I'm not saying that you aren't entitled to your opinion. I'm saying that you gave a 1.0 (awful) score to the album which (very powerfully and very publicly) states that it sucks and has no redeeming qualities.



The community, however, has given this album an average score of 3.4. This includes a great many people and at least one of the more popular contributor reviews giving it glowing marks.



I don't actually care if you liked the album or not. My problem with your review is that it reads like someone who knew they didn't like an album before they listened to it, and upon not being convinced otherwise decided to abuse their power as an influencer to shit all over it.



There is a big difference between "do I like this album?" and "is this album any good?"



Rather than writing about whether or not the album is any good, you decided to unleash a masturbatory diatribe detailing the reasons that you do not like it. This is easily proven by the disparity between your score and the average.



In summary, this album is objectively not "awful." I cannot say the same for the "review".

"There is a big difference between 'do I like this album?' and 'is this album any good?'"

seconded. Some of the 1s and 5s on this site are not accompanied by enough objective justification for music that could be deemed abysmal or classic.

LOL! I believe they refer to that sort of thing as "malicious compliance." Still hilarious.

To politely continue here: I said it has little redeeming qualities. And like you mention, I am entitled to my opinion.



The community, however, has given this album an average score of 3.4. This includes a great many people and at least one of the more popular contributor reviews giving it glowing marks.




Those are average scores made up of people's opinions. Some fives, a lot of three's and a few 1.5's and 1's. It's a spread reflective of an aggregated and collective tally which doesn't actually mean anything in subject objectivity. Let me try and explain: If I had reviewed this at the average it would be a biased benefiting a sheep thought which would suggest I hadn't reviewed this without others' input. Since I reviewed this objectively (yes, based on subjective opinion - to which you've already said I'm entitled to) I wasn't about to let others' opinions sway my analysis.

You're reading too much into it and finding tone to suit this wild speculation? I've already stated {in a previous comment/1000 pages ago} that I had hopes for a solid record, even if I wasn't expecting a perfect album. For scores sake this equates to a 3 or 3.5/5. As you can see I was let down, a lot.



and at least one of the more popular contributor reviews giving it glowing marks.





There isn't another contrib review on this... please explain? Again, that would come down to entitled opinion wouldn't it. I mean I don't see you shitting on the 4/5 user review...



decided to abuse their power as an influencer to shit all over it.




I wrote a review, full of opinions and analytical judgement - including some stretched analogies to the Alien movies and one line of hyperbole. If "shit" was given, it was (in my opinion as you put it) wholly deserved.

Agreed there's a difference - but not to the extent as to which you lay your point. I'm not trying to be a dick here but If the album is not good then it's not going to get liked.



Rather than writing about whether or not the album is any good,




This is about as far away from the truth as you're gonna get honestly. This "unleash a masturbatory diatribe " as you put it didn't get me hard at all.



This is easily proven by the disparity between your score and the average.




Again, the average is irrelevant.



In summary, this album is objectively not "awful."




Here it is. I'm sorry man.

@Sitar: Pissy indeed. Pleb and all.



@Nocte:

1.) I was mistaken. The other review I read was a User review. My apologies for that.

https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/79941/Northlane-Alien/



2.) My point wasn't that you should look to the averages when reviewing. My point was that when your analysis is so far afield from the average it says a lot. At least I would think it should. You are, of course, entitled to your opinion.



3.) We both know that you were, at the very least, nursing a partial.



Thank you for the responses. I appreciate that. I'll stop giving you shit now.
