 | GiaNXGX This one too, sorry for the mess https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/88477/Agalloch-Marrow-of-the-Spirit/
|
| GiaNXGX Hi sows can you pls d this review https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/59069/Tuluum-Shimmering-Ulau-Tau---Spirit-Of-The-Sun/
|
 | 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
|
| Hawks Wipe all my reviews. Keep my ratings. Want them for my own records but I will not be active here anymore.
|
 | 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
|
| DoofDoof Any chance of The Bathers hitting the review front page?
|
| Slex Hey I did an interview with There Will Be Fireworks and I wanted to see if it's possible to get it posted on the blog? Yoyo helped edit/said he would try n see but also to ask a couple other people as well
|
 | artiswar Hi Sowing! Hope you are well. I'd like you to please unban Desdinova. It would mean a lot to me. Thank,, men have a good day
|
 | IsildursBane44 Hey Sowing! Just dropped a new album last week and was wondering if you'd give it a spin! https://open.spotify.com/album/4xIsjgpiQvPWrpxWeXi3uI?si=QK3w2VgXRB6xA0KjFxZdTA
|
 | bighubbabuddha Excellent user, you have similar tastes to me, have a cookie
|
| YoYoMancuso oh i thought you dibbed it a little while back
|
| YoYoMancuso i can already tell this sufjan review is gonna be one for the ages
|
 | FreakMachine Sowing, I don't want to put this in the med thread because it's not worth it. My brother's account, Wicka4392, was banned for no reason around the time I came back to the site on this account (a couple of days ago). I hardly think that's fair, given he was nothing but polite at all times. I can understand why it would flag us both as being the same due to shared data hubs and location, but that account was not me. Of course, battleinthenorth being banned makes sense - that was me. Wicka isnt
|
| Shamus248 Don't know if you were/are aware, but the insert for the Childhood Eyes vinyl says "Growing up has just begun" on it
|
 | emmendorfer Hey Sowing, can you do a review for Demi's compilation album "Revamped"?
|
| Shamus248 Can you my Maroon 5 IWBSBL review? Doing *yet* another re-write lol
|
| Hawks Think I might apply for contrib again next time around. Any thoughts and/or suggestions??? I'm really taking it seriously and have found such a love for writing again. Also I think I'm a pillar of this community and bring attention to a lot of unknown albums. Would love to hear your thoughts bro!
|
| Shamus248 if you get a chance to read my OA re-write, lmk what you think
|
 | Senetrix666 Hey earlier today I submitted a news item about Training for Utopia?s new single in over 20 years. Did that get looked at yet?
|
| WatchItExplode New Woods EP dropped yesterday and is fantastic in case you are unaware. I know you were a fan of strange to explain.
|
| ToSmokMuzyki as per the charli thread we would like to ask your mother exactly how does one drive a hole?
|
 | PotsyTater Me thinks the Charli thread rn is evidence enough that Colton isn?t even close to ready for his alts to stop being banned
|
| Shamus248 also can you my old Kendrick TPAB review? adding that to my series of rewrites
|
 | TrantaLocked I'm legit afraid to even use the website thinking if this guy happens upon my comment and doesn't like or agree with it, he will just it and multiple others, even if it isn't necessarily rule breaking. How exactly is that a good environment for any of the users here to be in?
|
| TrantaLocked He has absolutely shown a pattern of either d***ing or threatening to d***e peoples comments just because he doesn't like the user or if they were arguing something. And he always uses the "have an open mind" defense, but if he actually believed his own words he wouldn't feel the need to d***e people's comments.I'm sorry but it is incredibly ****ing awkward being around this person that somehow has mod powers.
|
| TrantaLocked It's uncomfortable Johnnyofthewell having mod powers with the way he acts. Am I wrong to say it feels uncomfortable feeling like you can just get your comment historyd if he doesn't like you? Look at the last few pages of the Humanity's Last Breath - Ashen. He once threatened to some of my comments once just because we were arguing. Like, how exactly is he mod material? He's just an unhinged power abuser.
|
 | CaliggyJack Hey Sowing have you listened to Salem Mass? They were a mysterious band from Idaho that made 1 album and that was it. They toured sporadically from 71-77 but only released that album and nothing else. Very little is known about its making or the members themselves. Figured you might enjoy it since you like uncut underground gems.
|
| Shamus248 something i can jam tf out to, but not necessarily streamlined radio rock or pop punk. something kinda abstract but still jammy af, with lots of guitars lmao
|
| Shamus248 when you have some free time, i'd love for you to check out my written Childhood Eyes review. CC and feedback are welcome...thank you kind sir
|
 | wwf Wow that was quick. Thank!
|
| wwf Hey Sowing can you help me fix my band's art?https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=464241Love you
|
 | DominionMM1 Not sure what info you need to send me a link through discord. my username is Royce McKutcheon#8788.
|
 | e210013 For unknown reason when I published a review today, the system created a second registry of the same album today. So, in this moment, there are 2 albums with the same name with different dates. The correct is the first one, the album of 1994 with eleven votes. Please, the register of today to I can published my review correctly. I'm talking about of "Push
|
 | zakalwe Hello sow. Scanning both the album and your personal ratings I see that you possibly haven?t listened to the Flotation Toy Warning album Bluffers Guide to the Flight Deck. That album is everything you have been looking for. I guarantee you will absolutely love it.
