skippingboy123: Pitchfork' Best New Music Vs Sputnik

skippingboy123 07.14.11	Trying to find that perfect mixture between Pitchfork and Sputnik, well here's the list for you! The ones with the best score from both sites are Fucked Up and Bon Iver. Pitchfork just overated Bon Iver giving it a lower spot.
wabbit 07.14.11	well since they use different rating systems this is pretty dumb.
Ovrot 07.14.11	don't listen to rabbit he can't vote and is a terrorist
Parallels 07.14.11	they said deftones sucks fuck them
skippingboy123 07.14.11	Dude I just doubled Sputnik's rating score. easy as that. took awhile to make it though.
Electric City 07.14.11	what rabbit said
Trebor. 07.14.11	He means that Sputnik is an average of everyone who rated it, and Pitchfork's rating is from their staff only
taylormemer 07.14.11	Merely doubling Sputnik's score is not a reliable way of comparing ratings when the methods of our system and theirs are different... idiot.
SpottedTrout 07.14.11	Pitchforks rating system is pretty arbitrary, anyways
wabbit 07.14.11	a 4.5 and a 9 are not the same at all.
PistolPete 07.14.11	that site is so pretentious when they review, who needs 'em
Deviant. 07.14.11	Well this is a huge waste of time
skippingboy123 07.14.11	How is it not, just times 4.5 time 2. That equals a 9. Are you a bit mental. This list isn't meant to be taken too seriously. It was just an interesting list to make, I do realize that Pitchfork's score is just one guy/gal rating it so. . .!
taylormemer 07.14.11	"Pitchforks rating system is pretty arbitrary, anyways" Any rating system is arbitrary.
Trebor. 07.14.11	Plus nothing on Sputnik has higher than a 4.6, which doubled is only 9.2, so
klap 07.14.11	my personal ratings system would correlate 4.5 with a 9
SpottedTrout 07.14.11	"Any rating system is arbitrary." Yeah, i guess so.
skippingboy123 07.14.11	@Trebor. . . that cause not everyone's gonna give an album a 5 out of 5. Some might give it a 3 or 4. That why!
Trebor. 07.14.11	@Trebor. . . that cause not everyone's gonna give an album a 5 out of 5. Some might give it a 3 or 4. That why! Fucking duh dude, that was my point
PistolPete 07.14.11	@skippingboy: I think trebor's point was that since nothing on Sputnik will ever reach above 9.2, it's kinda unfair to judge alongside a site that has given out quite a few ratings above 9.2, of course troll ratings bring classic albums down on this site, duh lol srry I wrote that as trebor was writing his "rebuttal"
AngelofDeath 07.14.11	Just proves that Pitchfork overrates hipster albums.
ECRbubs 07.14.11	interesting.
TheBuzzKiller 07.14.11	@sehguh yeah they gave de-loused like 4.9. Fucking bitchfork.
SeaAnemone 07.14.11	"It's irrelevant because pitchfork is a rating from one (or at the very least, a few) people. They can give a perfect 10 whereas the law of averages dictates that sputnik will more than likely never maintain a perfect 5. So yeah, fuck this list." That's not true. Pitchfork scores reach a sort of consensus among the staff that they talk about before rating an album. That being said, these are still two starkly different ratings systems, I think. Comparing them doesn't work.
acorncheese 07.14.11	well since they use different rating systems this is pretty dumb. [2]
DocSportello 07.14.11	The whole aggregate rating system fucks with your system of comparison to the moon and back.
