Daily reminder you all worship a washed up loser.

actually shocked Painting With is that low.
It's a damn good album in my opinion. Not their highest of highs but it more than deserves to exist. Probably still my AOTYSF even..or dvsn or, depending on how this Deakin album stays with me, maybe that. But damn, its not a fucking 60%, that's ridiculous.

school has made people think that 60 is a bad score
it's not, 60 points out of 100 is still "good"
it's like Painting With. it's "good", but not as "good" as other albums they've put out
Those are literally the two best Animal Collective albums (CHz wins though)

It's not bad, but it's not very good
>>63861218
animal collective is more than one person. though there are only 2.5 people in the group who matter
It's even dumber that Slasher Flicks has a lower rating than either. Slasher House was an infinitely better version of CHz and PBVSGR was an infinitely better version of Painting With.

3.00 average on RYM isn't really "good" though
I'd say atleast 3.20 can be considered good
>>63861507
yeah, i guess you're right to an extent. But, if you know what i mean, RYM's 3.00 seems to be like "averagegood," like something a really good local natives album would get..In fact I just looked it up and local natives have two albums at 3.15 and 3.35. If that's their criteria, then painting with getting a 3.00 is ridiculous. and while i agree painting with is definitely not a 4 or any kind of masterpiece, its still, in terms of sound and songwriting, a pretty thrilling, inventive and energetic album. I personally would give it around a 3.5. I'm also a bit of an anco stan so I'd give their best albums 4's and above, so take that with a grain of salt...but regardless, i think that album is doing more in the music world than 3.00.

wow 0.2 points

Slasher Flicks is underrated (definitely a 9/10) but it isn't better than CHz.
can someone explain what these numbers mean? how are they calculated?
>>63861560
holy shit kill yourself if you actually believe that
It boggles my mind that anyone thinks CHz is better than PW
>>63861683
it is quite a bit desu
>>63861683
thats actually a pretty large margin for rym
you sorta have to think of the nature/context of a site and be familiar of its grading curves to see whether it "approves"of something or not. like with p4k, we all know that on an objective grading scale, a 6.5 isn't a bad score - just average. but for pitchfork that's a "pan" and the review will most likely read as largely negative. so yeah, a 3.00 is an average score, but for rym that's a really negative rating.

Centipede is like a 7/10 Painting is like a 5/10 imo both have awful cluttered production but Centipede at least has good songwriting.
i like the rymers on /mu/ because they have built autistic mental models of quality descriptors and number ranges on top of a system that is totally arbitrary.
