 | SlothcoreSam Gonna rec you a new album based on your Streetlight Manifesto review. Get Dead - Dancing with the Curse... It could be the best album in the genre, since Somewhere in the Between.
|
 | Atari late reply but really hope things are going alright with the all-virtual work situation. yeah things are going ok in my neck of the woods, thanks for asking!! depressing times, but just doing the best that I can.. my two-year old daughter brings me joy every day so that helps me get through all the chaos. I'll be curious to hear your thoughts on Cold Years once you get around to spending more time with it. I was secretly hoping you would review it, haha ;)
|
| Atari That Cold Years album you got on my radar is officially out! :) I love it so far, hard to beat a track like 31
|
 | wutang4ever sorry about that, the gif was faster than i thought, there's another one I know for a fact would be perfect but i can't find it on a GIF format, just a heads up thanks mane
|
 | JefferyBigglestein thank you for your well wishes i have sent out an investigative task force to determine who was behind the great negging of august 31st.
|
| wutang4ever sorry for the delay, if this would work I would be happy! I have tried to edit it and no avail. https://49.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3gkyrD5FL1r6v2bdo3_250.gif
|
| wutang4ever I have been trying to upload a gif for my avater for hours, nothing I can do to it lets me use it. Any way you can help a me out?
|
 | unclereich lol i knew something was sketchy with that page and there being no ratings my bad my bad
|
 | jjwitt Hey Jom, I'm trying to reset my password for my other acct. But I'm not receiving an email when I try. I ran across a forum thread where you said you could reset the password for us manually and send an email. Is that still the case? I'd really appreciate the help. The acct username is "Faderjack". Let me know if you need the email itself. Would rather not share it on your public shoutbox. Thanks.
|
| Atari Awesome! Made my day getting a rec from you :) will definitely check it out. Hope you?ve been doing well despite everything going on lately
|
 | Source hey, for some reason i don't have the ability to change my avatar anymore. i would have asked about this in the meds thread but it seems i can't make forum posts anymore either. i linked my account to a different email address a couple months ago and maybe that messed some things up with my account. have you seen this type of issue before?
|
 | ZombieToyDuck I put in the news item let me know if it's all good to go!
|
| ZombieToyDuck I attempted to friday but I'll try again now. The post went through but then never got posted. Thanks!
|
| ZombieToyDuck hey Jom, I tried posting an article about a new song from Eye of Nix and it didn't get put up still. Do you have any idea if it's still getting approved to post or should I resubmit the news article?
|
 | FR33L0RD Thanks a lot for the quick response Jom. Much appreciated. m/
|
 | ramon. Hey Jom! Can I get reverted to User? Don?t really have much time to contribute to the site these days.
|
 | evilford https://images.app.goo.gl/qq89kcuhhaufajBA6
|
| evilford Hey Jom, I won a big av thru march madness a few years ago. I would like to change the image....am I able to do that myself or do I have to have someone else do it?
|
 | dedex Indeed, thanks a lot !
|
| Atari you should check out the new album by 13 Crowes if you want something similar to Gaslight Anthem. hope things are going swell for you outside of sput! ;)
|
| dedex Hello Jom! I tried posting in the Meds' forum but apparently I have no longer the right to do so. Is there any particular reason?
|
 | TheNotrap Cheers Jom. Of course you can, I'll send you an email now
|
 | DaveyBoy Hope all is well with your good self. Things have kinda settled down from this end (well, excluding work, but that's the same for everyone). It all got pretty low there for a while as we had even more personal issues after what I initially told you. Thought we were jinxed for 2 or 3 years there. I reckon I could write a pretty devastating album on it all. Too bad I can't hold a note or play a chord to save my life.
|
| DaveyBoy Hey stranger. Believe it or not, I do still drop into the main site quite a lot to keep up with LP releases and whatnot. I probably should drop into the forums and say hi, but Im worried no-one will know who I am, LOL. I only listened to about 40 2019 LPs, so wont contribute to the year end list. Who knows what 2020 will bring. Im heading more and more to listening to only stuff that I enjoy, if that makes sense.
