Sputnik's rating names are dumb agreed, but I don't think I've ever payed attention to them so w/e

Album Rating: 2.0

yeah but someone else might think "omg you gave this bullshit a 3.5, you think it's great"

Album Rating: 3.5

so?

well that's generally what it means, 3.5/5 is very good

"Classic" name is just bullshit tho

Album Rating: 3.0

People who pay attention to and follow the arbitrary names assigned to the arbitrary numbers are dummies.

Album Rating: 3.5

then what's the point of ranking anything? it's all arbitrary

Album Rating: 3.0

Just follow your own personal scale. Me rating something a five means I friggin' love listening to it, it doesn't mean I think it's a "classic" or whatever.

Album Rating: 3.5

I'm just saying you're randomly stopping at the names of the rankings when your logic applies also to ranking anything

Album Rating: 3.0

Album Rating: 2.0

"well that's generally what it means, 3.5/5 is very good"



yeah but usually give my 3.5's when i like the album but don't think it's really better than that. our personal scales are just different

Album Rating: 1.5

I love how the general consensus so far has been "this band/album sucks, this band is a piece of shit" with nothing to back those statements up.

Album Rating: 2.0

"why the rating drop?"



the singer's voice just annoys me so much

Album Rating: 3.5

"Lol, that wasn't what I meant and you know it."



Of course I knew what you meant lol I'm just saying..

Album Rating: 2.0

"what about on Fake History?"



it's a lot better

Album Rating: 1.5 | Sound Off

@NonApplicable: My specific rant was perhaps a little long and tirade like, but it was a response to iChuckles who was stating that there has been no legit criticism of the sound, just blind hating. I was responding to him directly with a list of reasons why I disagree with his rating.



To pull me up on the charge of mindless hating seems a little unfair in that light

Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Off

cmon guys, this album is obviously impossible to criticize

Album Rating: 5.0

I agree that some of the vocal effects are forced and out of place (and I thoroughly respect those who were actually able to express their distaste for this album in a formal and well-articulated fashion) but I don't quite see how that alone is enough to lump this album into the "awful" category.



Have you guys heard Falling In Reverse's new album?



Now we're talking shit-fest.

Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Off

yeah

but this isn't a 5

Album Rating: 5.0

"Lol, since when did people have to start justifying their opinion of an album? You can

express your opinion without posting a "rational, productive" thesis to make it worthy or whatever."



True, but doing so definitely inspires a lot more discussion -- writing "this is fucking terrible" isn't exactly contributing to the on-going debate in regards to this album's quality.



I do enjoy reading the comments that do state that this album is terrible and with a perfectly legit list of reasons as to why, since again, this does spark some interesting discussions.

Album Rating: 1.5

FiR's new album is a 1.0. this is a 1.5. so this is 50% better than that album.
