DoofusWainwright: Doof's Worst of 2017

Aerisavion 11.09.17	Hydrograd’s okay..
Frippertronics 11.09.17	yikes
Frippertronics 11.09.17	Bonito (kk)
Demon of the Fall 11.09.17	Doof, you could've saved yourself a lot of time here. 80% of this list was obviously going to be shit, so why bother?
DoofusWainwright 11.09.17	For some sort of sick kick?
Demon of the Fall 11.09.17	I'm a little surprised Royal Blood is THAT bad though, worse than Imagine Dragons & Fuckwit Gallagher?
Dewinged 11.09.17	Perfect. Bookmarked.
DoofusWainwright 11.09.17	I'm of the belief that if the Royal Blood lads had turned up with the demos for this album instead of the debut they wouldn't have been signed in the first place. It's that bad.
Papa Universe 11.09.17	Pos
DoofusWainwright 11.09.17	I'd say I'd have expected half of these artists to perhaps drop a decent album, and Royal Blood are in that pile. Beck, Arcade Fire and Phoenix were shockers.
Papa Universe 11.09.17	I'm really surprised about Thundercat. Jammed two tracks, didn't grip me. Doubt I'll listen to the whole record.
Demon of the Fall 11.09.17	Of course Doof, that's why I said '80% of this list'.
DoofusWainwright 11.09.17	A lot of people dig the Thundercat but I gave it two goes and it did absolutely nothing for me, more than that I found it irritating.
Divaman 11.09.17	Hmm, surprisingly not as big a bloodbath as I thought. Only one of these will make my top ten BEST albums of the year, although three would make my Top 20.
RadicalEd 11.09.17	58 is amazing. Everything else I pretty much agree with. (Some of the stuff I obviously didn't even bother with)
Gyromania 11.09.17	agreed with every one of these except lorde and paramore.
Gyromania 11.09.17	list is missing that atrocious anohni ep
DoofusWainwright 11.09.17	Ed, the Lorde has its fans for sure and it is the album I tried hardest with on this list (I'll have spun it around ten times) - I just really don't like it now, in fact if I'd only given it a few listens it would have kept a 2/5 and avoided this indignity. It actually grew off me.
DoofusWainwright 11.09.17	Gyro - EP's weren't eligible...and I haven't listened to it.
DoofusWainwright 11.09.17	Diva - Paramore top ten? Beck top 20?
Egarran 11.09.17	You weren't kidding about Royal Blood. I expect to hear the single next time I'm going discount shopping. Also the video seems to be about a serial killer who steals rabbits and uses them for car ornaments?
Divaman 11.09.17	Close. Lorde Top 10, Paramore and Foster the People Top 20. (Not much of a Beck fan).
DoofusWainwright 11.09.17	Ah, ok Diva, you do like more upbeat pop albums than me - I tend to be particularly grouchy about those. The Lorde is fair enough too, I mean most people here like it to some degree, that’s easily the most controversial choice here (with maybe ‘Thotbreaker’ just behind).
TwigTW 11.09.17	Ringo Starr, yikes . . . I've only heard 6 of these. I've been meaning to listen to more, but I guess I won't worry about it now.
zakalwe 11.09.17	Top drawer wish list.
guitarded_chuck 11.09.17	youre doing a year end list and mentioning christmas on november 9th
neekafat 11.09.17	Alternately, Worst Album Covers of 2017
DoofusWainwright 11.09.17	Chuck - I'm going to putting up three or four lists, this is the least important, I want to leave a week or so between them.
JWT155 11.09.17	Opens up Worst List - First two records will be in my top records of 2017 - alright alright alright...
DoofusWainwright 11.09.17	They're the 'least bad' on the list if that helps ease the pain at all...
JWT155 11.09.17	I'll take it
Deez 11.09.17	Some top quality Turd on there.
Divaman 11.09.17	I do, although in this case, I'm not sure that Lorde is all that upbeat. (Even Paramore's lyrics are pretty depressing, although I admit that the music belies the words).
mvdu 11.11.17	I like all three of Paramore, Lorde and Pink - and I can think of far worse than many others on here - but to each his own.
DoofusWainwright 11.11.17	Surprised no one mentioned the Algiers
ChaoticVortex 11.11.17	There are like 2 or 3 albums out of the 60 listed here that I like, which is a pretty good ratio.
JesperL 11.11.17	ed sheeran's latest album hasn't gotten nearly as much hate as it deserves tbh
DoofusWainwright 11.21.17	Might need to add a few more to this.
sixdegrees 11.21.17	worse than holes in socks?
DoofusWainwright 11.21.17	‘Fake rate’ I’m on lastfm baby, nothing to hide
sixdegrees 11.21.17	as you were >>>> sunhouse
DoofusWainwright 11.21.17	The only fake rating I got right now is the King Gizzard but that’s only a .5 or1 off reality and that’s for a good cause to keep everyone’s peckers up
DoofusWainwright 11.21.17	100% objectivity. I was at 98% anyway, it really didn’t take much to get 100% - target a few more bad albums than usual. Behold the dark arts.
sixdegrees 11.21.17	i'm not there yet I dont think
DoofusWainwright 11.21.17	That’s a rating dating back to a rec comp about two years ago :/
Futures 11.21.17	everyone knows you fake rate stuff it's pretty sad
DoofusWainwright 11.21.17	How is it fake? You’re not explaining yourself too well
Futures 11.21.17	if you don't fake rate stuff then you waste a lot of your time. i suggest taking a step outside and thinking
DoofusWainwright 11.21.17	Explain what you mean by fake rating and we can start a dialogue
Futures 11.21.17	you don't actually listen to any of your 1s. it's pretty obvious. maybe you really are a doofus LOL
DoofusWainwright 11.21.17	I don’t listen to all of them all the way through, why would I do that? Not too bright. Bad TV show - switch off after 10 minutes. Opinion - it’s bad. Same with music.
sixdegrees 11.21.17	seems lazy
Futures 11.21.17
DoofusWainwright 11.21.17	The opposite seems crazy. How difficult is it to tell something is bad?