|
 | skelikazi Okay, I've asked for all my Intellectual Property to bed off the site -reviews and comments. I'm leaving for good and am asking again. If not, I will be taking action against the site-that is a promise. Please remove everything,as is my rights. I'm done with the site
|
 | Deez Yeah mate all good, Im not to fussed just wanted those 6s out of there! thanks man
|
| Deez Worked. Booya x
|
 | Herodotus review something so I can tell you how gay it is and how gay you are
|
| Deez hahah Nope , no idea. So why isnt it the same here and how do I change it ? Do i need to ask in the forums? Ill Never ask again. Pwomise. That half of sput is alien to me
|
| Deez Yo Jom, Hate to ask for a name change but since I havent been able to log into teh forums for..ohh..about 5 years...I want the 6s out of there just Deezer or TheDeez. Im nearly 40ffs. 666. Sorry to ask here but like i said...luv u X
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell Ahhh so that's what it was! Many thanks, all looks good now :] :]
|
 | Lelle Have any of you guys considered buying and/or taking over running the site? Or maybe MX is hard to reach? I think it would be a shame if lack of maintenance would end up causing sputnik to lose users and die. :(
|
 | kris. oh nvm i didn't see the favorite bands section, i will take my request to acad tyvm
|
 | PunchforPunch Hey Jom sorry to bother you again but I'm still banned from the forums. Not trying to having a discussion with Volumnius Flush or anything, just wanna make a quick change on my usercp.
|
| Lelle Is Jeremy still maintaining the site in any way? Do you know any indications as to any future developments of sputnik?
|
 | RegrettiSpaghetti Hello Jom, I was trying to report problems on the Help/Bugs/Suggestions forum, but when I tried, it said that I do not have permission to access this page (either insufficient privileges or my account was disabled). Is it ok if you look into it? Thank you!
|
 | garas Thanks, I'll keep that in mind! Many thanks, cheers! :]
|
| garas Greetings! May I have a question? Today as I added this album to the database (https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=325108), I noticed the album title might be too long and the last few words are missing. My question is, is it possible to add the full title, or there's a technique I didn't know about how to shorten it? The original title is '.?.?.?Ancient Magicks Uttered by the Winds and Streams'. Sorry if this was questioned before, but I couldn't find what should I do.
|
 | Kaiwaz Thank you Jom. I did make some alts and they were only for entertainment purposes only but it did get out of hand. It won't happen again.
|
 | StrikeOfTheBeast Hello Jom. Kaiwaz and I were hoping he may be released from his banning. Having spent nearly 15 years on Sputnik, he has dedicated himself to inspire and entertain his fellow Sputnikers whether it be through amusing alts or his reviews and lists. He meant no foul play through his actions and to no cause of harm to others or the site. Many of us and myself miss him and would welcome his return with open arms. I hope you and your fellow staff can find it in your heart to unban him. Warm regards
|
 | Drifter Hey Jom. Is there a chance you could change my review picture to this gif? https://media.giphy.com/media/3o7TKF44elNqqK84U0/giphy.gif
|
 | klap following upon my JLH credential - emailed you back chief
|
 | Dewinged I thought: "Great, Sowing scammed us all" ;) Just kidding! Thanks a lot Jom, no need for concern!
|
| Atari I know how it goes. I'm definitely liking it! I know EP's aren't really given the time of day around here but it couldn't be much better imo for what it is. I had overlooked The Bouncing Souls for way too long and your post a couple months ago got me into them :0)
|
| klap Check the Sputnikmusic email plz my liege
|
 | Darius The Imposter it works now. just had to wait a while after i cleared everything. thanks jomski!
|
| Darius The Imposter Hey, Ive followed exactly the directions youve said, but it seems like only my passwd on the forums has changed. On main site my login works only if i enter my old passwd. Can i change the main site one in anyway ?
|
| Atari Jom the man, you think you might take a stab at that new Bouncing Souls EP?
|
| klap thanks for getting that done so fast buddy. no problem on doing previews, etc. - it's the first time this fest is being thrown so maybe that's what's with the new questions
|
 | Brostep no worries, knowing what I know of USC and those involved in its management dysfunction is absolutely the norm. thanks again and keep me posted!