|
 | vult hey sowing! yeah im a pretty committed to a live draft / taking it serious enough to compete. i watch / pay attention to football enough to be competitive and im a frequent poster in the "NFL Thread aka Jackpot Juicer" thread on here. my discord username is dustyoldbones!
|
 | Colton14 what do we have to do to get back to the old us
|
 | unclereich sure do, thanks for the heads up: witchesbrew1978
|
 | AlexKzillion discord is AlexK#3512... i was planning to take a break from fantasy this year so please feel free to see if other users want to join first... i'm down to be a replacement if someone drops out or you can't get enough teams
|
 | Demon of the Fall I don't even have a Discord. I can sign-up if need be though, so will check it out.
|
 | Purpl3Spartan Check geese - 3D country. I think you'd dig it! Their debut is excellent as well. Artsy post punk band
|
| Sunnyvale Yeah, no plans for me to review it. Definitely go for it!
|
| Sunnyvale Hi Sowing! Can't say I'm an expert on Odesza by any means, I did listen to their album from last year (and rate it), but it was kind of a decent, in one ear-out the other kind of record. I have checked the recent EP too, but just one listen so far, seemed like good stuff and I will be coming back to it.
|
| Shamus248 Also here is my yc review in video form: https://youtu.be/TkFLvz9L438
|
| CaliggyJack SOWING PLEASE TELL ME YOUVE LISTENED TO STARCATCHER.ITS... ITS BEAUTIFUL...
|
| Shamus248 Hiding in the Light is one of their greatest songs EVER
|
| YoYoMancuso get on that new Alejandro/Scarypoolparty single ASAP. It's incredible
|
 | Dylan620 Hey Sowing, I was wondering if I could please have my reviewsd, except for the first?
|
 | Colton3 wanna sauce me an unban on the main or nah
|
| Shamus248 They just played You and Me and One Spotlight during soundcheck :,)
|
| Shamus248 I've got something for you to reeeaaddd...
|
| Shamus248 It's not a review of Childhood Eyes; that will wait till release. It's basically just a sappy Facebook-post-style piece of material (not too lengthy tho) that I think i'll put in a "review" for their greatest hits album which i just added to the site for that purpose lol. if that's not allowed lmk and i'll think of something else
|
| Shamus248 Hello again. How does one start a blog on here? I'm seeing YC on tues and wrote up something v meaningful that I'd like to put on here. If not a blog, I can prob work it into a review etc
|
 | Atari New Angelo De Augustine out today!
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell On holiday atm with no discord access; has anyone called dibs on the new Jeff Rosenstock?
|
| YoYoMancuso Videos of our Detroit set up now on our YouTube channel!
|
| Shamus248 I need to rewrite some album reviews...can you old ones? Reviews I wanna rewrite are Ocean Avenue, Three Days Grace self titled and Rascal Flatts "Still Feels Good"
|
| neekafat did that second Sorry album whiz by you too last year? I've just gotten into it and it's so so good, v different but criminally underrated here
|
| Shamus248 Thank you kind sir! I knew putting the swinging together segment w/ the guitar solo was a stroke of genius hahahaha
|
| Shamus248 Here's my Spidey MV i made feat. "Gifts and Curse"..if you check it lmk what you think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSuvG5EcfnQ
|
| Shamus248 LP3 responded to someone on insta saying he'd returned to YC in a heartbeat
|
| Shamus248 I was checking out your top 100 YC songs (amazing list btw) and just now realized you mentioned my TDG Explosions review in your best user reviews for May '22...thank you for your continued recognition of my writing...you're my favorite staff member lol
|
 | Parallels Perfect, thanks. It was concerning my experiment with an AI bot who insisted you wrote it, and now always refers to you as "Sowing (previously SowingSeason)"
|
| Parallels You've never written a review for the Beatles - Revolver, right? I must know... for science reasons.
|
| Shamus248 just the song...haven't heard full ep yet
|
 | JesperL the new beach fossils contains a song that answers the question "what if jimmy eat world wrote a dream pop song for integrity blues" and you absolutely need to hear it when it drops!!
|
 | Gyromania yo give this a try: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/87005/Phoxjaw-notverynicecream/
|
 | Nbehre11 Hey Sowing! Been a minute, haha, hope you?re doing well. I was just listening to the albums ?Coyote Stories? and ?Foxlore? by The Crane Wives, noticed they?re not on here and figured I?d rec - think you?d dig if you?ve not already listened to ?em!
|
| Shamus248 I was about to ask if you'd seen that haha. I am so ****ing hyped
|
| Atari Oh s***! Time to go jam Paper Walls yet again and get pumped ;)
|
 | bloc01 Hey Sowing, I've been away for a while and it looks like my main "bloc" account got banned while I was away. Can you unban it? I just made an alt account for now.
