 | RVAHC13 Hope youre doing well Sowing, have a happy Thanksgiving this week!
|
 | Winsomniac Hey dude, the album art for Advent - God is the End is broken. halp :c
|
 | Voivod Good morning Sowing from Greece, I've been meaning to ask you, is the meds thread defunct?
|
 | CaliggyJack Hey Sowing any chance you'd be able to switch my posting avatar to this https://ibb.co/VW6RSMz5 ?Not the avatar on my profile, but the one that shows up in posts on album review threads.
|
 | e210013 Sowing, for unknown reasons my review today about a Strawbs album was out in the wrong place. Two more albums were created with the same name. Can you fix it, eliminate the other two and put it in the right place? Thanks.
|
 | Wilt Hey! I spent a couple hours on a list, pressed submit and it didn't appear on the home page. Do lists usually take a bit of time to appear or need to be manually approved? I typed everything in the list page like last time and not on a seperate doc because I thought it would work like last time but now I'm worried. I was very excited to share this one! Hoping it worked!
|
 | JoyfulPlatypus Glad I decided to listen to Mae - (e)evening based on your best-of list. All of Seasons is just so damn beautiful, more albums need to end with piano pieces lol.
|
 | Squiggly Hi Sowing. I would like you or someone to all my ratings, please and thank you.
|
 | Colton oh well in that case you should definitely join and post that Madilyn Mei review :)
|
| Colton I honestly can?t tell if it?s you that joined or someone doing an impression of you
|
| Colton lol im sorry, somebody is impersonating you it seems
|
| Colton hey you should totally join this site https://www.recordtrove.com
|
| Voivod Hi Sowing, this is a heads up regarding the "For The Meds" thread; you fixed the batch of edits but forgot(?) to the post I'd made. Therefore, in the existing post, Id the fixed links and added new items that need fixing or deleting.
|
 | Gameofmetal Sure, I'll keep on and see how I feel a little later, thanks.
|
| Gameofmetal Hey buddy. How does it typically go with emeritus writers going active again? Right now I'm just floating back in slow with a couple reviews, may not keep it up but we'll see, but do I just get bumped back to staff later if I keep going or what?
|
 | Asura14 did you by any chance check this year's Flipturn album? got no traction on sput but it's fantastic and I think it'll be something you'd enjoy
|
 | Wildcardbitchesss u know if anyone here got an advanced copy of the new Deftones record? Itd be cool to have a review up on release
|
| RVAHC13 Appreciate you (or whoever else) has been featuring my write-ups lately. I always feel like the albums are too old to be up top lol
|
 | Shamus248 Can you also my T Swift evermore review? That's another rewrite in the works!!
|
 | GreyShadow Understood! well, only a few months for us normies
|
| GreyShadow sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. well how'd you like Behind the Clock?
|
| GreyShadow okay, i dont need a leak or anything but i just need to know the new AFI is better than Bodies.
|
 | Gyromania Yo! I?m gonna reply to you on gmail on my laptop tonight. For whatever reason the phone app just isn?t working for me. Sent you two email replies but they keep going to drafts and not actually sending
|
 | Feather Oh s***! My bad man. I will join, let me hop on the discord. Also, welcome back to reviewing king :-)
|
| Shamus248 i hate to do it to my 18 yr old self, but can you my review of Neck Deep 'Life's Not Out to Get You'? i'm doing a rewrite next week for its 10th anniversary!
|
 | InfernalDeity Hey bud, one of the reasons I have been absent is because I canto sign in on any other device than my old macbook. Would you be able to help me with that?
|
| Gyromania I was away from the site for about a month due to health issues, but it seems like half the staff roster has been cut and Johnny is just gone now?
|
 | Icebloom Thanks for the response - I haven't fully read the document, but I'll check it again to see your reaction. No further questions rn. Good luck filling the vacant staff posts!
|
| Shamus248 I think picking a smaller image was in fact the solution! Thanks buddy!
|
| Shamus248 Hey man, hope you're well. I'm trying to change my profile pic, keep getting the jpg/jpeg error, even though the image is a jpeg. is this feature disabled at the moment or am i just going bananas?
