>Blackstar's RYM rating steadily increasing ever since

>>61669850
Why do you care?
Just come back after a few years and the rating will be back to normal.

To be fair, the knowledge that Blackstar was the work of a dying man changes a lot of people's interpretation of the album. If they had quarter star ratings I'd probably move mine from 4 to 4.25.

>>61669850
>Caring this much about a rating site

why is this shit allowed?

>>61670227
hello reddit

Honestly it deserves it, the fact that he literally told us he was going to die in his album and nobody realized is a work of genius

>>61669897
Oh my how generous.

>thinking Blackstar is his best album

lol okay

everything is more meaningful in memory than present experience. you're questioning human psychology as a whole.

>>61670668
it isn't, but it's one of his best now

>>61670668
Reading comprehension. That anon said it was a work of genius not his best.

But it definetly is top 5 Bowie at least.

>>61669897
Like you lose money if you give it a higher rating. Those .25 would cost you at least $1000...

:O))))


total war mane

>>61670743
>definitely is top 5 Bowie at least.

consider ending yourself

>>61669897
this. looking at the lyrics in the context of his death makes the album so heartbreaking. the lazarus video made me cry earlier. what a genius

>>61670777
it's easily top 5 you dumb pleb

>Have friends on rym that rated Blackstar higher after his death

>>61670777
people said this before his death, mang

Rating/changing ratings of artists should be suspended around events like this, I'd say for at least 2 weeks. They need to treat it like they treated Pitbull's DALE issue - ban anyone trying to rate it 5/5 or something else high when they either 1. didn't have it rated before or 2. had it rated low

>>61670790
>calls me a dumb pleb
>thinks blackstar top 5

lmao

Between his dying and finding out about his secret 18 month battle with cancer, I can kinda understand it. Listening to blackstar today versus a week ago, I feel differently about it and my understanding of the album has evolved. I definitely understand the album more, and I like the album even more now.

It's mostly just silly artificial inflation cause he died but if it bothers you just ignore it or wait a while and it will even out.

>>61670919
chill. the guy I was responding to called a guy a pleb for not saying black star was top 5 bowie and I was presenting a different opinion

>>61670890
>man who sold the world

we're getting closer

How does other people inflating the ratings of an album effect your rating/perception of it? You can still have your own opinion and rate it as high or low as you please.

every music album produced ever was the work of a dying man

Bowie's death was half of the album. Two sides of the same coin. Would bump rating.

>>61670846
Yeah it's pretty understandable that the album could get over-hyped over something like this.
>artist releases album
>unexpectedly passes away couple days later
>tragedy gets discussed all over the media
>all while coincidentally shilling the new album, when otherwise no one would've heard about it
I bet nobody here would have heard about Eagles of Death Metal if it weren't for the shooting, just watch their next meme-single dedicated to paris reach #1.

>>61671905
yes because children are immortal

>>61671766
damn...

>>61671346
Well, the good thing about music is that, if you don't like it or for any reason really, you can just stop listening to it. Probably better to form your own opinion of something anyway

It's not just because it was his last album before dying, it's the fact that he made the album knowing he was going to die soon, making it his way of saying goodbye to the world.

It's the same reason pic related and the song 'Ceremony' have the reputation they have.

Nah, I don't think Ian was ready at that point.
Pic related (the parts with the Birmingham performance) was his last act. Digital was his last song, two weeks before he ended it.
