extremely well, it is likely to be rated higher than just another album, which i would give a 2.5. Although i am somewhat subjective about it. My 5s are all incredibly personal albums |
Sowing
12.29.10 | I look at whatever you rated an album and I give it the opposite |
Marimbaboy4
12.29.10 | I just gave a Relient K album a 4 soooo...... yeah.
I'm biased. |
ButcheredChildren
12.29.10 | Relient K a 4? wtf |
Kimm
12.29.10 | I have some rated based on personal liking and others based on originality, musicianship etc. so my ratings are honestly pretty inconsistant.
|
Kimm
12.29.10 | Relient K is one of those bands I would give a 4 based on personal liking. |

12.29.10 | i think it is impossible to be completely unbiased and objective when it comes to music. |
Josh D.
12.29.10 | Sie stören. |
morte
12.29.10 | ofc you can't ignore writing, technical proficiency,etc... but music is much more than that, it has to hit your heart.
for example: i can see that btbam are very talented, but i still hasn't clicked with so i wont rate their stuff 5 jus cuz they're talented and can write long songs.
music is not a sport, it's not a science and there isn't a mathematical equation to determinate how good a certain artist is.
Music is subjective, and different people have different tastes and even if you know someone who has a similar taste to yours there is always going to be a point of divergence |
