bbgames: Allmusic Sucks

Hawks 09.14.17	Most of these ratings are absolute blasphemy.
Deathconscious 09.14.17	Thats what you get for going to another music website, fucker. Never cheat on us again.
hal1ax 09.14.17	haha no way... IDI a 4? that can't be real
bbgames 09.14.17	@AdolfChrist I've learned my lesson... haha But seriously I haven't used this site since I discovered Sput aside from looking back at their ratings and laughing at how dumb they are. At one point I used it to discover music which in hindsight was a terrible thing to do.
bbgames 09.14.17	@hal1ax I wish that it wasn't real... https://imgur.com/a/LRb9H
Hawks 09.14.17	I've never used that site and I never will after seeing this.
Papa Universe 09.14.17	The fuckity fuck is this?
advancedwarfighter 09.14.17	Meshuggah's Catch Thirtythree is 2.5/5 to them.
bbgames 09.14.17	@Hawks Avoid it like the plague
Hawks 09.14.17	I'm actually kind of offended by a lot of these tbh. Bunch of idiots over there I guess.
Avagantamos 09.14.17	they listed patterns in the ivy as one of the two noteworthy tracks on blackwater park
MrHarrison 09.14.17	3/5 for Symbolic is unforgivable.
bbgames 09.14.17	@Avagantamos that's hilarious. Blackwater Park is an album that I love all of the way through, but patterns in the ivy is far from one of the most noteworthy tracks on there
bbgames 09.14.17	"3/5 for Symbolic is unforgivable." I agree obviously, but for me the worst of all of these is rating IDI at a 4 while having Altars at a 3. Though, I guess they're saying that IDI is better than all of these albums indirectly.
bbgames 09.14.17	"I'm actually kind of offended by a lot of these tbh. Bunch of idiots over there I guess" I was too when I first found out about these. I've known about all of them for a long time, so I'm surprised that I just now decided to make this. It's slowly turned into me just laughing at them.
Astral Abortis 09.14.17	Lol who makes these ratings
BlackwaterPork 09.14.17	The BWP one has got me pissed off now
Hawks 09.14.17	"Lol who makes these ratings" Nocturnalize.
Rik VII 09.14.17	Yep, worst music site on the whole internet, don't know why it still exists, it should have died a long time ago. Especially when the reviewers of a freaking music website don't even seem to care about music enough to give it decent reviews to back their ratings.
DoofusWainwright 09.14.17	"All music sucks" Finally, let's all move on to something else
theBoneyKing 09.14.17	Not a fan of the site (anymore, used to rate there before I found sput) but fwiw they're not exactly metal authorities. They have much better ratings in some other genres. In fact their scores are usually inflated in most genres.
DoofusWainwright 09.14.17	On Allmusic if the rating doesn't have an accompanying review then that's an 'ignore' straight away
RadicalEd 09.14.17	duh.
bloc 09.14.17	Damn they are a tough crowd to please
BigBlob 09.14.17	as utterly shit as allmusic is.... Allmusic > Pitchfork
ArsMoriendi 09.14.17	I like La Cucaracha a lot honestly But yeah Quebec is obviously better.
DikkoZinner 09.14.17	Whoa, they really hate early ATG. Not cool.
Dedes 09.14.17	I actually Clandestine more tbh
Spec 09.14.17	Wow these are absurd.
neekafat 09.14.17	lol yeah they don't do metal very well
p4p 09.14.17	wow im glad peeps still listens to non techno music in this site
bbgames 09.14.17	@Bloon Finally one that isn't metal. I should have checked Ween myself, but I was getting tired of looking at these by that point. I also forgot about their terrible Entombed ratings...
bbgames 09.14.17	"Damn they are a tough crowd to please" It's interesting because they are a tough crowd to please but also an easy crowd to please at the same time. Altars of Madness doesn't impress them all that much, but GODDAMN ILLUD DIVINUM INSANUS IS GREAT!
DoofusWainwright 09.14.17	Their mainstream metal ratings look normal - just checked Pantera, Sepultura and Fear Factory
bbgames 09.14.17	@DoofusWainwright that's the other thing that I was noticing. Their ratings for more mainstream stuff like Metallica, Motorhead, Black Sabbath, etc. seemed fine. The only big exception was the Show No Mercy rating. Most of the time when they're off the mark it seems to be some type of extreme metal album.
