Big in '95. Think of TDAG era Brand New mixed with early Muse but a billion times better than either and yet at the same time a million times worse than Radiohead. |

02.13.16 | Lmao fuck off. There's been a lot done since this was started. People have worked their asses off. |

02.13.16 | Nah this site rules! |
UpwardSpiral
02.13.16 | I like the simplicity. |
Flugmorph
02.13.16 | its clearly outdated but thats part of the appeal man |
Tunaboy45
02.13.16 | It gives it a low budget charm I suppose |
Keyblade
02.13.16 | just like the music we champion! |
Pon
02.13.16 | I spent so much time here compared to any other site it just looks normal now lol |
EvoHavok
02.13.16 | Some things are messy, but I like the overall design and it's easy to use. |
Archelirion
02.13.16 | I spent so much time here compared to any other site it just looks normal now lol [2] You kinda get used to its quirks after a while; I'm not sure how I'd feel if there was a last.fm style makeover imposed on it. |
worthlessscab
02.13.16 | It's 2016! |
JigglyPDiddy
02.13.16 | This site ain't no sell out. Unlike your fancy-shmancy Bitchfork. |
ChoccyPhilly
02.13.16 | Come on, this site isn't quite windows xp tier |
JigglyPDiddy
02.13.16 | It's Windows 95 tier. |

02.13.16 | "I'm not sure how I'd feel if there was a last.fm style makeover imposed on it"
I know exactly how I would feel. It would suck. |

02.13.16 | "There's been a lot done since this was started. People have worked their asses off."
true but at some point Jom started working harder than mx, cmon |
Relinquished
02.13.16 | I have faith of mx knowing how to organize and overhaul the layout properly. he did it before, but idk what's holding him back. life priorities most likely but woah, this site was copyrighted to 2014 until dec 2015-jan 2016 |
Storm In A Teacup
02.13.16 | That's why I said people and not just Ferwada.
Lmao he better get that copyright updated first |
MrSirLordGentleman
02.13.16 | Hey at least looks better than RYM |
Flugmorph
02.13.16 | yeah lol |
Asdfp277
02.13.16 | Hey at least looks better than RYM [2] |
someguest
02.13.16 | Think of it this way: your mom's pussy has taken a pounding over the years. It's not as pink as it used to be. It hangs more than it used to. It's not quite as tight. But it still gets wet.
Sputnikmusic could be described the same way. |
Storm In A Teacup
02.13.16 | Anyone who defends rym will be castrated. We are the satellite of music bitches. We cover music all over the world!!! #sputarmy |
someguest
02.13.16 | rym is more outdated and user-unfriendly than Sputnik. It's a database with a minimal graphical interface only for easier navigation. |
MrSirLordGentleman
02.13.16 | plus its community sucks so yeah
Sputnik 4 life yo |
SCREAM!
02.13.16 | Tbh most "site updates" on any site end up being kind of terrible regressions that you learn to live with because you've got no other choice. I'm happy with sput as-is. Maybe fix a few bugs but keep the layout |
someguest
02.13.16 | classics here are classics there so I don't think the communities are as far apart as you think. i'd guess the rym is a bit older. |
SCREAM!
02.13.16 | Is there really a "community" on rym? I've never really noticed any banter or much interaction at all but then again I mostly just use their charts |
MO
02.13.16 | I still love the look of this site. Everythings divided nicely on the front page and it's super easy to navigate. I hate how more and more sites are looking like total shit, perfect example nhl.com, it's fucking awful now. everything is catering way too hard towards that shitty mobile look |
Storm In A Teacup
02.13.16 | It just got annoying those years where users here would comment about how great rym was. Okay then go over there if they're so great and stop whacking them off in our space |
SCREAM!
02.13.16 | As far as their music database and charts go, sputnik can't even compare.
But the social/community/interactive aspect on sput is what makes it a much more enjoyable site |
someguest
02.13.16 | Rym is a better database, no doubt. But I can't talk shit over there. And why would I want to anyway? I know everyone over here. |
someguest
02.13.16 | Amen, Scream |
MrSirLordGentleman
02.13.16 | Database is bigger obviously, wouldn't say that the charts are better though since it has that idea of "omg this album rules: 2.5/5" |
someguest
02.13.16 | Ratings are dumb though. For example, classics and outstanding current albums could be highlighted based on the level of discussion they generate on a web site. There are other ways to separate the good from the bad. |
MrSirLordGentleman
02.13.16 | Yeah I know, but ratings are what most people would associate with the words "charts" I think
As for the level of discussion, at least in sputnik, there a plenty terrible albums that generate a lot of discussion, so not sure how it would work |
SCREAM!
02.13.16 | "Database is bigger obviously, wouldn't say that the charts are better though since it has that idea of "omg this album rules: 2.5/5""
More ratings mean the avg tends to steer towards, well, "average". If anything their ratings are closer to "reality" as an album with a 3.6 rating will really be a great album. |

02.13.16 | "If anything their ratings are closer to "reality" as an album with a 3.6 rating will really be a great album."
that's dumb, it's really just as meaningless if a good album is a 3.6 or a 4.0 tbh |
SCREAM!
02.13.16 | "that's dumb, it's really just as meaningless if a good album is a 3.6 or a 4.0 tbh"
No, it really isn't. |
ShitsofRain
02.13.16 | u r outdated |
Asdfp277
02.13.16 | it's just arbitrary |
SCREAM!
02.13.16 | If you don't see the difference between cramming all your good albums between 4 and 5 vs spreading them out between 3 and 5, then yeah, you're dumb. |