|
| Brostep hey Jom, anys on the Diso request? no worries if not, but realize if there is I don't think you have my active email (wrivitz at gmail) and wanted to pass it along
|
 | neekafat Also I accidentally put 2016 for the new 2019 Better Oblivion Community Center album ):
|
| neekafat No worries man it was an honor to share the spotlight with him! Woulda done the same in your shoes haha
|
| neekafat Hey thanks again for that opportunity Jom, really appreciate it (:
|
 | Aiwaz Any reason why my Kaiwaz account was banned? Just curious what I did to get banned. Also, can you unban that account if possible?
|
| neekafat you got everything you needed from me for today right jom?
|
 | McTime50 Would love to! Just don't know your email lmao.
|
| Dewinged Got it, answered you back, thanks Jom!
|
 | SandwichBubble Art has been sent via email. Please let me know if everything is correct!
|
 | Chortles Hey Jom, sounds great! Just sent ya an email (or hopefully... i think i found the right email from leafing around a bit)
|
 | MarsKid Absolutely, I'd love to be a part of the collaboration.
|
| neekafat *heart emoji that i cannot place due to this broken site i still love dearly*
|
| SandwichBubble Email is correct, send away! Do you know when the list goes up or is it still up in the air?
|
| neekafat bless thee powerful mod so that you may grant me thy feature on the new SOTD thread
|
| Atari made two small edits in the last sentence of my Grouper blurb ;)
|
 | Voivod I will d e l e t e my comment, if I can rectify anything.
|
| Voivod Jom, I'm sorry for disclosing an album to in the staff's year end list, if you want I will my comment.
|
 | Tyler. thank you for the honest reply
|
| Tyler. Is it worth hiring 24 fourth graders to color the siding of your house with crayon if you want hot rod flames?
|
 | Zig Jom, I can't post on forums. Anyways, there's two entries of the same album (A Star Is Born), one on Soundtrack (Film) and another on Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Cheers!
|
| neekafat Can we get a feature for the new SOTD thread? Luv yu Jom c:
|
 | theacademy might revive the brand someday, you never know!
|
 | lef456 D/elete keeps getting dropped for some reason. Just looking to get this account d/eleted. Thanks.
|
 | clavier And sorry, one more thing: in question nine, about the lyrics, there's a line that should read "I think the lyrics are very important for the making of the music more than they are for the appreciation of the music" rather than the inverse. Again, thanks, these corrections were requested by the band themselves.
|
 | Tablecloth Really? I tried looking it up and couldn't find it. Typing "Sputnikmusic.com/user/ogre" just goes to the sputnik error user page
|
| Tablecloth Could I have my name changed to "Ogre" please?
|
 | P0laris whoops, didn't mean to spam.
|
| P0laris Hello. I emailed you about an issue I"m having with my profile, just to let you know.
|
| neekafat No problem man, thank you for checking it out! Hopefully it's not too much of a pain (:
|
| neekafat I've edited artists like Chaka Khan and Courtney Marie Andrews, but that doesn't mean I want you to have to go through all their pages and edit all their information, I'm not greedy hahaha. And yes, my album edits counter does go up
|
| neekafat This is honestly a question rather than a complaint because it's not really a big deal, but is there any reason that when I edit a band page or add an album, I never get credited as an editor on the page?
|
| Kaiwaz Can you this post when you get time? I was on the wrong account my mistake. https://www.sputnikmusic.com/forums/showpost.php?p=19322796
|
 | Snake. https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=181992 hey jom, can i just have the last 10 comments in this threadd? i had a mental breakdown earlier and i no longer mean what i said and i would really appreciate if they were no longer up
|
| Aiwaz Hey Jom. Hope all is well. Was wondering if you could clear my ratings on Aiwaz? Thanks in advance.
|
| Dewinged In that case I'll try to concoct smth. Really looking forward to it, been on a Ghost kick lately.
|
| Dewinged Jom are you reviewing the new Ghost? Did you get a promo? Is it good? There's too many questions! Too many questions...
|
| clavier I thought the editing was seriously well done (the integration of media especially). Thank you!
