Album Rating: 1.0

"It would be 3.0 if you learn to use the edit function."

Album Rating: 5.0

Ahahahaha, does Sputnik really not allow you to rate this a 1.0? That's hilarious.



I understand dissenting opinions and all that, but I always listen to an album all the way through before I rate it. Usually more than once. Even if I don't enjoy it. Patience is a virtue.



If I really can't make it through it, I don't rate it. That's what I did with Hvis Lyset Tar Oss. BM just isn't my thing.

Album Rating: 5.0

It kind of makes sense a little bit.



Though I really wonder if I see more 1's or 5's thrown out on this site. I feel like they should both be used pretty sparingly, but maybe that's just me.

Ok - thanks people.

Album Rating: 5.0

Really though, the argument of "I sat through less than 1/4 of the album and didn't enjoy it, so it deserves a 1" is not a very good one.

Album Rating: 1.0


Ok - but I have listened to all of it now.

Album Rating: 5.0

Well, I'm not going to argue with you, but man, I certainly disagree.

Album Rating: 4.5

it is quite obvious that you didn't really pay any attention to this

Why?

Album Rating: 5.0

"Just wanted an idea of why people like this. It's sounds like the band has just thrown a few arbitrary chords together. Where's the crafting?"



Perhaps.

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

Amazing record. It's desolate and completely hopeless. And those crescendos are uffffff. That's why it's a so acclaimed. And because in the mid 90's there was absolutely nothing that sounded like this. I guess if you don't like really ambient-oriented minimalist-ish music this probably won't appeal to you.

one of the best and most influential albums of the past 20 years

I don't normally listen to this kind of stuff and I love it, but maybe I'm the exception

Jacquibim:
"You can still rate it below a 2.0 if you review it, I guess that's Sputnik's way of acknowledging that you "justified" your rating. Case in point; Zettel has this 1.5'd"

I just entered a '1.0 - Awful' rating on Sam Smith's 'In the lonely hour' and it was accepted (now removed).

Very strange...

So, with Sputnik, one can enter 1.0 for Sam Smith's 'In the lonely hour' , but you can't for Godspeed You! Black Emperor's 'F#A# (Infinity)'.

Maybe Sputnik have some explaining to do?

yeah really hard to come up with a reason for why you can't 1.0 this album but can 1.0 in the lonely hour

godspeed are so amazing live, damn

I wasn't super impressed when I saw them. They mostly played new stuff and it was rather muddled and disappointing
