whats new here
I don't know why, but for some reason overhyped popular highly rated albums I'm really put off listening.
I respect Radiohead as a band but I'm not really "into" them and I don't have any intention of listening to the album.
It is probably a good album either way.
>>64696090
flavour of the month
>>64696138
>radiohead's first album in five years
>flavour of the month
>>64696119
this is how i felt about Blackstar.
Since I'd never listened to bowie before i went through most of his albums, didnt really like most of them.. listened to blackstar, didnt really like it. maybe a 3 or 2.5/5 for me at best.
>>64696138
oh thanks. i dont really know if its a "flavor of the month" because i mean, as >>64696094 astutely pointed out, it's radiohead and it's rym. more like flavor of the decade
will settle in the low 3.9s, but will overtake Bowie due to weighted ratings
>>64695983
There's still Vektor and Bowie
>>64696262
what do you mean by weighted ratings? do you mean it will have more ratings than bowie? which is likely
also it's up to 4.08 now. a couple hours ago it was at 3.8 lol
>>64696368
RYM has some algorithm that takes into account things other than the raw rating when charting music - number of ratings/who rated/how many 0.5 stars and 5 stars/etc. It does make sense as a system.
It's why OKC's top on the all time chart with a raw rating lower than the next 3 albums.
>>64696458
Ah makes sense. I think number of ratings is probably the biggest distinguishing factor, I mean OKC is by some distance the most rated on the site
>>64695983
>4.06
>AOTY
>>64696665
the current #1, blackstar, is 3.96
What format do I buy? 32-bit WAV?
>>64696702
Rym rankings are based on both the rating and the number of people voted, because generally the more poeople vote for an album, the rating goes down
>>64696706
because you're asking this question, you don't need the wav. buy the 320k mp3
>>64695983
RYM is the IMDb of music
>>64696904
You'd be pretty dumb to actually believe that
>>64697096
I agree with >>64696904
>>64697096
You'd be pretty dumb to think that music can be rated
>>64696904
it really isn't, that's metacritic
For all its problems I don't know of a better art rating site as good as RYM. Sonemic will probably ruin that with an influx of casuals, but oh well
>>64697119
You are pretty dumb then what can I say
i fucking hate hypebeasts
>>64696904
pretty much
>>64697145

>>64697279
Been there since '09. And was in a Radiohead cover band for a good 6 years. You fanboys are overhyping this shit to death.
>>64697317
because that doesn't make it logical to compare RYM to IMDb
if you tried to compare them because they both rate art, you could have just said that RYM is meaningless like any other art rating website
It's RateYourMusic, they've been sucking Radiohead's dick for years. OK Computer is somehow the best album of all time.
>>64697296
>also the most recent 4.10+ since Kid A, as it stands

Can't believe people fall for the hype so hard they thing it's good. Same is happening with James Blake and that one tranny

yeh I think I know why
it's cos a lot of people rated it highly
no need to thank me
>>64697485
I'm not a radiohead stan, that was comparison just retarded
You guys are something else. It's clearly one of the best works of the past 10 years
>>64697554
that compiratsion was just retarded*k,,
>>64695983
these flavours of the month are nauseating
>>64697538
Yep, and it's still not the best album of all time, as a collective RYM average suggests.
I have a feeling it's going to end with 3.98-4.03
>>64697155
>it really isn't, that's metacritic
How the fuck is a critic aggregation site the imdb of music
>>64697647
What's the best album of all time then, in your opinion?
>>64697717
there's a surprising amount of user reviews/ratings on there
>>64697696
This
It is outstanding, plus its from THE /mu/core band so people will feel validated in 5*ing it. But you can't really get higher than 4* without being "groundbreaking" which this album isn't
For the record i'm 4/5ing it for now but I bet I'll move it to 4.5/5 in a couple months
But can it beat Blackstar?
>>64697869
It's equally as good and from an equally as established act
Blackstar has the advantage of an indisputably amazing and daring concept, but Radiohead has the advantage of being stanned to hell by everyone on RYM
I think they'll weigh out about equal, close to a tie
>>64697869
blackstar has more historical importance, it's undoubtedly album of the year, but i think lp9 is more sonically interesting
>>64697869
for sure. it's .14 higher than it right now and it's radiohead, it'll get more ratings.
the real question is how high it'll get on album of the decade charts. Higher than TPAB? Higher than GKMC? Higher than MBDTF?
>>64697869
Could we have 2 AOTY's?
>>64697869
Heard it 3 times right now. I can safely say as a Bowie fan that AMSP is the AOTY. There's a pretty reasonable chance that Blackstar will still remain the top of the year because it released at the perfect time, and Bowie's death made it his epitaph, therefore carrying more weight. Although i believe this is the highest rating we've had in years and it appears to be increasing.
>>64697869
Only if Thom dies in two days
You know it's gonna happen.
Pablo: 3/5
Bends: 4/5
OK C: 5/5
Kid A: 5/5
Amn: 4/5
HTTT: 4/5
In Rain: 4.5/5
TKOL: 3.5/5
AMSP: 4/5
>>64697414
Well, the fact that they both rate art is just the first step in my comparison. They also try to present art as objective as possible. For example, Rotten Tomatoes has a feature for both critics and users. IMDb, on the other hand, has only the one for the users. This made me think that the only way a user could rate an album was more or less the way it was rated by other people. Indeed, I read many lackluster reviews that didn't feel really inspired to me but seemed just a way to reinforce the general opinion on the work in question. Also, both sites feature lists/charts whatever, which are meaningless since, like I said, art shouldn't really be rated.
has any band been so strong in three different decades? They had aotd with okc, kid a (or in rainbows for some) and now this
>>64698096
If Thom dies in the next 5 days, i guarantee you this will reach the Top 50 albums of all time and will be placed in the Pantheon of rock records.
>>64697946
It should go straight to number one unless it starts getting shit reviews. The last album to have 4+ was kid a and this looks like it could stay up there
>4.11
>>64698203
>art shouldn't really be rated.
oh fuck off you spaz. RYM functions as an inter-subjective aggregator - an albums high rating is of course not indicative of any sort of objective quality, rather that a lot of people liked it, and thus there's a high chance you will too. This is why it's useful.
>>64698149
pretty accurate if TKOL was 4.5
why does the rating distribution not work on RYM? its been like that for a week
>>64698406
IT WONT STOP GOING UP
>>64698416
well, ok, I'm happy that you and lots of people use it to find new music that you like. I just don't see the appeal.
>>64698470
wait nvm
it'll go down to 3.9. its been like 4 hours. most people who've listened to it already love radiohead
>>64698502
FUGGGGGG
>>64696904
rym has a very small user base compared to imdb. it would be hilarious seeing rym get more normies though
I'll check the rating in a month or two's time. The hype and emotional overreaction would have simmered by then.

