12.23.13 | I am sorry, but I hate all these albums. I just don't like Radiohead's type of music. sorry |
Judio!
12.23.13 | well it's your opinion I suppose. Prepare to get shit for this though. |
avonbarksdale221
12.23.13 | Nah your opinion fucking sucks
Pretty sure it's to prevent troll ratings from lowering the average of highly rated albums. In all honesty though, there is no way these albums are objectively a 1.5. |
avonbarksdale221
12.23.13 | At this stage my Radiohead fanboyism is too deeply ingrained within my soul that I can't help it, sorry dude |
TayBad
12.23.13 | I am truly sorry. I just did not like the album Kid A. It put me to sleep. If you like it I think that is fine. I just don't like it. |

12.23.13 | You should recognise that Sput will never allow your bad opinions and just conform |

12.23.13 | "Pretty sure it's to prevent troll ratings from lowering the average of highly rated albums. In all honesty though, there is no way these albums are objectively a 1.5. "
Whose to say he's troll rating? An opinion is just an opinion. If he feels Kid A sucks than that's him.
I guess this site is just like that with popular albums. I can't rate Jane Doe lower than a 2.0. |
avonbarksdale221
12.23.13 | Yeah man you may as well just 5 it |
TayBad
12.23.13 | Yes,let us all conform,be the same and not think anything that challenges the system. Or we could just embrace our differences and accept the fact that we don't all have to like the same stuff. |
avonbarksdale221
12.23.13 | I didn't say that he is troll rating. I meant people who rate albums with the specific intent of lowering their average. |
zakalwe
12.23.13 | Nah it's just being blind |
sniper
12.23.13 | why bother rating at all tho |
tommygun
12.23.13 | prob cos sput knows it's a 3.5 |
Rowan5215
12.23.13 | I was only joking TayBad, God man |
Avagantamos
12.23.13 | you should be able to rate any album what you want |

12.23.13 | who comes to sputnik for ratings lmao |
sniper
12.23.13 | jeremy should rate everything for us to save time |
Havey
12.23.13 | "why bother rating at all tho"
to show what you love and draw attention to the things that affect your life~ |