|
 | Comatorium. Oh sowing. Apparently you?re a fascist thug now. Just know not all users are blindly siding one way or the other. Yall both have issues but the entitlement and tantrums from one specific side are just wild.
|
| Icebloom Hey Sowing! I understand a majority of staff writers have been banned, demoted to user or have voluntarily decided to give up their positions. It worries me to see so many active users (permanently?) leaving Sput. Could you maybe give your take on what happened and how you see Sput going forwards? Hope to hear from you.
|
 | PanosChris Once again, I feel flattered by those mentions, thank you so much!
|
| PanosChris Hello Sowing - hope this finds you well. As an infrequent Sput user (who is recently more involved), I just took notice of something and wanted to (very belatedly) thank you for it; three of my past reviews were featured on your 'Best User Reviews' lists (March and May '22, February '23). It's a huge honor being recognized like this and I feel bad for not seeing that sooner, but I had no clue lists existed on this site.
|
 | pizzamachine Response to your email is sent. Sorry for the delay!
|
 | SlothcoreSam Hey, did you ever check Sunny Day Real Estate - How It Feels to Be Something On? I listened again for the first time in ages, and immediately thought you would have 5'd this, Brand New must have been heavily influenced by them.
|
 | Koris Hey Sowing, hope you've been doing well. Just letting you know I'm ready to return to the staff discord server; would you happen to have an invite link I can use?
|
| Gyromania Hey dude, how?ve you been? You got a min to chat on google sometime? Or fb or wherever
|
 | teebs72 You see my post on the brand new sub? Really blowing up haha
|
 | auberginedreams would it be possible to get this list featured?https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=207869
|
| auberginedreams just put out my new ep! also I?m trying to fix the album art and tracklist and it?s giving me an error lol
|
| teebs72 Hey Sowing! Teebs from oos here, sent you an advance of our new album on your Gmail, not sure if you got it!
|
 | Atari my man, don't sleep on the new Craig Finn!
|
 | Hawks Hey bro give me one of your fav indie releases from this year that doesn't have a review so I can write something up. I'm liking branching out of my metal comfort zone lol.
|
 | LunaticSoul Appreciate the feedback :). Might ask another prog-head if they feel like helping out putting a news post out!
|
| Feather You are the only person in the coheed thread who has agreed with me that II
|
| LunaticSoul Hey Sowing, hope all is good! Maybe you can help me out what's sput policy over shameless self promotion at the site? I just released a song out of my music project, with a music video coming out weds. Can it be posted in the news section, or a big no-no? It's good quality and a somewhat particular piece, but wanted to double check before I piss off someone over site usage.The EP is 4 singles and will be fully released later this year, I have 3 music videos coming out so will release it slowly
|
| Hawks Thats what I like to hear brother. And thanks buddy! Very much appreciated. :]
|
| Hawks A Sowing 4 for an avant-garde black metal album was not what I was expecting lol. Love to see it!
|
 | iChuckles Hmmm, not seeing anything on any of my two e-mail accounts. Try sending it again to charlie.osterlund@hotmail.com. That's where I emailed you from :)
|
| iChuckles Yo! Sent you an e-mail, lemme know if it didn't show up. Thanks again!
|
| Atari will definitely check out Fust ;)
|
 | Sunnyvale Cheers! Interested to hear what you think of it. Been a very good start to the year, February was an amazing month of new releases.
|
| Sunnyvale Yeah, sounds like a good plan. On a different note, you should check the Rapt album I reviewed recently - it's my favorite release of the year so far - folk/slowcore/chamber pop type stuff.
|
| Sunnyvale LOL (takes a bow!) - I had no idea they had a new album though, so all thanks to you!
|
| Sunnyvale Nice - will do! I heard their 2023 record previously and gave it a 3.5, I remember there was strong potential.
|
| Colton i am as sure you will like this as i am the sun will rise tomorrow https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/89527/Sam-Fender-People-Watching/
|
| Atari you really stopping at 666 reviews? lol
|
 | Manatea Nah totally fine. I keep it that way intentionally lol
|
| Manatea I don?t know whose idea the new staff delineations was but it?s brilliant and i appreciate you
|
| Feather I appreciate the positivity shoutout. Was kind of having a s*** week and that gave me a smile.
