[Shaun of the Dead]

Yeah, I still have the email; I'll send it back to you. What I'd advise you to do first is to disconnect from the internet, go to file in the internet window and hit 'work offline' then search through your history for the lost reviews. If your temporary internet files are still there, you should be able to access the reviews that are on your computer. I have to stress the importance of being offline, though. Get back to me if you can't.

KOD & Steve: Yeah, me too :upset:


Urgh, I had signed off earlier in the day, and when I came back online, and went to Sputnik was exactly when the site failed. I got to watch my brother's review go bye-bye. :(

Speaking of which, I should probably log back in as Kripes.

In that case you should just disconnect and search your history for last week. You should be able to get copies of your old reviews; copy and paste them into word or whatever before you re-connect.

We have to resize them if they're outside of the limits, I think. Damrod's the one that knows the answer to this, though, so we'll see what he has to say.

This is to JohnxDoe:


What albums would you consider to be classics? I'm trying to find even one album that deserves the honour of being an absolute "ceiling [or] mountain top" of music. And I can't think of a single one. I can't think of a single album that is universally, 100%, irrefutably considered a classic album in the truest most extreme sense of the word. If, like you say, this can't be done right, if this status is so unattainable as both you and I seem to think it is, then what is the purpose of even using the word classic? If no music has ever been classic, maybe we need to readjust our views. If no album can ever be 5 stars, why does the rating exist? Any more than 6 or 7 stars don't exist? It has to have some use, otherwise albums would be rated on a scale of 0-4.5 stars. If you want something untouchable, then fine, imagine that 6 stars is really the pinnacle. But I think ultimately music is subjective - what is a 0 star album for me is a 0.5 star album for someone else. What is a 4.5 star album for me is a 5 star for you. Music is 100% undeniably subjective, and reviews, even by the most learned of music critics, are entirely subjective. I guess I just don't understand the concept of 5/5 being untouchable... if no music has ever been made that is deserving of 5/5, then maybe we need to adjust the criteria? Yes, that is when we start taking things into account like the impact it had on the music scene at the time, the ways in which it was innovative, the new sounds which it used to great effect or new instruments it brought to the forefront... the way it gives a voice to the voiceless, motivates and mobilises, makes people care about more than music. Or the impact it has on future generations of music listeners... how they look back and realise THIS album alone changed the course of music forever. The way this album made countless kids put on their record and think "I want to be a musician". The album itself doesn't even have to be that good, but there are so many other factors that are invovled that can no doubt make something a 5/5 album.

I just don't see the purpose of holding 5/5 in some unattainable light. If you do that, then 4.5/5 becomes the new "classic" rating. Then people start complaining about how 4.5 should only be reserved for the utmost of albums. And then down the line people are only allowed to choose between a rating of 0, 0.5, or 1. Everything else is untouchable, since no music has ever been made that deserves a 3. I just don't see what good it does. Why can't people see that Album A is a good example of a 5/5? Ah yes, this is what a classic album sounds like. I'm not saying every album is a 5/5, or even all of the commonly regarded "classic albums" deserve the rating. But it can't be unattainable.

Tell me, what albums would you consider 5/5? If there are none, what is the point?


p.s. it's 5:15am and I'm probably making even less sense than usual. Forgive me.

edit: ok looking over your sputnik profile you gave X's Wild Gift 5 stars. I'm not going to attack your rating just to prove a point, especially since I haven't heard the album, but I can guarantee you that album is not universally regarded as a classic album but instead your rating is coming from a personal vantage point. You are a big fan of X and understand and appreciate their music much much more than your average music fan (I mean your name is John Doe for God's sake), and as such can formulate a knowledgeable opinion of the album. It doesn't make your opinion that it is a 5 star album wrong nor does it make the people who unfailingly neglect to mention it as a classic album, even after having heard it. But you obviously believe some albums are worth 5 stars. So why can't I, from the vantage point of a knowledgeable listener of artist Y, having heard and analysed their discography, why can't I decide that album is worth 5 stars, regardless of whether other people consider it to be a perfect album or not? It is my opinion, and if I can back it up with solid arguments, then there is no reason why any album in the world can't be 5/5 in my opinion. Even those greatest albums of all time lists, regardless of who publishes them, regardless of how reputable or learned the source is, they are just someone's opinion. Same as on sputnik. If there is solid defense for the rating and if the listener has obviously done their homework and isn't just taking out of their *** than I see no reason why "classic" ratings shouldn't exist.