|
| FearThyEvil https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=426475 Idk where to report anymore! I noticed as someone in the soundoff said that multiple accounts all logged in on the same day to drop a 1 on this giving serious alt vibes with intent to mass 1 the album. All on september 11th, all similar ratings/accts.
|
| YoYoMancuso if you ever wished DT were angrier and had more shouting, go check the new Overgrow EP
|
 | Tunaboy45 That's a shame, hopefully it's back up in some capacity soon. Thanks for the heads up!
|
| Tunaboy45 I haven't been around for a while, what happened to the forum? Has it migrated or is it gone?
|
 | parksungjoon idk which one of yall usually did the duplicate account nuking but Goodolboy, Catsanddogs and Evidencedogs all have extremely similar ratings, im pretty sure its the devourment guy again
|
 | Rosasnarks What is your legal first and last name?
|
| Gyromania i noticed you don't have a rating for Kishi Bashi 151a!
|
| Slex Might just be my most anticipated album of the year now haha
|
| Slex A Westelaken promo you say???
|
| YoYoMancuso Raindrops Acoustic is the song I was worried would kill you lol
|
 | Panzerchrist Random trivia: SPACESHIPS played a show in my backyard last year! They opened for my metal band. Great live show.
|
| JoyfulPlatypus Hey Sowing - were you thinking of giving the new Classic Crime a shot? Not sure why but I get the feeling you'd enjoy it.
|
 | ArsMoriendi Do you think it?s possible someone is hacking these tags in actually?
|
| ArsMoriendi I hate to ask, but what's with the sudden influx of new genre tags no one asked for? World, Funeral Doom, Bossa Nova...sure, but now Viking Metal, Nu Jazz and Power Electronics??? Is MX just ****ing with the website or what? If it's that easy or him to add these, can't he just add disco, trap, slowcore etc like the userbase asked for? IDK why I'm asking you since it's not your fault, but I don't know who else to ask
|
| Slex Asked my buddy and he sent me this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FHpLou34pqpRP4QAm_Un9wbPstp6y6qBh8bK_4N-gCI/edit
|
| Slex Haha you humble me bud, I really appreciate that. Glad it hit for ya, it's definitely top 5 of the year for me So far and Seedlings is absolutely my current SOTY
|
| Slex I officially got too much goin on but please, if ya got the time, I'd love to see yr thoughts on the album!
|
| Slex Will do, lemme know what ya think of the album!
|
| Slex Got a lot going on but I am gonna try, it's shaping up to be a 5
|
| Slex My good buddy is the frontman for a band called SPACESHIPS, I think you'd love their new one; very Thrice n mwY-esque
|
 | nylonhair Hi! Usually I edit the "similar bands", and if the page Is incomplete I add the missing records!
|
| Shamus248 I have procured 3 tickets for Yellowcard on July 11th in Philly. $275 well spent haha
|
 | Borracho Thank you! Fancy throwing it a feature perhaps? Album had just been released and deserves more attention
|
| Borracho hey. I messed up uploading the art for this album i'm reviewing. could you fix it? thank youhttps://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=453109
|
| YoYoMancuso i think the song i'm working on right now is actually going to kill you
|
| Gyromania Pls respond to this urgently. I have something very important to discuss
|
 | Winesburgohio do u have an email i can send mail to? i return deeply penitent, cap in hand
|
 | Black Ink Thanks for the info. Some folks reach out to me curious.
|
 | plane At least make me emeritus wtf
|
 | KingBoots8 Hey man, you said you hadn?t heard any of the pre-2010 Tigers on Trains. There is a YouTube page with 2 of the earth EP?s out there: https://youtube.com/@Sergs9000Happy listening!
|
 | Rowan5215 I have the weirdest feeling their next album is gonna be another Cope lol. happy not to take it if that's the case but I hope I'm wrong
|
| Rowan5215 lol straight up missed that there was a song out. yeah I really like this and it feels like more than just some MMOG b-sides I might nab it
|
| Rowan5215 preorders are up now lmao, date is 3.10.23
|
| Rowan5215 appreciate the thought, cheers! hopefully it's wonderful and I'm just being cynical haha
|
| Rowan5215 I actually had to ease up on patreon for a while because of money stuff, so I don't know any more about it than you do. I've seen two dates floating around as well and hints that it's an EP but that?s about it. honestly I'm not dying to cover it because MMOG came and went for me but maybe there'll be a killer single to change my mind haha
|
| Shamus248 July 11. Philly. Yellowcard. Yours truly will be there
|
| CaliggyJack Bro I'm depressed. I originally had a Nothing but Thieves list up but I just learned of the allegations andd it I hate everything all my apples are rotten bro ?
|
 | SirJack Hey sowing, it's me CaliggyJack. Apologies for the alt acct but I have no other way of contacting staff with the forums gone. I would just like to say sorry as I had no idea my thread broke the rules. I would like to appeal my ban, or at least appeal for a lower punishment like a suspension. I promise not to make such a mistake in the future. If it cannot be done, I understand. I'm am once again sorry.
|
| Atari Hey bud, not sure if I?m just losing my mind (entirely possible) but it seems I only have access to the general discussion in Discord now.. Let me know if u have any ideas!
