I do this all the time. Not to make myself feel better but to see what they enjoy.

I've found a ton of cool things this way.

Ew.

I love how his rating scale is inverted (lots of 1/10 and 10/10, very little in the middle) and he immediately points out using TheTopTens in the past. No wonder he's such a ditz.

I do this too

>>70943588
I've seen this way too often. When a review starts with "Let me give you some background info" I cringe so hard I have to turn off my computer and hyperventilate in a corner

>>70943588
oh god i just hate this so much, like, who fucking cares about that? i only want to see your opinion on the album and not a fucking story about yourself.

>>70943509
wtf
pls post examples

>caring about what RYM thinks.

Cmon guys we're better than this.

>favorite obscure album has only one rating
>it's 0.5
>guy who rated it is a generic avant-teen whose ratings are 3/4 consisting of 0.5 stars and yet he has zero reviews
It's about time someone starts banning these fuckers. Shame RYM is too liberal to do so.

Congratulations on reading a completely meaning in what I posted.

If your liking of music depends on the fancily arranged dribble of a review by jimmy fuckall 1000 miles away, then you are posturing and not actually enjoying said music.

>I first found this record in 2004 in a record store about half a mile from my house. It was a dark, damp and strangely mysterious place. Perfect for discovering records like this. The guy behind the counter, whom I could only assume was also the owner judging on it's small scale and lack of popularity, would sit there with an expression on his face I could only describe as...

>>70945721
I'm not the guy you replied to, but I made this thread

I genuinely enjoy listening to the music whether or not somebody put a good review or not on rym. I and most people in this thread are admitting to being affected by other peoples opinions. We know we shouldn't but we can't help but feel it

Why?

>>70945880
Because rym isn't a non-english website

>have to fuck with your own ratings because every number of x/5 must be divisible by 10 or 5


>>70945389
isn't there a guy who listens to only abba and soulless milquetoast metal and calls literally everything hipster trash

>>70945914
Really? Because a lot of the reviews on the site are not in English

He's gonna sell this review as a book