edit2: I should emphasise that I don't mean that classic ratings should be handed out like candy either. But if someone presented me with a review of any album, be it Ok Computer or Ashlee Simpson's latest album, if they argued their point well and could convince me that it worth being rated classic than I have no choice but to respect their opinion... I may feel inclined to support their rating or to completely disagree and give it a converse rating... in that respect, if I could effectively argue that an album is deserved of no more than 0 stars, then once again I think if I have solid backing than my rating should be respected, even if the other listener's opinion opposes mine.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I still think the classic word is entirely misleading; first of all because the new Strokes album can't be proclaimed a classic no matter what the NME thinks, but also because I think it's a word which exists outside of any real qualitative analysis. Like I said in the other thread: Sgt. Pepper, Thriller, Back In Black, The Chronic, Kind Of Blue... they're all classics, but I wouldn't rate a single one of them 5/5 (in the case of one of them they'd have to invite a scale with negative numbers), but they're classics because they transcend musical opinion; they've become a part of their respective musical cultures and can't really be viewed in isolation.

I think JohnXDoe has a somewhat similar view, which is colouring his view of what a 5/5 should represent. I think a 5 is what an album that I can't put down should get, and an album I'd never change a note on whether other people would like it or not. Jeff Buckley's Grace or The Manics' The Holy Bible spring to mind. If I give something a 5 rating you can probably take it as a 4 or a 0 or whatever.

[JohnXDoe]

Well Moz, I'm not of the opinion that a 5 star rating is unattainable. Or a classic rating. I just know that I see too much of it on sputnik when compared with other highly regarded sources of information. I also realize that sputnik is not a professionally run operation, so to speak. It's not Rolling Stone or Spin or even Blender in that regard. So keeping ratings in line and consistent can be difficult. Especially when dealing with a bunch of amatuer writers/critics.

But the term classic is not purely subjective. It is an inarguable and undisputable statement. 5 star rating? Fine. Keep it. Nothing wrong with it. Just don't label it as a rating given a "classic" album. Because sputnik needs to have some standards, IMO. And before sputnik was here Rolling Stone was. And Spin. And the New York and L.A. Times. And many respected writers and critics and publications and sources of information and artists that set the standard for what a classic album is and what it should be. And when people come to sputnik they should see that standard followed and upheld. And if it can't be, then it shouldn't be an option. It just looks bad and unreliable. Like the example I gave in the other thread about the Blasters and the Stray Cats. Some things are just obvious. And if it seems like the reviewers at sputnik are clueless to the obvious, what purpose are we serving? Like I said before, keep the top rating. Just remove the term classic if reviewers can't distinguish the difference between a classic album and a lesser one. Because most people who patronize sputnik most likely know the difference. And it's our responsibilty as informed reviewers not to mislead them, and in our best interest not to look less informed or credible then other places that provide the same information.

So far as my Wild Gift review, that comes with the benefit of 25 years of hindsight and the fact that it is considered by many to be one of the best Rock n Roll albums of the last quarter century. It is #334 on Rolling Stone magazines top 500 albums of all time, and it was my first review, as I saw the thread that encouraged users to write reviews on RS's top 500 albums. And even if it wasn't my first review it would still get a classic rating from me. Because it is a bonafide classic. And I can link you to countless more reviewers far greater then I who have said the same and can back up my rating. Like I said, some things are obvious. Is it my favorite X album? Nope. It's my third favorite. Will I be reviewing the other two I hold above it? Yup. Will they be getting classic ratings? Nope. Because Wild Gift came first and without it the other two could not exist. It set them up and served a bigger purpose. As did Los Angeles, another classic X album. You don't have to like the albums, but being objective rather then subjective it's no less true.


EDIT: I got the favorite bands thing worked out, Spat. Thanks. Your second suggestion worked.

[Damrod]

I deem albums classic, that really influenced music in general or a broad way. Or in other words, that had a huge impact. Even if they are not musically the best that is out there.