|
| Hawks All of my recent reviews have been troll negged to hell and back. Can you please look into it?
|
 | Tundra Hey, just wondering is it ok to add singles to the data base? The reason I ask is because there's this melodic dubstep scene I follow, this scene rarely puts out any EPs or Albums. I've wanted to give these artists some shine here for ages but it seems singles aren't allowed to be added. Thanks.
|
| Feather Hey man, great year end list. Hope you are doing well. Saw in your Foxing blurb that you had a tough year, hope things turn around for you going into 2025!
|
| SlothcoreSam I dare you not to 5 the new Common Sage that comes out tomorrow for you. It will scratch any Brand New itch you have in 2024
|
 | Flugmorph hi sowing, could you please this album? https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=296059
|
| Shamus248 that new YC song (!!) sounds heavenly
|
 | FearThyEvil Gotcha! Thanks! Could be alts or whatnot but it's really whatever. I just thought it was very odd given the timing and of course the mass amount lol. Love the positivity lists!
|
| FearThyEvil The review is so old and gains no traction at all as a thread so I'm genuinely confused. If I made an enemy, I'd have no idea who if any. I've kept pretty quiet for the most part and try to interact nicely with others and stay out of heated comments (save that one debate thread that got wiped I guess).
|
| FearThyEvil I normally don't care about this honestly but I just logged in today and noticed I got 5 ghost negs on my only review on this site randomly. Was that a bug or something or does someone actually have it out for me lol?
|
 | Futures just for clarification is the standard report message please allow moderators time to review your other reports? there may be something wrong there idk
|
 | NexCeleris Just stopping by to let you know we appreciate you.
|
| Futures the list is gone yes, because you seeminglyd it without looking at the comments! i did report these but even if i didn't people there saw it like hawks. it was storm in a teacup and johnnyofthewell. do you understand how hurtful that is to say to someone with cancer?
|
| Futures see that shoutbox? idk why i would make up this elaborate scheme. if only you have been through a quarter of what i've been though in my life maybe you understand. maybe.
|
| Futures very disappointed to know that people can tell me they hope i get hit by a bus and tell me to die of cancer with your endorsement. par for the course though.
|
| Feather You were correct that Ryan died suddenly and didn't know during the making of 'Maybe tomorrow...' based on some posts I am reading
|
 | Lavair Hey what's up Sowing? I haven't been on this site for years but I still think about you because you named yourself after that Brand New song. I've been listening to tons of Brand New lately
|
| Sunnyvale Yeah, the first track is one of the best, but if you dig it, I think you'll enjoy the whole thing!
|
| Sunnyvale Hi Sowing - think you might dig the album from Half Waif which came out a few weeks back - See You at the Maypole. Rather airy art pop that's also pretty dark and hits real hard.
|
 | ashcrash9 howdy sowing. it's still on the front page thanks to sunnyvale's review but if it slipped by ya, my debut album For Losers Craving Love by The Heist Revenge is out as of this past week. think you might dig it hence the shout to make sure it's on your radar. no pressure tho and thanks for all you do around here as usual
|
| Feather christian lee hutson just released a new album and I was surprised to see he has no reviews. Also surprised you didn't have any of his albums rated. His debut 'Beginners' I think you would be right up your alley. His new album is great as well. You should give either a shot.
|
 | Ryus hey sowing, i shot ya an email. ty
|
| SlothcoreSam Hey Sowing, you really need to check Sput user Madrigal30's band's new album. Wasted Space- Anyway, Anyway, Anyway. It's punky emo/ post hardcore goodness.
|
 | someone i did completely forget about that. aight, not that it makes sense as a development idea, but it does make sense as a sputnik feature... thanks aplenty
|
| Comatorium. Your foxing review is beautiful. Thank you for writing it.
|
 | Storm In A Teacup Hello Sowing. You rated Current Joys Love Pop a 3.5 but their masterpiece was 2018 A Different Age and 2nd best album is 2021 Voyager, also they have some new singles. Cheers
|
 | JesperL i think you'd enjoy the cloud cafe album!