MrSirLordGentleman
02.13.16 | RYM's community has that idea of "this album is pretty good, but is not perfect objectively speaking so it can't be 5'd"
While, in general, Sputnik's vision is "I really love this album, it is a classic". I prefer that one, not that "professional" but I really think it reflects more the love and passion towards music
But hey! that's just me! |

02.13.16 | The retro feel is part of the charm to me

02.13.16 | snake: he means the year, not how this site looked in 2004 |
ChoccyPhilly
02.13.16 | also, RYM's website looks appalling.
Shame we lost a lot of good members here to them as well :[ |
MrSirLordGentleman
02.13.16 | Sputnik is people's music website |
Asdfp277
02.13.16 | it's the bernie sanders of music sites |
MrSirLordGentleman
02.13.16 | Sputnik is the glorious and all mighty USSR while RYM is Nixon's USA |
Relinquished
02.13.16 | not my kind of people |
Jekub
02.13.16 | sputnik is THE best music site |
dcalderon
02.13.16 | Worst part of RYM is their reviews. Almost all classic album reviews start with the eternal: "What more can be said about this album..."; if there's nothing else to say, why the fuck are you reviewing it? |
ChoccyPhilly
02.13.16 | Introduction of current featured review on RYM website:
"Well fuck, man. Now I'm put in this position that I'm not sure I was prepared for. It's hard to type a review for this because now, I have the burden of knowing that this is Bowie's swan song. It's an awkward position for anyone who is now hearing this. Listening to this album before and after Bowie's death is such a contrast. Things that didn't make sense before now become bleak and depressing as all hell. So let's see if I can try to make this review correctly."
What a balls introduction to a review |
someguest
02.13.16 | Have you read any user reviews here lately?
lol |
Relinquished
02.13.16 | I can see you weren't affected by bowie's death, choccy |
Asdfp277

dcalderon
02.13.16 | Have you read any user reviews here lately?
Not much; but that doesn't change anything about RYM |
p4p
02.13.16 | rym is a database not a professional music review site. its like the imdb for music. |
LotusFlower
02.13.16 | kinda is a nice way to put it.
rym is a database not a professional music review site. its like the imdb for music. [2]

Asdfp277
02.13.16 | hence, boring as fuck |
MrSirLordGentleman
02.13.16 | RYM lacks heart and soul |
someguest
02.13.16 | no shit. it's a database. |
DeadGuy
02.13.16 | rym won't let me access their site with a vpn
fucking bitches
discogs is way better anyway |
MrSirLordGentleman
02.13.16 | Ehh I don't know, I place discogs on the same category as Allmusic |
someguest
02.13.16 | Discogs is better for cataloging a vinyl collection. Rym is better for actual music research i.e. connecting genres, bands, eras. |
DeadGuy
02.13.16 | I mean I use discogs to track which actual version I have of anything, vinyl, cd, cassette, etc...
rutracker is also an excellent site to get FLAC vinyl's that you would not be able to purchase anymore as far as public sites that you don't need to be invited to join. |
Asdfp277
02.13.16 | rutracker rules yea |
someguest
02.13.16 | too bad FLACs a fucking waste of time |
Dmax28
02.13.16 | I think there is a lot of good user reviewers on this site. And this site and bandcamp both changed my life. And I hope it doesn't change much |
LotusFlower
02.13.16 | id rather have all the bugs and quirks in this system ironed out instead of trying to make it look pretty or something like that. |
DeadGuy
02.13.16 | well they have your 320 kbps versions too someguest lol
I have terabytes worth of cloud storage and fast downloads so why not. There is a difference though if ripped correctly. |
dcalderon
02.13.16 | Database wise, yeah. RYM shits all over any music site, and that includes discogs. |
someguest
02.13.16 | Unless you have studio equipment from top to bottom in your home FLAC is a waste of time*.
320 kbps will do just fine for the 99%. |
DeadGuy
02.13.16 | i feel you but it's really not a waste of time when it takes about the same amount of time to rip or download. Mere seconds of differentiation, and with what I would consider near unlimited amounts of storage why not. I mean yea if your listening through like laptop speakers then who cares. If you got a nice set up though just go for it!! haha |
someguest
02.13.16 | Seconds? Hmm, I don't know who your ISP is, but the difference is much more substantial for me. |
MrSirLordGentleman
02.13.16 | 320 is the way to go, agreed |
Aberf
02.13.16 | Oh shiet, this blew up.
I'd say no more since this is my first site for music community, I like this site's contents. Most of the reviews I see are spot on. But the system is kinda impractical. At first, I didn't know where to click to submit a review. When I try to go to sound off, I need to the bottom of the page of the review, and so on.
Other than that, I still like this website. |
Asdfp277
02.13.16 | i do not have a nice set up |

02.14.16 | Gimme larger and gif avatars and I'll be able to die in peace |
Asdfp277
02.14.16 | there are a few functionalities that could be improved, and of course the glitches can be annoying, but overall this site is great imo |

mifzal
02.15.16 | Its either Sput, Metalstorm or Metal Archives. But yeah Sput has a lively community. RYM album ratings are ok but I feel that site is used by too many wannabe music elites. and for a site with so many users its very quiet |
MrSirLordGentleman
02.15.16 | I've always wondered, Sputnik is really an important site in the musical category?
Are we actually important? o: |