Example:
Nevermind by Nirvana. Nothing too up there, but it had an undeniable impact on the music scene.

So, I think not many albums can be considered classic IMO, especially ones that came out this year/last year.

[pulseczar]

lawl. He's quite the character.

[morrissey]

I think I agree with both of you then on the separation between a 5 star rating and a classic. I disagree with the reasoning (I just can't back the opinion that classic albums are universal) but it seems like a reasonable solution.

[Jom]

What's up guys, posting in my technology class for school because I finished the lab.

I'll hopefully have the awards show up late tonight. I'm having a ton of fun writing the show, so hopefully I can get you guys to have a few laughs.

Until then, see you all soon, heh.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Jom, I can't remember if I sent you my list for the awards so Im gonna send it again. Or for the first time, whichever is it.

[Iai]

I'm writing a review :eek:

Shame you won't see it until next Monday.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I'm almost done with my Disturbed review, but I need to show you all something (those who know your guitar).


The second single, Stricken, features Dan Donegan at perhaps his best. He opens up the song with two fingered dyads that slide using a four-over-three polyrhythmic style; separating each slid dyad is an open E. Dan uses this same style with the verse as well using mostly single notes, but including dyads as well, mainly at the tail end of the verses. The chorus is the simplest of the song with some simple, and straightforward riffing. When the song reaches the interlude, Dan plays the same thing he did with the intro, but only uses single notes rather than dyads. The best part of Dan’s performance on the song is easily the solo, which is played in the D Dorian mode, with a B Natural working as an accidental. He uses the 4:3 polyrythm again in the solo at 2:23 at some double-stop bends, and again 2:36 at the 32nd note pull-off phrase. ( from Guitar One)

Does this all sound right?

On a side note:

Kripes is to Coheed & Cambria as Scruples is to Halo: Combat Evolved :-D

[pulseczar]

I think it goes into too much detail about his performance; it's not the kind of thing I'd want to read in a review describing an album. But that's just me.

I have to do my Cat Stevens - Catch Bull at Four review again :mad: Come on people, no one can retrieve it from their temporary internet files?

edit: Nevermind, I was gonna rewrite that review anyway. It wasn't as detailed as it could've been. I might make the rating higher too, the album's grown on me more, might be a 3.5 now.

[Dave de Sylvia]

No, Kripes, leave out the Dorian crap. It'll mean nothing to half your audience.

[Storm In A Teacup]

That's what I was thinking. :(

Damn, oh well, I'll deal.

Cravinov put them there.

:rolleyes: He would do that.

[Jawaharal]

What the hell are dyads?

Nevermind, I just remebered :)

[pulseczar]

I never took lessons, self-taught :cool: I don't see the point learning any of it. So yeah, that whole paragraph made no sense to me, Kripes. In other news, I've finally decided on my top ten favourite albums of all time:
1 Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
2 Pink Floyd - Animals
3 The Beatles - Abbey Road
4 Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
5 Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible
6 The Cure - Disintegration
7 David Bowie - Low
8 King Crimson - Red
9 Nine Inch Nails - Downward Spiral
10 The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin

[Jom]

Kripes: if you're going to put in all that hoo-hah about what Donegan is doing in one solo, you have to quote your source.

I agree with SOP - only a handful of people will care about what Donegan's soloing style for that song is, and even then, I agree with (Galapagos, was it? I can't recall) who said that nobody wants to read about that anyway in a review. If people want to read that, they'll pick up a guitar mag.

Also: I'm almost done with the awards show, but I have to go back to class for three hours :gah:

So, it'll be up sometime after my class or tomorrow. I'm doing my best to make it an awesome ceremony :D

It's reallllly annoying when someone does this, but it isn't really stopped by mods. The only time they take action is when they find a user is systematically neg voting another user. Or if they repeatedly neg vote without a comment (like what happened to Cathedral and ShadowsFallowen a while ago)

Hey guys, I need a favor. Could you give me one or two albums, released in the last 15 years, that you consider just fantastic? They need to be mainstream albums. I have this gift certificate I just recieved for my birthday, and I need to use it on something. It's for iTunes.