|
| Feather Also dont bother with the new say anything album... it having vibrate on it alone makes it a pass
|
| Feather Thanks for the bump. Glad I got at least my first couple picks in! Drafting from a wedding is not easy
|
| JoyfulPlatypus Come on man, when are you gonna check out the newest Say Anything album? lmao
|
| Wildcardbitchesss ?Imagine Nearer My God fused with Daisy?just now saw this, good god sowing this is going to be album of the ****ing year isnt it
|
 | Zakusz Hey Sowing, I have another release next week if you don't mind putting it on the weekly release list for 8/23 that would be much appreciated! All the information is at this link, thanks so much! https://zakkusz.bandcamp.com/album/the-valet-at-dimensions-gate
|
| Gyromania Oh man, that?s big hype! I wish you could hook it up =[
|
 | Nbehre11 Absolutely have that date set haha - love them, and one of the few bands that tours to MN regularly haha!
|
| Nbehre11 Hey! Been a minute haha - hope you?re well, Sowing. So, an artist that isn?t in the Sput database, Maxwell Stern, just released ?In the Good Light? and it?s great. I feel like it may be up your alley. Cheers, and hope you enjoy if you?ve got time to check it out.
|
 | Egarran Hi sowing, sorry to bother you - was told to let you know that hubba is stalking me and apparently I am not the only one and it's weird and annoying to constantly have to s*** from my shoutbox and could you ban him please, thank you, and if you can't that also fine, I'll just live with this weirdo, but still
|
| Feather Thanks for the reminder, will likely win again
|
| Zakusz Hello Sowing, would it be possible to add my new release to the new release schedule for this friday 8/9? The link is below containing all artwork and information. Thanks so much! https://zakkusz.bandcamp.com/album/the-infinite-apple
|
| Hawks My whole review that I just posted is italicized idk why I edited 400 times its correct can you fix it or is this site just going further into s***???
|
| e210013 The compilation "Felona e Sorona (English language version)" of Le Orme is duplicated, Sowing. Can you the most recent? Thanks.
|
 | DadKungFu Hey Sowing, I discussed getting me on the sputnik facebook page with Gonzo a while ago and he was all on board, but I think I needed to go through you to get access. What would be your thoughts? hmu on discord if you want
|
| Shamus248 so i know you said LUTS and the bookends are your faves from Paper Walls....can you pick a definitive #1? also, is The Takedown considered a 'bookend' just on the opposite side of the spectrum? i'm not a word surgeon so help me out lol
|
 | xxm Nice Zach Bryan review.
|
 | YoYoMancuso ahoy matey, i added the new DT album to the database but the artwork isn't showing
|
 | DoofDoof The new Bonny Light Horseman double album is phenomenal, check it!
|
 | Maco097 Sup, can you please all my ratings? Is there any way to change password too? Cheers
|
| SlothcoreSam Debut album by Strelitzia "Winter", is one you can't sleep on.
|
| Hawks Hey bro can you default my new Summoning review? Old one is 20 years old and was written by a dude that hasn't been active in 15 years lol.
|
| Sunnyvale Nice! Yeah, it's becoming one of my favorite releases of the year so far.
|
| Sunnyvale Hey Sowing! Definitely recommend you check the album SublimeSound just reviewed (Frontier Ruckus-On The Northline), I'm on my second listen now it's really good. Indie folk/Americana with an Emo tinge.
|
| JoyfulPlatypus Haven't spun it yet - but is the new Alien Ant Farm worth checking out? I know you've always been a fan of theirs.
|
| YoYoMancuso besides the one that dropped last week? nah. we do have something bigger planned though
|
| YoYoMancuso take a listen to the Wonder Years single "Year of the Vulture" that dropped this year if you haven't
|
 | theBoneyKing Check out the John Moreland album I recently reviewed, I think you would enjoy it!
|
| Feather Sister Cities catches too much flack, I think it is a great album just had some production issues for some reason. I can't pick a favorite from them but its probably either greatest gen or no closer to heaven.
