When a release is bolded in blue it is officially in the top 10 000 (or it might be top 5 000, not sure) releases on RYM of all time (that includes all LPs, EPs, live albums, singles, mixtapes, you name it). It's a pretty big achievement.

Album Rating: 4.5

damn that's dope as hell. deserved

It has a 3.51 average though, which isn't considered to be that high. Like even Sputnik spits on that shit. However, you factor in that it has almost 11 000 ratings and that's really gonna elevate it. I'm not entirely sure how the bolding algorithm works though.

Album Rating: 4.5

3.5 on rym is like a 3.8-4 here i would say

Haha yeah pretty much

Album Rating: 3.7

The atmosphere and guitar tone on here is excellent but the songwriting got so much more captivating in Rush and Viva.

Don’t Panic and Spies are amazing tho

Album Rating: 4.0

The first six songs as an EP would probably be their best work overall, unfortunately this falls off a bit at the end.

My ratings of the songs would be something like:

1. Don't Panic 5/5

2. Shiver 4/5

3. Spies 3.5/5

4. Sparks 4/5

5. Yellow 4.5/5

6. Trouble 4.5/5

7. Parachutes 3/5

8. High Speed 2.5/5

9. We Never Change 3/5

10. Everything's Not Lost 3.5/5

So still pretty strong overall and I agree with Talons that 3.7 would be the most accurate rating for this.

Album Rating: 2.0

Best Coldplay yeah

Album Rating: 4.0

Wow, you don't like Coldplay?! You're so unique!

A nothing band making bland fluff for the mindless hordes looking to escape but not knowing how to.

Album Rating: 4.0

They were pretty much solely responsible for getting me and many other people into music, I think that proves they're worth something at the very least. At this point there's more bad stuff than good stuff in their discog but they still have 3 great records imo

Album Rating: 3.7

High Speed is 3rd or 4th best, how could you think it’s worst Boney?

Album Rating: 4.0

I used to like that one but it's pretty bland and forgettable imo

Anyone heard The Dream Syndicates new one? Absolute fucking class.

Album Rating: 3.7

It’s like the least bland on here, really nice instrumental layers

As I remember don't panic and yellow are my least faves and then everything else is good/really good

Album Rating: 3.5

SHIVEEEEEERRRRRRR

I hear ya Boney dude. It’s a crying shame tbh.

Musical scene with no bite, no thought to question, no vigour. Just a glow stick throng viewing nothing through an I-Phone.

Album Rating: 4.0

Never heard of Dream Syndicate zak

They were an 80s paisley scene band who’ve released an album after 29yrs and it’s proper guitar jangle the sort these benders can only dream of.
