it will virtually be the end of that feeling where you have the same rating as other people and you temporarily take over an album thread together ):

But when it does happen it'll feel even more special.

Why the hate on Pitchfork's rating system?

It means it's somewhere between an 8.5 and a 9, but closer to an 8.5.

I don't even know how you could rate an album that precisely though

like is it actually gonna make a difference? This album's an 8.7 so I'll check it out. This one's an 8.4 so I won't.

Considering there's so much subjectivity involved it seems pretty arbitrary

well I could see how itd help.

there are alot of albums I feel are better than a 3.5 but not quite a 4. or albums I feel are better than a 4 but not a 4.5.

im cool with the system now tho.

I dunno, in the higher ratings like 9 and above I can see those .1s being big. For me the difference between a 2 and 2.5 is fairly small, but the difference between a 4.5 and 5 is massive.

when you arrange your favorite albums of each year in order for a list, how do you arrange the albums that have the same rating (e.g. 4.5). this is why 0.1 increments is helpful, and that is how 0.1 increments are quantified

jesus christ there's subjectivity in any rating. it's really not that precise, just pick a number that you feel is right don't have a hemorrhage thinking about it

I've never really been bothered about the difference between albums I have rated the same. Often I decide the list positions on the spot and they could well have shifted around should I have made them another time. I don't really rate an album's quality that precisely in my head and the ratings are often just a rough guide.

The only time I've every seen the need for another increment is when I have albums which are between 4.5 and 5, which is why I make use of rym's 10 point scale (as oppose to sputnik's 9 point) and shove everything rung down one.

I guess I'll just ignored the change should there be one and carry on with the 9 point scale

unless I can be bothered to change all my ratings

I'm glad he didn't go with a 2.5, that would have been muuuuch too high.

I knew this band wasn't worth giving a fuck about once that hot cello chick left.

Also, if we're gonna add more score numbers, keep it at .25 increments.