|
| Feather It took you longer than expected, but glad you are finally a Dan Campbell super-fan
|
 | Slex The first album helped me thru a breakup at the time so it will probably always be my favorite but yeah the new one is just wildly great, opener, Whiplash, and T/T are massive career highlights
|
| Slex Title track on the new Aaron West is the best song Soupy has ever made
|
| Slex I don't blame you, I slapped a 5 on it
|
| Slex New Vampire Weekend album is really their magnum opus, one of the best I've heard this decade (and their best album by a country mile)
|
| Hawks Can u wipe this review of mine plz??? :] https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/48446/Abyssal-UK-Denouement/
|
| Flugmorph yep works now, thanks for taking a look at it :
|
| Flugmorph good day sowing could you help me out for a spell? The album art for Hololive Music Studio - Daybreak seems to be broken after I had accidentally added it to the database without one. i submitted the correct art later but it just turned white instead of accepting the jpg.
|
 | Pikazilla I can't wait vs time won't wait vs still waiting. Who wins
|
| DoofDoof Seems fine now...but was happy accepting the image I wanted to upload last week. Who knows, good thing is its working ;)
|
| DoofDoof Thanks, I tried a few jpegs but maybe they were all too large :/
|
| DoofDoof greetings, hope the fam are well, just a quick one - is anyone else having problems with adding album art? Not working for me it seems :/
|
| DadKungFu Asking here since Discord isn't available for me rn, but is Cowboy Carter available as a promo?
|
| Colton don?t sleep on that andrew von kampen album i think you?ll like it
|
| Shamus248 Can you my Avril Let Go review? Doing a rewrite
|
| FearThyEvil So I just got a mysterious NEG on my only review and coincidentally it was right when Hawks released his temper tantrum list and everyone said some stuff. I would not be shocked if it came from him given the timing and that hed the list and probably read my comments. Normally I wouldn't care but it's pretty obvious it was him lol
|
| Sunnyvale Hey Sowing! Definitely recommend you check the new Little Kid album - my favorite release of the year so far. I saw you gave their last one a 3.5, but this feels like a real step up in my book.
|
 | hogan900 The slow songs are wonderful yea, and def reminds me of 00's indie. Glad u dug it!
|
| hogan900 jam new Friko album u will love it
|
 | Tool1 I take it names can't be changed anymore? Sorry to bother if so and if can't be done oh well, thanks anyway. I made this name ages ago and find it really cringe to look at anymore.
|
| Tool1 I mainly lurk and not sure if the site hack ruined this capability but can I have my name changed to Premonition? Also have my ratings wiped too? Thank you!
|
 | neekafat I know the time for catchup is over but no one's really done with 2023 folk music if they haven't heard the new King Creosote
|
 | artificialbox Sowing I have a random underrated album rec for you since you seem to like Brand New influenced indie rock/phc like The Republic of Wolves and Out of Service. Just remembered this band out of the blue the other day and forgot how good they are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWmaZSA2Juc
|
 | Toondude10 Seems like the site's certificate expired again https://prnt.sc/1Mk-cKazCBjQ
|
| JoyfulPlatypus Hey Sowing - you ever heard of Dead Poet Society (the band, not the movie)? They put out their new album today and I'm FLOORED by it, definitely feels like something that'd be up your alley. Kinda reminds me Royal Blood or Nothing But Thieves. Anyway, you should check it out!
|
 | SteakByrnes Hey sowing I was wondering, is Jom still lurking in the shadows helping out? I know his account got like locked last year from the hack but was curious if he's still here in some fashion. Hope he's doing well
|
| Shamus248 I wanna add A Hopeful Sign to YC's page but would it go under LPs or compilations? I prefer compilations bc it's all old songs, but what's the rule of thumb among admins/mods?
|
 | JayEnder Hey Sowing, hope you're doing well. Was wondering if you could axe my Casey review, it's too expository and I'd like a second chance to write a better one. Thanks!
|
 | drillcosby Hey, thanks and sorry for the late reply. I got the job anyway, despite only working in 2 places since college thank god bc working from home is absolutely not for me. thanks again for the offer.
|
| DoofDoof np, looking forward to the review and the thread!
