Album Rating: 4.0

because i wouldn't have taken their insight into account on a purely compositional level

Album Rating: 4.4

sorry this thread is not a winner [3]

there's a difference between being aware of an opinion and being affected by it

Album Rating: 4.0

Technically i had to be affected by the opinion for it to have given me insight on what rules to follow when writing.

Album Rating: 4.0

like do you think people who take theory aren't affected by their teachings

We're talking specifically about album ratings you dingus

eh not necessarily emotionally affected. they obviously had to pass a quality litmus test for you or else you wouldn't have known whether you wanted to incorporate them or not, but their are degrees of being affected. regardless, being bothered by something utterly inconsequential is not good

Album Rating: 4.0

So, me wishing people wouldn't have just straight up threw out irrationally low ratings willy nilly and make it so a band's best record is their lowest rated in some cases is just stupid?

Album Rating: 4.0

its always disheartening when i see an average like 1.9 or so and then i listen and its nowhere near that bad

Yes

It is stupid

it's pointless, yes. these numbers on this website don't fucking matter. let people be irrational or impulsive or ironic or whatever dude. and tbh you voicing your annoyance at this only makes people want to do it more out of spite..

Album Rating: 4.0

When I see an average that low i expect garbage, not a decent overhated album

Album Rating: 4.0

plus with how irrational that shit is what's the chances of me getting an average that low on an album i drop? like fucking 100% lol

lol ya 100% fasho

Bro write the music you want to write. Who cares what other people think. It's not hard to understand.

Album Rating: 4.0

yea because i write in a style that's guaranteed to be polarizing judging by some of the albums i dig in the style that get absolutely shat on

Album Rating: 4.0

So I should just let my debut get a 1.9 for no reason

just do your thing. can't be concerned with reception.

You can't please everyone. And as I've states before, who cares what other people think. You write and listen to what makes you happy. Who cares about numbers on a random music site.
