blou52: The oldest album reviews

blou52 04.28.20	I thought this was interesting so I chose to share it. Hopefully you'll find it interesting as well
JustJoe. 04.28.20	interesting indeed
JustJoe. 04.28.20	now run the numbers to determine why i’m not cool(er) in real life
Josh D. 04.28.20	please track down ShadowsFallen and deep dive into his infamous intro paragraph.
metalhead2425 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
Relinquished 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