|
| DoofDoof festive greetings, the new Felice Brothers available for purchase on bandcamp is really really strong again - guess it will go up on streaming some time but doubt you would regret the early purchase either :)
|
 | nash1311 You should check out the newest OK Goodnight album. I think you will dig
|
| teebs72 The TROW record rules! So good!
|
| Feather Have you ever listened to The Maine? I see you don't have anything rated from them and think you may dig them. After starting off their career alongside the likes of All Time Low and Cute is What we Aim for, they really shed their pop-punk side and leaned in heavy to the pop. Their self-titled album that came out this year is surprisingly good.
|
| Colton check Geese - 3D Country
|
 | Tomstein Hey Sowing I didn't know which list Voivod was talking about, but can you remove Break This Fall from Filmmaker (COL)? I thought it was one of their albums by mistake when someone also got them mixed up with a band with the same name in the site Album Of The Year.
|
| Slex Check out the album by Fear Not Ourselves Alone, my AOTY
|
| Shamus248 can you my State Champs Around the World and Back review? Doing a rewrite
|
| SlothcoreSam Before you finalize your end of year list. Check the debut by Irish Post-Punk/alt rock band, The Clockworks- Exit Strategy, that just came out. The highs are very high, but there is a bit of filler in between.
|
 | mouldypigeon Ok I see that makes sense, thanks so much! The music in question is this: https://www.discogs.com/release/342218-Land-Opuscule and I think all artists going by "Land" are pretty obscure but this one at least seems to be definitely French. Is the France tag "FRA"?
|
| Zakusz Here is the link to my release if you could please add it to the weekly releases when you have a moment. Any chance it could b reviewed? I'd love to know what people think about it. It's a progressive rock instrumental album. It will be available on streaming services on Sunday. Here is the album cover and a bonus track (Manchester orchestra The Silence) Thanks! https://zakkusz.bandcamp.com/track/the-silence-manchester-orchestra-cover
|
 | ToSmokMuzyki yo i know ur not much into metal stuff but the first two tracks of this album reminded me too much of yellowcard https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/5210/Elvenking-The-Winter-Wake/
|
| mouldypigeon greetings, I didn't know where else to ask this but do you mind telling me how I can go about adding an artist if their name is shared by another act?
|
 | conesmoke Hey can you please help me my sputnik account along with all comments and reviews? I asked Jom but no response
|
 | WatchItExplode They were informed I'm not affiliated with the site and just trying to cook something up just so you know
|
| WatchItExplode can you please DM / email me (press @ audioantihero . com) because I'd love to set this up. Sputnik is real as hell.That's for you...I will submit questions
|
| Zakusz Hey sowing, you probably get this all the time and I am sure it is posted somewhere but how do I change my avatar?
|
| Shamus248 would you be willing to take a gander at my YC self titled ranking when you have a sec
|
 | Colton61 what?s your favourite track on Leave Me For The Crows? I like It?s What It Is
|
 | Nagrarok Thanks for taking care of the ban, it wasn't ideal not being able to do anything around here for so long :)
|
| drillcosby Oh darn. Well, thanks for briefing on what's happened. I guess I'll just write on this account. I have a very different taste so it's fitting to start over on a new acct.
|
 | JefferyPigglestein hi can you please ask johnny to stop deleting all my comments thank you i am very tired of this
|
| JefferyPigglestein doesn?t seem great for the site to have a staff member arbitrarily decide to every comment a user makes because they?re salty the mods wouldn?t ban them. it?s a weird one sided beef that I do not understand
|
 | annderson Hey Sowing, I'm new here, but I've been reading your reviews on Taylor's albums for a while. When are you doing the complete 1989 (TV) review? Waiting for it. Thank you.
|
| JefferyPigglestein am really just trying to be part of this community in a way I am comfortable with and don't see why I should be banned just because johnny doesn't like me. pls reconsider ty
|
| JefferyPigglestein I do not know why people are asking for me to be banned as I have not done anything to anyone and simply come here to discuss music. maybe joke around a little bit but have not done anything harmful at all
|
| Slex Thanks! Him n Johnny are helping me out with it
|
|
