the best way to "get" this album i've found is to actively try not to "get it"

this is one of those albums that's really good for those that are fans of hardcore, punk, or metal(core)....but I'm sure the majority of the world won't/don't like this

shouldn't force people to at least 2 albums like this. universally perfect albums like A Love Supreme etc should be the only ones that should have regulated ratings. this is more of a niche classic

that all goes out the window when you're talking about music tho. there's no such thing as a "universally perfect album".



I don't agree with their ratings lock but your reasoning doesn't really apply to something with subjective enjoyment, like music, imo

rating music always has a splash of objectivity though. I know there are actually people out there that think Etienne Sin for example is good, but my guess is they're in the tiny minority. some albums are just objectively better than others. some are way better. where a website like sputnik comes in and allows us to rank albums across a continuum, there have to be some albums are just...unfuckwithable lol

like aquemini - outkast and symbolic - death are two of my fav albums, but I'd be fine with someone 1'ing them...a supreme love though? nah that's an injustice to all of music

"nah that's an injustice to all of music"



why?

because its musicianship, songwriting ability, impact and popularity are too high to allow such a rating

there's an accessibility factor too, but i can't quite explain it

" impact and popularity"



I don't really consider these when I'm rating stuff I guess. doesn't seem like something that should have pull in what the rating of an album is



"musicianship, songwriting ability"



these are only open to subjective interpretations.

rating music is like 70% objective 30% subjective to me.

technically it's 100% subjective lol but i dont like to think about it that way

I kind of used to be that. Thing is everything's subjective, it's just the standards in our minds that try to make things objective

That's why even if something is loved by a lot of people we can still fall behind "well objectively" to try and pretend like we have a point, when it's really just subjectivity

wait a minute why am i hear i don't listen to converge
