09.03.19 | Idk I think neo psych is fine. I tend to think more in line with the amount of artists it would be applicable too |
GhandhiLion
09.03.19 | Nah world music is good. It sounds ignorant, but it is the accepted term. It also helps being a wide umbrella of a genre. There are probably less than 20 people on this site interested in that. |
brainmelter
09.03.19 | @ghandi yeah regular users can 0.5 only things they have a review for thru an edit |

SandwichBubble
09.03.19 | There is a way to see which albums you've uploaded, but you need to have written an album review to see it (I think, correct me if I'm wrong).

you beat me to it sandwich, but you don't need to review it to be able to access them! But I think sometimes it doesn't load all of em |

I think the added list is complete, but the hyperlinks to the albums stop working if you scroll down far enough. At least for mine it does. |

09.03.19 | Yeah im gonna quickly just post a wall of text review |
Asdfp277
09.03.19 | was gonna suggest you review something obscure with a bullshit 5 minute review, that way you get to see your uploads AND add a thread for an album that didn't have one :0 |
Asdfp277
09.03.19 | wait wait wait, so the site refresh thing means only the newest album uploads lost the artwork? thank god i keep copies of all the artwork i upload lmao
what a bother lol |

09.03.19 | Yeah, it's still a little wonky. It just went down again in the middle of my post, then came back. I think it might have lost a week or so worth of work, though. So albums that I uploaded last week are missing the cover art. |

09.03.19 | Initially we all had different profile pics and (apparently) there were missing reviews and everything, considering this seems to have been corrected now it appears to be calming down... the artwork is next. mx himself is having a conversation about the artwork earlier in the thread and doesn't say 'DON'T DO THIS YET' so I'm not sure what you're on about. |

Maybe we should look back over user torts' experimental techno ratings while we're at it, they always seemed somewhat suspect. |
GhostB1rd
09.03.19 | Don't give Sint a single new genre tag, mx. He's a terrorist. You give him an inch and he'll never stop bitching for more. The only sound strategy is to ignore him, or if it comes to it, institute a lengthy bane. |