|
| Kaiwaz Just wondered if you could my APC review.
|
 | Dedes Could I get a name change from Kingdedethefifth to Dedes? That would own.Also finally jamming more Ghost and they own too.
|
 | SowingSeason I found TruANT, unopened, at a flea market/fair for $2. I only ever had SS Recognize, Glow, and These Days from that album, so as you can imagine I'm pretty hyped right now. The reason I'm shouting to you is because you're one of the few people I could think of who might care about AAF and realize what a bargain that is for hands-down their best record :-)
|
 | Observer Hey jom, hope all is well. For some reason, I can't seem to edit my avatar anymore. Also, I'd ask you in the help forum, but it's not allowing me to post there. I think I need a new verification email sent to my new email address.
|
| ramon. Sup Jom, can I have my ratings wiped? I'm trying to impress a girl! Thanks!
|
| Snake. hello there, jom. in honor of my 21st birthday, i think it's time for the end of an era. I would like to have my username changed from SnakeDelilah to just "Snake."
|
 | danielcardoso Hi man. Sorry for the late reply, and thanks a lot for doing me this favour! Taking some time off would probably be a good idea, seen as I don't think I'll be able to be on Sputnik too much in the coming months. Could I come back to the fold as soon as I felt ready? :P
|
| SowingSeason Nice. I think you'll enjoy but probably not as much as me. Let me know though. I liked Mimicking Birds' previous record and forgot they had one coming out, so thanks for that!
|
| danielcardoso Alice In Chains, The Breeders, Screaming Trees (Buzz Factory), Pearl Jam, Mark Lanegan, Massive Attack, Kruder and Dorfmeister, Elemantra, Moon Hooch, Alfa Mist, Chris Cornell, Queens Of The Stone Age. These are the reviews that I really want to KEEP. The rest can go away :P Again, I apologize for the trouble, and I thank you for hearing me out in advance!
|
| danielcardoso Since I'm studying journalism, I'm compiling the stuff that I do as I go along so I can have this nice professional portfolio. I need effective quality control for it to be good, though, and, as a result of that, I'd be really grateful if you were to de'ete a good portion of my reviews. I've made a similar request to Sowing before, so I'm massively sorry about the inconvenience, but being that, for professional reasons, this is kind of a big deal, I'd vastly appreciate it if you could help me.
|
| danielcardoso Even if it's not like I'm planning on making a permanent departure from the website - I have some little ideas that hopefully will come to fruition soon -, I wanted to clarify things and I'd completely understand it if I were to be dropped from the "team". Regardless, I have a big favor to ask you!
|
| danielcardoso Hi man. I'd like to apologize for my non-activity in the past months. I really appreciate you for having me as a contributor, and I understand that it's been a while since I've been enough of a regular figure here. The truth is that university (as well as uni-related work projects) occupies most of my time these days, and I only expect that trend to continue in the future. That's a big part of why my presence on Sputnik has dwindled somewhat.
|
 | JustJoe. Sounds good, I'll post the new one May 1st, then lock the previous one for posting directly after. Thank you, kindly!
|
| JustJoe. Assuming that the guys behave themselves with my list, is it cool if I just close the current one going on May 1st myself? Then begin the new one after that/repeat cycle?
|
 | BurnMyThighs Eons using "****" in a derogatory manner. Please ban. Thanks."he's a ****ing **** and hope his dog gets ran over"Tool news thread. Ban thanks.
|
| Atari You mind perhaps nuking the first thread? Not sure if I even can haha. In hindsight I guess I could have just edited the instructions in the first post ;) thought we had a separate discussion/blurb thread before, but that must have been for the staff top 50
|
| Atari well, now that you put it THAT way, I'm not going to be able to un-hear those organs ;] listening again, I do agree they're overused, but it's hard not to get lost in the huge hooks and choruses. but yeah, just jammed "Etta James" and the organs don't really add anything to the song, they're just....there. aside from that I think the majority of the songs are well-written, I always tend to binge all his material when he drops a new album!
|
| Atari at the very least, I'll be curious to hear what you think of the new Brian Fallon
|
 | impoppy Is there any chance I could get my name changed to https://www.sputnikmusic.com/user/impoppy ? I can't tell if that's a user or not. Says they joined in 69 and all their reviews just say "user" and they have no comments or music chart.
