02.07.12 | Much more well received than I thought. |

02.07.12 | I didn't forget Opeth. I left them off here because I don't consider them all that much of a "Sputnik" band. |

And if, after thinking about it, you still came to that conclusion, post it! Don't worry about whether or not people will respect you afterwards. What good is a music forum if you can't share your thoughts about music? Every thought-out, non-troll opinion makes the site a better, more diverse place.. no matter how controversial or out-of-the-box. Hyphens! |

barbarian
02.07.12 | Personally I just do my own thing here. That's the way its always been for me the last going on 5 yrs. I haven't really made much of a massive connection with the community here. I mean, I've had moments for sure. I love the site and the people are cool. But I just don't seem to be metal enough for anyone to care lmao. |
FrankRedHot
02.07.12 | I probably shoud do a "When You're Banned" list, followed by an "Alt Guide." Complete the whole cycle of Sputnik life. |
Next
02.07.12 | Ha ha, good read. Guess I'll finally have to go give Converge a listen, he he.
Also, how is "objectivity" calculated? Does it go up if I agree with popular opinion or something? lol |
Recspecs
02.07.12 | Lol Pit please make an Alt Guide. |
FrankRedHot
02.07.12 | No, it's all based on your variety of ratings. If you rate every album a 1, then you're objectivity will be 100%.
I think I'm right..... |
Inveigh
02.07.12 | if you have an equal number of every rating your objectivity score will be 100%
I think having everything at 1 would give you a 0 |
iambandersnatch
02.07.12 | on 5 you forgot about the other option which is to 5 a female singer/songwriter |
Next
02.07.12 | Well, that seems like a silly way to handle a "objectivity rating." |
ITsHxCTOASTER
02.07.12 | "on 5 you forgot about the other option which is to 5 a female singer/songwriter"
Damn so true |
SCREAMorphine
02.07.12 | Ahaha this is good |
Kubrick
02.07.12 | "if you have an equal number of every rating your objectivity score will be 100%"
Really? That doesn't make much sense. Shouldn't it be more of a bell-curve where the peak is around 3? So then you should have the most 3 ratings and then subsequently less as you move either closer to 5 or 1.
|
Funeralopolis
02.07.12 | you found me |
tkxxx7
02.07.12 | "Shouldn't it be more of a bell-curve where the peak is around 3?"
Wouldn't that still result in an objectivity score of 100% with that input? |
iambandersnatch
02.08.12 | If your average rating is a 3 then you will have 100% obj rating. The farther away from 3 you are, the less "objective" you are.
I'm not a big fan of it personally - stuff that I would rate low I usually don't bother listening to fully in order to give an accurate score, which means I end up not rating them at all. With that approach, of course my average rating will be higher than 3. If you really wanna satisfy the obj rating (while giving honest ratings and not bullshitting) then you're forced to listen and re-listen to stuff you hate. Not fun. |
