Accurate Pulp and Blur ratings

>>72678061
Damn boi, 400 5's.

>>72678138
Yeah, I know
This always ends up happening and I have to go through them all and knock some stars off where I've overrated some, but I've not done it in a while

blue desu

I have lots of 5's too, but it's because I only listen to full albums I know I'll like. If I get half way through an album and I'm not enjoying it I stop listening to it and don't rate it.

>>72678267
Similar to me. I always check out artists first and buy the albums if I like what I've heard, so logic stands that there's going to be a bias towards higher ratings. I can't get down with this """streaming""" malarky all the hip young kids are doing.

>>72678267
This. Why would you listen to the full album if you don't enjoy the first half? And why would you rate an album if you haven't listened to the whole thing?

>>72678345
>Why would you listen to the full album if you don't enjoy the first half?

I suppose you walk out on movies and leave books unfinished too, you fucking failure? Have you ever committed yourself to anything?

>>72678525
I walk out on movies if they suck

>>72678525
>Have you ever committed yourself to anything?
Not really. I'm a 24 year old high school dropout neet.

>>72678345
what if you like the second half more? can you really not commit to something for 1 hour?

Just finished that Mohel album.

>>72678587
My point was that I never rate an album that I haven't listened to in its entirety. I keep all albums that I haven't rated in my backlog and then I listen to them later. And no I never listen to an album that I don't like in just one sitting

>it's bad to leave a movie you don't like or stop reading a book you don't enjoy
Do you have autism? Those things are read or watched for the enjoyment of the viewer/reader, if they don't like it they should stop.

>>72678661
One day you might realize your mindset is that of a loser. Until then, you can keep lurking.

>man this book ain't fun for me might as well stop
>man college ain't fun for me might as well drop out
>man working ain't fun for me might as well go on disability
>man achieving my dreams ain't fun for me might as well be mediocre until I'm rotting in the ground
grow up

This just in: Roger Ebert adopts an innovative new style of critiquing movies where he stops it halfway through if he doesn't like it. Fellow critics and consumers alike agree that this is the best way for him to form opinions.

>walk into thread
>more "just stop the album whenever you want" apologists

You're the same people that delete tracks from albums to make them better aren't you

>>72678755
An album that's been 4-5/10 for the first half is most likely not gonna jump to 10/10 quality in the second half. Even if it somehow did, the album would only be like a 7/10 anyways

Hey dudes, hopefully this RYM thread doesn't have any cringe like last ti-

Yikes

>>72678773
Now I know you're just dumb. A 7 should mean it's well worth listening to, but I suppose you eat up enough of what Pitchfork and video game journalists regurgitate to think it's a bad score.

>>72678773

>>72678773
I know that you know that albums can grow on people and that one probably has for you in the past but you disregard that anyway huh? you're pretty disrespectful to artists.

>the sheer plebbery in this thread
Can we just ban rym threads now?

>>72678791
haha yeah
>>72678802
Yes, in the very rare case every song in the 2nd half of this so far boring album happened to magically be 10/10. Which has never happened
>>72678814
I don't care if people listen to an album in full and it turned out to be bad for them, I'm just not gonna waste anymore time for myself on an album I thought was mediocre for half its duration

I'm just explaining my reasoning, not trying to name call or insult, like the first guy did to me. I don't care about artists, I care about listening to music I can enjoy

>>72678882

he was right tho. "only like a 7/10" manages to be the biggest shitpost so far this year and u werent even trying to shitpost

>>72678734
Lmao spot on mate, very telling that this got no response

>>72678882
Sure, do it for your own enjoyment. As long as you acknowledge that you're depriving yourself of more enjoyment by not properly giving many albums a chance (so when you think about it it's pretty nonsensical from an enjoyment perspective) and that you basically don't have the right to an opinion on anything.

breaking news: scaruffi's new album rating system works on a scale where "only like a 7/10" means it isn't worth a listen

everyone agrees this is innovative

>listen to Death Grips album
>it's only like a 7/10
>delete their discography

>new Kanye album comes out
>it's only like a 4-5/10 in the first half
>suddenly, the second half comes on
>it's the most godly, mind blowing experience I've ever had listening to music
>this literally changes my life and I cry tears of joy for days
>overall it was only like a 7/10
>delete the album

>>72678587
Chances are you wont like it if you hated the first half. Life's short, why waste it on albums you hate.

>give the new Xiu Xiu a spin
>it's above average
>a positive experience with pleasant new directions in sound
>nothing groundbreaking but fans will definitely enjoy it
>in summary, only like a 7/10
>delete it halfway through

>>72679176
It's SO SHORT that you can't spare an extra 30 minutes listening to something while you take care of other business. Right. What have you done in the last 30 minutes?

>>72679176
>dude life is like so fleeting and fragile man I dont have time to consider works of art as they were intended because we could die at any second bro

>put on the first song to Kid A
>7/10 pretty shit desu
>ship it back to Thom Yorke with a lemon strapped to the front

>listen to a post-rock song
>apparently they're all slow buildup with amazing climaxes at the end
>however I'm already halfway through the song and it's only like a 7/10
>delete it and go back to hip hop

>>72679309

10 - good
9 - mediocre
8 - listenable
7 - horrendous
and you should just delete the album if the first song is anything lover than that

>mfw someone says an album is a 7 out of 10 near me

sure glad I didn't listen to that piece of shit

I rated that brokencyde album more than 0.5 because I admittedly enjoyed it a lot by cringing and laughing at it.

>>72680116
i-is that a new faust album?

>>72680176
Yes...we will hope it is better than jUSt...
