What is it about Daniel Johnston that entices people so much? Just the fact he's an outsider or genuine appreciation of his music at face value?

>>70492850
I really liked the emotion in the album. It's really intense especially Careless Soul when he you can hear him tear up a little really got to me. I rarely ever give albums five stars so I was surprised too.

>>70492749
dude everyone has to like the cure and tom waits lmao

rain dogs is a 4 star though. the cure is so boring to me

>>70493143
Why? :(

do you all actually finish these albums that you don't enjoy? or do your rating systems reflect that most music you listen to is good?

>>70494951
I listen to whole albums mostly. There's only a few that are so bad I had to shut them off. Usually at worst I'll just start skipping songs.

Since I rated a single, I threw in an extra album.

>>70494951
Everything I begin I will finish all the way through, and usually in one sitting. Life is too short to waste on poor albums, but I obsess over cataloging and organization.

>>70492109
Spoon over TPaB?? Hard to believe. 2/5

>>70492799
We have wildly different rating-ideologies, but I give you serious props for your selection given.

Your love for Ween gives me chills and the rest ain't my thing, either ://

>>70493081
Get to rating, then! And I wouldn't 'boo' you, but I didn't care for The Unicorns.

>>70495998
Way cool, but I don't think Girl Talk is *that* offensive.

All five of them exceeded my expectations to be honest, it's been a good day

>>70492109
I thought The Undertones was at least a 3
>>70492628

>less than 4.5
I can't pretend I like you
>>70493187
I wish I could like Ween and Butthole Surfers as much as everyone else, in both cases, I don't much care for anything beyond their first album
>>70494228
In Utero is rated too high
>>70498319
Based on the sort of inflated ratings you hand out, Monster Movie is too low

>>70494951
Out of over 4000, there's about five albums I haven't finished (and of those I have finished, they were virtually all in one sitting, including box sets)...the ones I haven't finished are given the lowest rating but so are many albums I did finish

>>70498011
Haha, maybe 'wildly' was a bit much.
But--like I said, when I pick something to listen to, I set time aside for it or pick a pretty lax secondary activity, and sit through its entirety so I can give it a proper track average and final rating.

I average ~30 releases a week and most ain't special. However, even if the first song (or first couple) isn't appealing, that release has already used up some of my time. If I stop there, I've spent time I can't get back and haven't increased my 'ratings' count or widened my musical horizon/knowledge. Speaking of which, that's probably the main reason behind 'enduring' some releases; I just want to know and hear as much as possible.

Cheers~

Not 100% sure on the Painful rating

>>70498822
This for me as well, for the most part anyway. I feel like enduring the bad albums is worth it in the end not just because sometimes some of my favorite songs are on bad albums but because I feel like listening to those albums also gives me a musical reference point for the good stuff and broadens my horizons.

Like there's a lot of people who will say something's the best album in a genre without listening to that much of it. I think the good stuff becomes much better when you know what the other stuff sounds like.

>>70498011
>>70498822

If it matters, I'll add that I rate each track (I love RYM's whole setup) out of 5 stars and use those scores to find a 'track average' for the album. That average determines my final score for the release, since it lines up with my overall feelings 99% of the time.

>>70498886
there's a new chavez album? neat

>>70498924
It's only a short EP, makes me want a new album pretty badly

>>70498889
Yep yep yep, this fella' is A-Ok. good on ya!

>>70495998
Bit harsh on Girl Talk

I can never participate in these threads since I mostly use my RYM to maintain a wishlist

>>70497210
>>70499315
As of now, it's one of five worst albums I've heard. I wouldn't give out a 1/10 if I wasn't confident in it.

>Way cool
Thanks dude.

I'll get to some other people in a moment.

My current 'method' is to go through Ezhevika Fields, find some interesting albums with my preferred tags, and give them a shot. Very rarely do I finish an album without rating it. I only rate and keep stuff I like.

I usually rate stuff in batches of 7-8. Out of that I've found that I often save 3-4 for my permanent collection. The rest sit in storage.


If you haven't poked around Ezhevika Fields, you're missing out. I've found some really neat stuff there; things that are otherwise unobtainable (well that's the point of the site I suppose)

I keep absolutely everything on my computer, and put/keep whatever I like on the 64 gb card in my phone.

But wow, that looks+sounds interesting. I've never really messed with using tags for finding material, but I'll check that out for sure; thanks!

Yes, I listened to the hottest new meme album.

>>70492697
Wow, you really liked Cosmogramma.

>>70497210
I mean, I didn't care for the Black Moth either, but that's a low rating.

>>70498319
Ayy Monster Movie.

>>70502043
Yeah, there's a huge amount of stuff on Ezhevika. If the download link doesn't work, there is always a comment on the post that has a working one


Usually the tags are accurate; then again, while searching for electronic stuff I've come across some very nice but not electronicy albums.
