01.15.07 | You bring up good points, but this is what happens when you have a community site. It's why we have moderators to deal with this crap. When someone starts reviewing on this site, chances are they're going to review something they really like. So of course there are going to be a bunch of mediocre Metallica reviews. A lot of people like Metallica, and a lot of first reviews suck.
So yeah, these are just the inevitable issues of having a community-based site. |
Eliminator
01.15.07 | It's pretty obvious that most people don't give a shit. All of this stuff has been going on for two years, longer than that, here. Making a list bitching to people on this site about things they're all pretty much aware of is pointless. |
Eliminator
01.15.07 | yeah what FP said |

01.15.07 | Dude, you go around rating random albums you've clearly never heard 1, your opinion isn't valid.
@Samthebassman. |
Tyler
01.15.07 | Even the staff reviewers have less than a 100% approval rating.
I do :P |
superfascist
01.15.07 | Well, not all the staff reviewers do. :) |
Tyler
01.15.07 | I know, I agree with you though.
I sometimes get bitchy with negs/positives, but that's only because negging a review without a comment is USELESS. If somebody were to neg a review of mine and tell me why I'd be more than accepting. It's all about giving the writer something to improve on. |
AmericnZero02
01.15.07 | This is the best list I've read in a while. I was just thinking about 1 and 6 the other day. |
IsItLuck?
01.15.07 | I agree with most of this. hey, who cares if it's not really that music related, it's a good list. which is rare. |
jameskukucka
01.15.07 | i agree 100 percent with this whole list... |
Abaddon2005
01.15.07 | First of, nice and original list, but point 5 is unnecessary, simply because every music review is subjective. What can be said though, is that some reviews are a bit more objective in their description of the album.
Example: ''The guitar work on this album is technical." while that CAN be subjective, it's often objective because it's something that, to an extend is measurable. |

01.15.07 | Jom, your name did not cross my mind once while I was writing this list. |
samthebassman
01.15.07 | Cocaine, my man, what are you saying? any proof in what you are saying?
My opinion is as valid as yours, even if you dont know what you are talking about!
Why the assumptions? |
Bfhurricane
01.15.07 | I give this list a standing ovation. But I'm a little funny about #1, like I've written 4 album reviews for 4 albums that people hardly know about, but I'm at the point where I don't give a shit if people don't recognize me for those reviews. |
NOTINTHEFACE
01.15.07 | I thought this was going to be a pointless flame-fest but I was pleasantly suprised. I recall when I first joined the site and I had been a member for about 2 months when I read a clearly biased review for "The Reason" by Hoobastank. I like that album very much and I got very ticked off at the people who were bashing it without any basis whatsoever for their opinions. But I think thats something you'll encounter in any community, and I think that Sputnik has done a very fine job of restraining that kind of thinking.
This is much more tactful than that one time the guy posted the fake review so he could bash Sputnik, and all the pointless "review-replies" that followed. I laughed my balls off tho :-P |

01.16.07 | you can pretty easily climb up in the site's rankings. Just post enough and people will know you. |
Patrick
01.16.07 | I agree 100%. Some bastards think that just because they're really cool online means that they can abuse those who are less. Well, those douches can get a life, cuz folks, this is the internet. |
3TwoCan3
01.16.07 | i coudn't agree more. FP raises a good point though. |
Tyler
01.16.07 | You've obviously had your ratings changed or deleted. I remember reporting you for rating ever CoF and Cannibal Corpse album a 1, and several other albums 1.5.
@Samthebassman. |

I didnt realize that to participate in this site I had to like everything |
labonza01
01.16.07 | Thank you Superfacist. Everybody has fallen victim to atleast one thing on this list within the community of Sputnik, and most of the time, it's completely unnecessary. One thing you missed, though, was the way that members are constantly put down and have their reviews negged based solely on thier musical taste. People really need to knock that off, you are, by no means, inferior to any person on this site because you like an unpopular genre or band, does nobody else see this?
|
JumpTheF**kUp
01.16.07 | I'm pretty sure that 1 stems from 6. The so called 'elitists' look down upon people who do inflate/deflate album ratings. To be an 'elitist' you basically have to be willing to judge music as others do (eg. giving pop more than 1's and such).
And no offence to any of the staff, I mean you do a great job, but I think the inclusion of featured staff reviews and staff picks is basically breeding elitism. I mean, it basically means that they're a notch above the rest of the users, and while they've earned it through their hard work and reviews and stuff, its probably a bit intimidating to new users when their half decent reviews are shunned for staff members. Or something.
That might not have made sense but whatever.
And also what FP said. |
ScelusNefas
01.16.07 | I agree with your points |
Angmar
01.16.07 | I agree with this list but people are people u know everyone does stuff. Some more so than others but u get the idea. |
asheroth
01.16.07 | This is one of the best lists I've ever seen. Instead of mindlessly whinging about how nobody comments your reviews (which is kinda what I was expecting) you actually back your points up.
With your 'elitism' point, I'm pretty sure FP was right when he pointed out that this was a community site. In such an environment, some people will always rise to the top, just because they're more active on the site. The only way to get recognition, if you want it, is to consistently write good reviews, and be active around the site. That's what I've been trying to do lately. |
wikuk
01.16.07 | Your very first sentence (and the explenation behind it) sucks and is very invalid. The rest however is ace. |

01.16.07 | I agree with this list, but at same time the site would be pretty boring if we didnt have some of those points. |

02.07.15 | this is an incredibly ironic and hypocritical list. Everything you just mentioned/complained about is true about yourself.
1+2 you are an elitist by making a list like this, you aren't respecting other's opinions, by calling people 'narrow minded elitists' you are essentially saying you are more elite than them.
3 this is a boring list.
4 100 'whats wrong with sputnik' lists are just as unnecessary as 10 metallica reviews
5 YOU seem to be confused as to what objectivity means
6 another example of your elitism or not valuing people's opinions, if they don't rate something how you like, they are obviously 'narrow minded elitists' or 'dont listen to the genre'. or maybe the genre really does suck.
7 you are an overly sensitive user for making a list like this |

06.03.22 | yeah 4 is probably the strongest criticism here. nobody wants to read a 14 year olds first review gushing over opeth or pink floyd or something when there is already 5+ reviews for it
i made it a sort of rule when i first started reviewing to only review things that had no review/bad reviews. |