FUCKING AVANT-TEENS
A Moon Shaped Pool has the now noticeably 30 year old band, Radiohead, starved for ideas and doing things by "The Numbers." In a return closer to 2007's In Rainbows than their last record The King of Limbs, Radiohead return to poppier formulas and more tangible grooves with a distinctly lacking energy. There's no song on AMSP with the crispness of "15 Step," yet simultaneously very few moments of true intimacy as they mastered last album in songs like "Codex" and "Give Up the Ghost." The songs are in a vague halfway-point where the band is not really sure where they want to go, other than away from the lackluster reception to their last record. It's unclear if the inclusion of one or more filler tracks ("Desert Island Disk" in particular) and Thom's rather frail and unmoved vocal delivery is representative of artistic choices or aging rockers near the end of their careers. Ultimately, I paid $20 for the 24 bit WAV download and do not regret buying the record: it's more enjoyable music from Radiohead that I did not hear yesterday and, for the first time in a while, is music I can actually talk about with my friends. But I am left with a feeling that after years of waiting, little to nothing of substance came.

we made it past 1000 and still 4.11 my dudes
>>64700451
>1,011 ratings
>4.11
Holy hell. Last 4.10 was LYSF, what was the last 4?
>>64700537
Considering it's 3.98 now, I think In Rainbows probably popped up above 4 at some point.
Madvilliany released in March 04 is 4.08 and Funeral released in September 04 is 4.05, those are the most recent 4+'s
Illinois, Donuts, and Ys might have been above 4 at some point also
>>64700631
Kendrick Lamar's Good Kid Mad City may also reach 4 soon, at 3.99 now.
But this being the first solid 4 in over a decade is huge
>>64695983
>2016
>Listening Radiohead unironically
>>64700537

TPAB
>>64700848
TPAB is at 3.98
>>64698149
TKOL 4.0
AMSP 4.5
It may be hype tho. Imma wait a couple of days
>>64700723
Oh yeah that reminds me TPAB was definitely above 4 when it came out, I think someone in the AMSP comment box said it was 4.25 with 1000 ratings, which is insane, that's GOAT level.
But it's a very divisive album. Got raised up by a lot of people who agree with the message, and brought down by a lot of people who disagree with it.
AMSP isn't nearly as divisive so I don't think it'll drop nearly as much.

Why are the genres so messed up? Art Rock? Electronic? Really?
radiohead isnt good
>albums catapulted in direct proportion to the amount of release day hype they have, because people just frontload with 5 star reviews after hearing the album once
>this is the gold standard of review websites
This really only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art.
>>64701281
Secondary genres are just for inspirations or somewhat related genres
the primary ones right now are chamber pop, art rock, which is pretty accurate imo
the dream is alive lads, 4.10 after 1200
>>64700425
Desert island Fisk is good desu. And who gives a fuck what they released as singles. Even better because it was stealth amazing, we didn't know what to expect and it built the hype
>>64696119
People are loving this album because its incredibly good.
Remember that Rym panned Tkol when it came out, and people were more excited for the release of that album after IR
>>64703480
And Avengers has an 8.5 on IMDB. What's your point?
>>64701518
Have you even listened to this album? I'm no retard, and I listened to it when people were shilling against it. It is so good.
>>64704983
>comparing imdb to rym
come on mate
>>64704983
Rym is a way more niche page than IMDB, not saying that people dont overrate albums in Rym, but usually the album ratings are quite representative of the tastes of music fans.
The rating will drop once Pitchfork gives it a lukewarm 8.6 BNM
>>64705415
The guardian already gave it a 8, so the pan is guaranteed
>4.11 with 1283 ratings
AOTD
not feeling it tbqh
>>64696763
It's also worth noting that RYM isn't a live feed. It needs to be updated, which takes from two weeks and one and a half month, depending on how lazy the admins are.
>>64701004
how does your font look so good? what browser/OS?
>>64705587

Thats becuase usually the fans are the first who rate an album highly, not because of what you saying lol.

>>64706444

It'll rest at around 3.66, cap this
>>64706010
since that happened both to be kind and the seer have been at literally the exact same score
people will give this album a fair shake most likely, it'll be controversial but it definitely won't get panned to oblivion, unless pitchfork do it.