[Storm In A Teacup]

If you dig deep you'll find that iTunes actually has a lot of bands that aren't even close to mainstream, and are also metal too. :)

My only recommendation I can think of right now is The Verve-Urban Hyms.

Another good one is Fiona Apple-When The Pawn

[Storm In A Teacup]

I saw it, but I just figured he thought all they had was mainstream bands on there. :confused:


Oh wait... I think I get it, or not. :confused:

Stop thinking if you have a headache, kiddo. Your brains might ooze out of your ears.

I've always wondered exactly what this :-/ means. I have some vague idea, and I use it when appropriate, but I'm not exactly sure what emotion it conveys. See, it doesn't look as simple as just the generic "sad" or "disappointed." That little cute face conveys other emotions that are just plain hard to describe. It can even be amused. I suppose it depends solely on the context. It's an almost universal (planetary, let's say) smiley. Wait...I answered my own question. Or did I? Someone explain.

[morrissey]

It means "meh", basically, or a saddish shrug.

[ocelot-05]

God, Mr. House is so intimidating. I'm very happy for Hugh Laurie for winning the Golden Globe.

Thanks, morrissey. That smiley has always been my favorite...

[Jom]

Say you're presented with two (or more) options that are equally displeasing. You'd make that face.

Or, if someone tells you bad news.

Or, if you're kind of depressed and just kinda go "Blahhhhhhhhh," or "Meh" as Moz said.

My favorite was Burt's : | smiley. That one was intimidating everytime he posted it.

I'm getting into more Metal-like music. Stuff like Dream Theater and Fear my Thoughts. The latter is more like the usual stuff I listen to.

Hey folks, back from the interview. The head of the human resources department was a very nice lady, and the two folks of IT were nice as well. They said basically I am overqualified for the trainee position I applied for. But we got along quite well, so I hope it turns out to the better. :)

Thanks for the heads up everyone :thumb:

I hope you get it; sometimes it's OK to start from below your station if it means getting a good job in the end.

Can you check the band edit queue? I've submitted three or four bios in the past few days and none have been accepted yet. Thanks :)

[Damrod]

I just put through all stuff that was well written, not just as joke etc. (sometimes it's really funny what people want to submit as band bio :lol: )

If yours not among it, I'm afraid it was rejected :(

[Dave de Sylvia]

Oh dear :-\ Is there a limit on how long they can be? I submitted a couple of pretty long ones and they seem to have been rejected. Also, is there a reason why they just appear as a huge block of text? Example: Madonna (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands.php?bandid=806)

[Damrod]

I personally think the bios should be to the point, not too long. But that's only my personal view on it.

Regarding the formatting: It *should* carry over any line breaks you enter into the input box. If it does not, please point that out, so mx can have a look at it.

If i may bring back the Chuck Norris jokes, I did an English Talk Show project and i was the host. Guess who the host was? Chuck Norris, thankyaverymuch. I printed up a list of Chuck Norris jokes, thanks to Jom, and gave the members in my group the list. During the presentation, each person said a random Chuck Norris joke.

Mine was- A blind man once stepped into Chuck Norris' shoes. Chuck Norris replied 'What are you doing? Do you know I am Chuck Norris?' When the blind man heard his name, his vision was instantly cured. Too bad the first and last thing he ever saw, was a painful roundhouse kick to the face from Chuck Norris.

[pulseczar]

I wrote 'the chief export of Chuck Norris is pain' on the black board in the middle of English class. I think they're lame now though.

Quick review, at least for me, and I will finish my Zappa review sometime this weekend, because I have a little time right now, and I could do this.

What are you talking about, Meshuggah's I? As long as it's an EP and not a single, you're fine. Just be weary not to break the song down by minutes, because it's more of a "this happens at dundundun, and then two minutes later it goes dundunDUNdun."

Fair warning: none of your reviews are going to go through until you finish your Zappa one, since you submitted that first.

I feel like I haven't had a wink of sleep this whole week. :( I try to stay awake in class, but it's really hard. :-/

[Storm In A Teacup]

I'm not entirely sure why, but the two In Flames songs Dead End, and Crawl Through Knives remind me of Unearth.

It'll be interesting to listen to some more In Flames tomorrow.

Woah, I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't know there was any snow coming our way. Too bad it's all north of me.

Where do you live?