Clegane 09.14.17	all music sucks
rodrigo90 09.14.17	Fear factory's transgression is a 4/5 for them.
50iL 09.14.17	They rated Khaooohs and Kon-Fus-Ion a godamn 3
Alastor 09.14.17	Their Camel ratings are mind-boggling. Debut at 2/5, Mirage and Moonmadness only a 3/5, but Nude at 4/5. And to make it worse it's all the same reviewer.
Tunaboy45 09.14.17	they never used to suck but now, yeah
Snowdog808 09.14.17	Yeah, Allmusic is like the Rolling Stone Magazine of the Internet.
DikkoZinner 09.14.17	Dang, just noticed the 3.5 for Onward. Lame
Satellite 09.14.17	hasn't this site taught you people to not put too much stock in album reviews?
Snowdog808 09.14.17	I have no idea how they could come to the conclusion that Bathory's debut and Twilight of the Gods or on the same level of quality as the crap stain on Quorthon's record known as Requiem. Their Queensryche ratings can be very questionable too.
Clegane 09.14.17	yeah it's almost as if music is subjective or something idk
BookoftheFallen 09.14.17	At least their server doesnt break every other day.
rodrigo90 09.14.17	Because they don't have as many users as this site.
bbgames 09.14.17	"hasn't this site taught you people to not put too much stock in album reviews?" I personally don't put any stock in these reviews. I just think they are funny.
bbgames 09.14.17	"At least their server doesnt break every other day." That is a good point. Sput sucks too in its own special ways.
bbgames 09.14.17	@Alastor I need to jam more Camel. I've only heard Mirage, and that album is amazing. Still, it's enough to know that all of what you listed is crazy.
Allergist 09.14.17	I know a Toxik's Think This is a 2/5. They also gave a Wolves In The Throne Room album a 1.5/5 Im not a huge Death metal fanboy anymore but I fail to see how anyone, especially a metal critic, could ever see 1 and 2 as mediocre.
bbgames 09.14.17	"yeah it's almost as if music is subjective or something idk" Yes, there's nowhere on here where I claim that my opinions are objective truths. I've always thought that, on this website, the "in my opinion" was assumed.
Spacesh1p 09.14.17	7 is a crime, agreed.
Clegane 09.14.17	that comment wasn't @ u, bbgames.
bbgames 09.14.17	@Clegane Yeah, now that I look back it was in response to satellite. It was just separated by another comment, so at first I thought it was directed at me. My bad
Satellite 09.14.17	my comment was @ everyone itt but i appreciate the response
rodrigo90 09.14.17	Hey thanks for adding my comment, didn't expect that.
bbgames 09.15.17	No problem
Snowdog808 09.15.17	Allmusic ratings: Rush- Self-titled and Caress of Steel (2 stars) Queensryche- Rage for Order (2 Stars) Fates Warning- The Spectre Within (2 Stars) and A Pleasant Shade of Grey (2.5 Stars) One Direction- Midnight Memories (4 Stars)
TheSonomaDude 09.15.17	1, 2, 12, 19, 33 are all cringeworthy scores I used to go to Allmusic and remember being very surprised that 19 was as awesome as it was, and that I was in the vast minority in thinking that it was excellent. Didn't realize until I left that site that Allmusic was actually in the vast minority, not me. That Allmusic 2/5 article made it seem like complete shit. Rolling Stone has some pretty awful reviews too.
Gyromania 09.15.17	Oh no! They didn't give one of your homogeneous metal albums a 5? How dare they!
bbgames 09.15.17	@Gyromania they didn't give Camel's Mirage a 5 either
TheSonomaDude 09.15.17	@Gyromania, if you're talking about 26, I think the OP meant that it was weird Allmusic rated 27 and 28 on the same level as 26, since all three of them are 4.5/5
bbgames 09.15.17	@Gyromania what TheSonomaDude said if that's how you meant it
Satellite 09.15.17	@Gyromania what's up dude
JamieTwort 09.15.17	Allmusic gave Peter Green's The End of the Game a 1/5 while the album is regarded by many as his best solo album.
Thalassic 09.15.17	Creed - My Own Prison 4/5
TheSonomaDude 09.15.17	my own prison is a pretty good album tbh and that review was written in 1997. creed didn't get universal blind hatred until they released their second album
deathschool 09.15.17	More like BALLSmusic, haha.