Futures 11.21.17	made 50 alts for sunmeme
Futures 11.21.17	you probably have to listen to it first
Jots 11.21.17	gonna add about 3000 album ratings rn to include every album i didn't actually finish brb
DoofusWainwright 11.21.17	My babies can go any time, just fireflies
ArsMoriendi 11.21.17	"I don’t listen to all of them all the way through, why would I do that?" What if the second half is way better than the first lol, you'll never know. Could be the difference between a 3 and a 4
DoofusWainwright 11.21.17	Johnny if they’re 1-1.5 albums I wouldn’t see the harm. Or necessarily the point. 100% objectivity is open to all, not a closed shop.
Futures 11.21.17	listened to 10 seconds of something and rated it a 1. so cool
DoofusWainwright 11.21.17	Ars it’s not that regimented. Sometimes I research ‘the highlights’. Sometimes I scan listen the rest. It’s an album you don’t like, you do with it as you see fit.
DoofusWainwright 11.21.17	Futures you don’t rate, you only shitpost, you’ve never posted anything I’ve considered interesting/amusing/witty ?
DoofusWainwright 11.21.17	Just being honest
ArsMoriendi 11.21.17	"sometimes I research ‘the highlights’." You say this as if other people's highlights will necessarily be your highlights... What is with people being all impersonal about their personal listening experience
Jots 11.21.17	"Johnny if they’re 1-1.5 albums I wouldn’t see the harm." many 1-1.5 albums for me might be 4-4.5 albums for others. or some random band that barely has a handful of ratings. i have zero issue handing out an honest 1/5 but the very least i can do is be sure that the artist earned it.
Futures 11.21.17	Futures you don’t rate, you only shitpost, you’ve never posted anything I’ve considered interesting/amusing/witty thank god nobody cares about what your standards are.
Futures 11.21.17	you also made 50 alts to rate sunhouse a 5. that was a real thing that happened
sixdegrees 11.21.17	would you call "Futures" a 1.5/5 user after reading two of his posts
Futures 11.21.17	https://www.sputnikmusic.com/user/RodgerDodger https://www.sputnikmusic.com/user/DoofBrother https://www.sputnikmusic.com/user/BurtBackNCrack https://www.sputnikmusic.com/user/Treguard https://www.sputnikmusic.com/user/BlindMoleLunchbox https://www.sputnikmusic.com/user/EvilEyez https://www.sputnikmusic.com/user/FondleMyBaws https://www.sputnikmusic.com/user/HoneyGsBigOlJohnson https://www.sputnikmusic.com/user/JamesTheRedEngine yikes!
sixdegrees 11.21.17	are things really that slow at the retirement home? jeez
SandwichBubble 11.21.17	Doof give me control of the BurtBackNCrack account as a christmas gift
DoofusWainwright 11.21.17	There’s waaaaay more than that Futures
SandwichBubble 11.21.17	wish I was relevant enough to get cooked like a turkey this black friday, but alas
DarkTyler 11.21.17	Those are your alts
DoofusWainwright 11.21.17	Damn that’s open to everyone now Chaos
ArsMoriendi 11.21.17	I wonder if this site will ever be a place were criticism won't devolve into bullying.
DarkTyler 11.21.17	C o n t r i b u t o r
SandwichBubble 11.21.17	That was fun, thanks Doofus. Can't think of a better account to be open for public use than the account of a hairy johnson
DoofusWainwright 11.22.17	Re: The bonfire of the alts 1. They were mostly jokes for particular threads/conversations that are a distant memory and their novelty had long expired so genuinely happy to see them ‘freed’. 2. Well maybe Treguard deserved better. 3. Ok, even Treguard deserved what he got. 4. Some people arrive somewhere and are happy to take said environment and adopt rules/keep to the path. The alts became a way I’d explore the boundaries of what you could do here. They were silly but whatever. I thought they’d have been terminated ages ago. 5. Alt Rating is bad, but sadly 50% of the ratings here are from alts or departed users. Not an excuse to have joined in but eh. 6. Dunno if JamesTheRedEngine got wiped cos that one is someone else’s :D
DoofusWainwright 11.22.17	Re: Fake Rating Prefer to be positive about things. Interested in what I actually listen to and how often rather than guessing? Check my LastFM account that I’ve been using for 5 months - username Doof2016
Lord(e)Po)))ts 11.22.17	ive heard literally 1 of these
DoofusWainwright 11.22.17	The Lorde?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 11.22.17	nope lorde sucks i dont pay her any mind
DoofusWainwright 11.22.17	This year I tried pretty much anything regarded as a major release here, especially if it scored high. The Lorde is the album I listened to the most on this list, I can see why some people would enjoy it, but to like it you need to embrace the piano ballads on the album and I found those really off putting and repeat plays actually ended up intensifying that. This year was a sort of experiment I guess. Next year will I be listening to 300+ new 2018 albums? No. Was interesting though - my AOTY/SOTY lists look very different this time. Did find a lot of stuff I normally wouldn't have.
Dylan620 11.22.17	JamesTheRedEngine was mine, sorry you got hit with the blame Doof 😅
DoofusWainwright 11.22.17	Collateral damage Dyl, these are testing tunes for hard working alts 🤣
theBoneyKing 11.22.17	Lol, missed this one, must've come out when Sput was dying.