|
 | granitenotebook Hey Jom, sorry to bug you, but would you be able to change my username to "granitenotebook"? I tried asking a while ago on the mods thread but I didn't get a response. If not, that's ok. thanks
|
 | Lord(e)Po)))ts Hey jom-dad? Is it possible to get all my lists except for the 2018 ones trashd or do i have to do it 1@ a time?
|
 | foxblood thanks for moving that spoon album to the correct page
|
| Atari Makes sense. Kinda how I hogged Flogging Molly?s discog until u came along and reviewed the new one haha ;)
|
| Atari Sleepwalkers is pretty amazing. Think you might bless us with a write-up for it?
|
| ramon. Oh no I threw a space to indicate no period at all! So it?d just be ?ramon?, sorry, I didn?t make it very clear! If the name without a period is taken, I?ll stick with this though! Thanks for the help man
|
| ramon. heyo jom, wanted to know how possible it is to change my username to ramon . idk how many people with that name would stumble across this site but if it is free and you could make that change, i'd be very thankful!
|
| ZombieToyDuck Hey Jom, I just added a band page for Oddnote and for some reason it added an album that just says "other". Would you be able to just that? The one with the image is the only album they have right now. Thanks!
|
 | Nocte Thanks Jom, i'll try it through a different source. It's good to be back, just need to shake off the rust and stop repeating "soundscape" so much and I should be fine. How's things been?
|
| Nocte Hey jombom, any ideas on how I change my ?fave bands? section? I need to change it from a link spam to actual bands that are revelant to sputness. It won?t save an edit.
|
 | Astral Abortis Always have blog ideas floating around in my head. If I ever come up with anything concrete I'll let you know. Thanks for letting me be contrib for a year, I tried my best to write frequent reviews and deliver a good amount of content but overall feel like the position deserves more than I'm willing to offer. Looking forward to seeing the new wave of staff/contribs this year.
|
 | Firebear Oohhhhhh my bad. What about my name for the review site? Sorry to be such a pain.
|
| Firebear Can I get my name changed to "Firebear" please? Also I can't log onto the forums for some reason.
|
 | BlackMalachite It's working now, thanks Jom! Yeah I changed my email and thought that might have been what happened even though I clicked the confirmation link.
|
| BlackMalachite Hey Jom, for some reason my account is unable to post on the forums. I'm able to post on the review site just fine, but I was gonna post some fixes in the meds thread and found I'm unable to post. Any reason for this? Thank you!
|
| Aiwaz Hey Jom. Just wondered if you could my last two posts on the forum site? I wanted to keep my post count at 6,666. If it's not too much trouble.
|
 | Archelirion Hey Jom! Now the EOY stuff is done and dusted, I was wondering whether you could sort my demotion out? Especially with promotion season coming up, I don't wanna be taking up shelf space for other writers. Hope this is okay :]
|
| Dedes If possible, I would certainly like to do a write- up!
|
| Dedes Question about the user year- end write ups...how exactly does it work? Do the users choose something to write about or is there a set "list" of sorts?
|
| neekafat I swear it had an artist name last night but it seems to have vanished... Hasan added it to his list last too with the artist name and it still showed up on his list regardless so something weird must've happened.
|
| neekafat Also new Hasan album btw, some reason got disconnected from the main page: https://iamhasan.bandcamp.com/album/province-of-the-unknown
|
| neekafat It?s a sure thing that anyone will have their own interpretation of just what to make of the soundscapes presented here, but I can only attest to my own. And while this may have been my first experience with the band, it most certainly won?t be the last."
|
| neekafat Didn't know where to put this so:"Elder graced us this year with an ethereal monolith of an album, seemingly carved out of a slab of concrete with an equal amount of muscle and grace. The ever-evolving song structures seem to coalesce and fuse into stark landscapes of apocalyptic ruin, and yet seem just as interested in the hopeful chirp of wildlife and branching foliage that naturally springs from the wreckage.
|
 | Toondude10 did anyone take the blurb for Arcane Roots at all?