12.23.13 | Band blows dick |
ExcentrifugalForz
12.23.13 | never noticed that, i like the album but now i want to rate it poorly |
slidenslip
12.23.13 | objective rating regarding art can only be determined through the average of subjective ratings, and i dont think most people here rate things objectively here lol wtf |
sniper
12.23.13 | "to show what you love and draw attention to the things that affect your life~"
i assure you that no one ever looks at your ratings page. if you want to draw attention to stuff you love, review & discuss |
Cygnatti
12.23.13 | The site just knows when to prevent people with bad taste from doing stupid things. :] |
sniper
12.23.13 | avg of subjectivity =/= objectivity wtf |
ShadowRemains
12.23.13 | oh what a hardship for you |
sniper
12.23.13 | ye i mean bottom line here is stfu and rate it a 2. if u rly care, u can review it at 1.5. |
DrMaximus
12.23.13 | Just rate it a 2 with a soundoff saying: "Album Rating: 1.5" |
Cygnatti
12.23.13 | ^^^^ |
MasBarHigeuoris21
12.23.13 | you should be able to rate any album what you want [2] |
Avagantamos
12.23.13 | I look at people's ratings pages |
sniper
12.23.13 | or if you actually give a shit about the difference between 1.5 and 2, explain yr position in a review and it will count. |
jmnewcomer18
12.23.13 | Who doesn't? The way i see it anyone who says they don't is full of shit. |
NordicMindset
12.23.13 | 5 it and everything will be better |
MasBarHigeuoris21
12.23.13 | Maybe but if we can't rate albums the way we want why even have a rating system? |
DrMaximus
12.23.13 | True, but usually all the high rated albums on the site don't warrent such a low rating anyway. |
jmnewcomer18
12.23.13 | ^ Fuck that let him rate it a 1.5 thats the most logical rating for that album anyways... |
sniper
12.23.13 | i don't look at users' ratings pages |
MasBarHigeuoris21
12.23.13 | "True, but usually all the high rated albums on the site don't warrent such a low rating anyway."
True but again it's still a matter of opinion. Even if a album has a 5 average there are still those out there that think it sucks. If even one opinion doesn't matter then a rating system is useless |
sniper
12.23.13 | and the threshold rating for highly regarded albums is to prevent troll rating, which is why you can just review it if you actually care |
DrMaximus
12.23.13 | True. They need to fix that. |
sniper
12.23.13 | just look at rym, where as soon as an album charts it starts getting tons of low ratings when it had very few before |
Guzzo10
12.23.13 | raises an interesting point, he does.
Seems like this site has more in common with Russia than just the satellite
Fucking Commies. |
Cygnatti
12.23.13 | just 5 it and be happy :D :D :D :D |
StallionMang
12.23.13 | So why do you think Kid A is a 1.5? |
MasBarHigeuoris21
12.23.13 | "and the threshold rating for highly regarded albums is to prevent troll rating, which is why you can just review it if you actually care"
That sucks. Everyone has to pay for the few idiots who choose to troll. Sputnik is communist |
Dunpeal
12.23.13 | Christmas ruined : ( |
nbaronz
12.23.13 | imo the way people freely hand out 5s on this website can be just as bad as the troll 1s and 1.5s. |
StallionMang
12.23.13 | I think most people can handle their 5 ratings better than they can handle 1s tho |
MasBarHigeuoris21
12.23.13 | Not everyone has good taste, especially people new to the site. No one should have to suffer because of that. Sputnik IS communist |
sniper
12.23.13 | i hate to be reasonable, but there is nothing communistic about banning low ratings for established classics. it would be communistic to redistribute points so that everyone's rating reflects the avg |
Albus
12.23.13 | All the ratings below 2.0 are pointless, just saying. |
Cygnatti
12.23.13 | "imo the way people freely hand out 5s on this website can be just as bad as the troll 1s and 1.5s."
those people are stupid, but no, they're not as bad. not even close. |
sniper
12.23.13 | all ratings are pretty pointless really |
DrMaximus
12.23.13 | Nah, ratings show what you like and what you don't like. |
PunchforPunch
12.23.13 | haha yeah, no, idk. |
sniper
12.23.13 | all things are meaningless |
MasBarHigeuoris21
12.23.13 | I'm just kidding about the communist thing but seriously I just feel we should be able to rate anything any how we want. I understand that not everyone is from America but in most countries you have freedom of speech unless you are saying something retarded about the government or about child porn. It should be the same with ratings. Even if something is a classic there is always someone out there who disagrees with said album being a classic. Even if that person is a dumbass he/she is still entitled objectivity |
MasBarHigeuoris21
12.23.13 | And not all of us can right a cohesive review. Let alone right a review and be able to stand up to the typhoon of criticism that will come from writing a negative review to a classic. Try writing a 1.0 review for Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here and standing up for that 1.0 |
sniper
12.23.13 | just create a thousand alt accounts and rate it a 2 on all of them (a race against time, gotta work fast and make sure to start while most users and mods are asleep), then when the average drops you can get your 1.5 in on your main before the ban hammer comes down on your many alt accounts.
or review it |
Dunpeal
12.23.13 | lol |
sniper
12.23.13 | omg ratings are not a fucking freedom of speech issue. the government is not mandating a rating of 2 or higher, sput is. this a music website that you get to use for free |
Polyethylene
12.23.13 | It's probably my favourite album ever but people not being able to rate it whatever number they want is fucking stupid, way to hivemind Sputnik |

12.23.13 | What happened to this list? I started out talking about a band I don't like and now we are on the subjects of free speech,communism and Obama. Lol. That is actually pretty funny. I. am a bit upset I can't give Kid A a 1.5, but I do not believe it is Obama's fault. Thank you all for your input and ideas, this has been a very interesting experience. |

Necrotica
12.23.13 | There's an algorithm that prevents people from giving a 1.5 or 1 to a highly-rated album on this site if it has at least 1000 or so ratings. |
someguest
12.23.13 | It's impossible for Kid A to be a 1.5 in even the most autistic person's eyes.
You're just retarded, I'm afraid. |
Trebor.
12.23.13 | "There's an algorithm that prevents people from giving a 1.5 or 1 to a highly-rated album on this site if it has at least 1000 or so ratings."
It's if the average is at least 4.4 or higher, number of ratings don't matter I think |
Necrotica
12.23.13 | I think it's 4.2, actually. Somebody tried that for Traced in Air before and they couldn't do it |
