ZilbelPing
05.19.14 | Rush, GYBE, Floyd |
someguest
05.19.14 | in that case why use a figure to describe something if it means nothing
wouldn't nothing rather be said? |
CK
05.19.14 | By saying that someguest, aren't you just degrading all your 5s to nothing? |
someguest
05.19.14 | there are instances where every album you listen to has the potential to be a 5 |
Relinquished
05.19.14 | but that's still attributing the number |
NorthernSkylark
05.19.14 | Some use letters, some use figures. That's what human beings do to try and make sense of the world, making order out of disorder and all that.
When all is said, yeah it is rather meaningless/futile as nothing in particular is said
That is why people read reviews or formulate their own opinion of the substance they deem worthy of calling art
|
deathschool
05.19.14 | Why do you have ratings then, guest?
It's perfectly fine to say to what extent you liked or disliked an album. Artistic feedback allows art to evolve. If you just said everything is either amazing or shit, it doesn't get you anywhere. |

someguest
05.19.14 | I like to simply it and say I either like it or I don't. I continue to listen to the music I like, and discard the rest.
"That is why people read reviews or formulate their own opinion of the substance they deem worthy of calling art"
Reviews are fine but writing around a figure or tacking one on at the end just to fulfill the parameters isn't. |
someguest
05.19.14 | "but that's still attributing the number"
Not really when you think about it. 5s on this web site are generally reserved for a feeling or significance. You can acknowledge them without putting them on a scale. |
deathschool
05.19.14 | You have 23 reviews with varying ratings, guest. I don't understand. |

NorthernSkylark
05.19.14 | If you wanna keep it at: art works in mysterious ways / it is inexplicable, well that's your choice, isn't it (there apparently exist a subconscious part of your brain that discards all that you dislike into one bunch, and vice versa...)
The truth is that art is not a neccessity, although people may sometimes feel that it is. If it was gone tomorrow, people would survive - most of them at least
Fulfill the parameters? What do you mean. You do same: dislike and dislike, it's a pretty simple one where likes could be assigned 5 (randomly) and dislikes 0. |
mryrtmrnfoxxxy
05.19.14 | treb you better cite me |
someguest
05.19.14 | "You have 23 reviews with varying ratings, guest. I don't understand."
You're required to pick an integer when submitting a review here. |
deathschool
05.19.14 | So why aren't they all either 5s or 1s? |
SharkTooth
05.19.14 | Also Black Sabbath and Candlemass |
someguest
05.19.14 | "So why aren't they all either 5s or 1s?"
Almost all were written when my views on examining art were quite different. |
deathschool
05.19.14 | Fair enough. I disagree with you, but if you stick to your philosophy, then I guess I can respect it. |
someguest
05.19.14 | "The truth is that art is not a neccessity, although people may sometimes feel that it is. If it was gone tomorrow, people would survive - most of them at least."
Absolutely. Art is what makes life pleasurable. It's how we value the immeasurable. |
NorthernSkylark
05.19.14 | Yeah, but you didn't quite get my point |

05.19.14 | Tell me how you don't also "fulfill your parameters" by assigning in your mind what you like and what you don't. We agree that figures and whatnot are random representations of our feeling. So far, so good. You merely use an individual system to differentiate between what's good and bad - instead of a more traditional one. |