|
 | linguist2011 Hey man, just thought I'd let you know I've decided to leave my input for the Best albums of 2017 blurb as I had less time to work on it than I initially thought. Sorry about the late notice.
|
 | el_newg hey Jom this is user tempest-- just wanted to create a new account, retiring that old one. I wanted to use the name el_newg for this one to be in line with my other social media accounts but was not allowed to input the underscore when creating the new account. Would love if you could please change the 0 in this username to an underscore for me. Thanks :-)
|
| neekafat Thanks dude (: Just edited it back to 2005 instead of 2015!
|
| Aiwaz Jom, I know you're strapped for time and stuff but could you please unban my original account? I love it here, love the people and just want to use my main account from back 2003 or so when I joined. It's no big deal but it would mean a lot to me, thanks.
|
| neekafat Yo Jom! Was just adding a Jason Harrod album to the database and selected the year as 2005, but it entered it as a blank year and I can't change it. It also didn't add my name as a contributor. Also, there is an image addition problem to the Ed Tullett and Novo Amor album. Sorry to be a bother but I figured I'd let you know. Thanks man!
|
| ZombieToyDuck Hey Jom I was trying to add an album to the Tonight Alive page but can't get the album image to show up for Underworld, it keeps saying "duplicate entry" would you be able to the album and I could try readding it? Or if you could reupload this picture for the album art somehow?https://www.rocksound.tv/assets/uploads/tonightalive_underworld_art.jpgI was trying to do a list with this album and wanted the art to be up there to promote it. Thanks in advance man!
|
 | Mort. Hi jom, i shoutboxed you back but it seemsTo have dissapeared? You can get to me on facebook (dean rutherford) or i have pther email addresses
|
 | TheSpirit I actually just got the email! Not such an unwise choice after all! Thank you for contacting me about this, excited to be a part of it!
|
| linguist2011 Just changed my e-mail address, realized I hadn'td it for a while. When I get the activation thing I'll let you know so you can try again.

| Atari My lips are sealed :3
|
| Atari haha :] btw have you checked out the latest DLC for breath of the wild? I'm playing through the game again right now, never got all the shrines on my first run. I've heard mixed things about it but I trust your opinion
|
| Atari do you mind switching me back to my former self? Thought the name change sounded like a cool idea but now I hate it and don't want to look like I'm trying to draw attention to myself lol. sorry for being so ADD
|
| Dedes That's odd but I mean eh, sputs weird although you probably know that.
|
| Dedes Thanks for fixing the s*** with the review man!
|
 | jagride hi can you do me a solid and d elete all my reviews on this account and this one https://www.sputnikmusic.com/user_reviews.php?memberid=435821 except the wipers one. thx a lot
|
 | SteakByrnes Yea I never really knew what to consider OSTs because they are so long most of the time and sometimes songs could be anywhere from like 50 seconds to long drawn out pieces haha. And soundtracks could also be their own category so it's confusing
|
| SteakByrnes Ah alright, just thought I'd ask because I wasn't too sure
|
| SteakByrnes Hey Jom, just a clarifying question. Would a video game soundtrack be considered a compilation? I was looking through my top 3 EPs/Compilations and forgot to consider the Persona 5 tracklist in it
|
| Archelirion That's absolutely fine, yeah - I should be able to do a few of those, provided that I've heard them :3 Thank you!
|
| Archelirion Hey Jom! I was wondering if you'd consider demoting me to 'user' again; between things in my personal life and uni taking up more of my time, I'm noticing I'm writing less and less on here, and as I'm heading into my final term it's likely that my output between now and May is gonna be very sporadic - and simply put, I don't want to be bloating the contrib list if I'm providing nothing of worth. If you'd like help with EOY stuff gimme a shout; hope this is okay. Thank you v. much :]
|
 | Boris K. Alright that did the trick. Thanks.
|
| Boris K. Could you help me activate my forum account? When I try to post I get a message that my account is not activated. I've never posted on the forum before. Thank you.
|
| BlackMalachite Thank you so much man! I cleared the cookies and cache, so now I've just gotta probably wait a day or two for it to switch.
