>>65842848

>>65842819
great ratings, though I'd give On Land and A Little Man 8's each.

Sing To God is the true GOAT.

>>65842874

Still going through their discography, want to take my time to let each release sink so I can hear their progression but here's where I am so far:

Sonic Youth
>Sonic Youth EP: 6/10
>Kill Yr Idols: 7/10
>Confusion Is Sex: 6/10
>Bad Moon Rising: 9/10
>EVOL: 7/10
>Sister: 8/10
>Daydream Nation: 10/10
>Goo: 7/10
>Dirty: 5/10
>Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star: 7/10

Planning on listening to Washing Machine soon.

If we're talking about favorite active band,

Cloud Nothings:
>Turning On: 6/10
>Cloud Nothings: 5/10
>Attack on Memory: 10/10 (fuck you, I love it)
>Here and Nowhere Else: 7/10
>No Life for Me (w/ Wavves): 5/10

Really pumped for whatever they do next, hopefully they get a little bit deeper into the noise rock avenues they tease on the last two full lengths.

>>65841244
>The Powers to Be (the second half)
Why not just say Jenny Death? On that note I really can't get into JD, I've tried but it's just not all that appealing to me. On the other hand I like NOTM a lot more than everyone else seems to for some reason.

>>65842935
Not that I agree 100% with the guy you're arguing with, in fact I agree with your earlier point that people don't often recognize that a 7/10 and even a 6/10 are actually good scores, but people who are extremely hesitant to give something 10/10 are usually just as bad as people who are extremely willing to give something 10/10. Personally, I would think that if Swans is your favorite band, with the amount of acclaim they get that your scores would be a little higher but you could just not really love too much music and I can't get into your head so it's not a big deal.

but what's the point of giving out 10/10 to every album I like? Isn't a 10 supposed to be the best of all-time? That's why Swans is my fave band because I don't give out 10's like they're candy. Because it actually means something to me. I have like maybe a dozen albums rated 10/10.

>but what's the point of giving out 10/10 to every album I like?
Well obviously you shouldn't give a 10 to everything you like, that's why 6, 7, 8, 9, and whatever decimal you feel like using are for.
>Isn't a 10 supposed to be the best of all-time?
I don't think so. It's sort of like how Scaruffi will never give anything a 10/10 because he's reserving it for the best album of all time which he knows he'll never be able to definitively find. In essence, his 9.5/10 becomes his 10/10 because 10/10 will never exist. And then there's publications like p4k which give out high scores too often to the point where they don't really mean anything. So I guess what I'm saying is that on the one side, if you give out "too many", however many that is, you're probably inflating your scores and in some instances what you call a 10/10, you probably feel is a 8/10 or 9/10. On the other hand, if you don't give out "enough", however many that is, you're probably deflating your ratings and what you call a 9/10, you probably feel is a 10/10.
>That's why Swans is my fave band because I don't give out 10's like they're candy.
Again, while giving them out like candy is bad, holding them back too much is bad too.
>I have like maybe a dozen albums rated 10/10.
And that's fine, if that's all the albums you think you really love, but honestly I bet there's at least one band you know with a smaller discography than Swans that has a higher average rating and has brought you more personal meaning.

it's not b8, the rating are that high cause it's my favorite band you dip, there is no other artist I rate that high. I don't get why you would give you favorite artist a bunch of 7s and 6s, if it's your favorite artist it means you love their music, im starting to think the only reason you made this thread was to show off your low ratings and give others shit for rating their favorite artists highly.

>>65845571
like i mentioned earlier, inflated ratings. I clearly like radiohead. i clearly like Swans. what's wrong with Pablo Honey? There's fantastic pop songs on that album. Blow Out, Creep, Anyone Can Play Guitar, Stop Whispering, to name a few. It definitely deserves a 6 in my book. A Moon Shaped Pool was boring but I still liked it. Radiohead's peak was during OKC to Amnesiac days. Hail to the Thief tried to appease everyone. In Rainbows was an over-glorified OKC but better and less filler than HTTT. TKOL had one good song and the rest is mediocre.

>>65845595

you might be insane, but what did you think of spratleys japs pony?

>>65843101
dang I've been revisiting SY critically and chronologically this year. long time fan but I want to go through the whole discography, Im at about the same point you are, I honestly think EVOL is their strongest "early" record and Dirty is their strongest "arrival" record, daydream nation somewhat overrated, but great record I can not deny

this is an amazing thread btw, lets keep doing this after it archives

>>65845618
>like i mentioned earlier, inflated ratings
yeah i know they are inflated, but I honestly love every single one of their album except for PH, Im not gonna pretend I dont
>what's wrong with Pablo Honey?
I mean, i only like two songs on there (Creep and Blow Out) and I really dislike some of them, can't give it more than a 5 or maybe a 6 tbqh
>A Moon Shaped Pool was boring but I still liked it
IDK I really loved it, AOTY for me
>Radiohead's peak was during OKC to Amnesiac days
agreed with you there
>Hail to the Thief tried to appease everyone. In Rainbows was an over-glorified OKC but better and less filler than HTTT. TKOL had one good song and the rest is mediocre.
HTTT has some fantastic songs but also a couple of filler tracks, ill give you that
In Rainbows has my favorite song of all time (Weird Fishes) and its a really great album IMO, their third best
TKOL has two duds for me (Mr Magpie and Feral) but the rest is great. The second side is amazing. What's the one good track?

>>65842848

>>65841244
>rating anything by death grips higher than iceage,arctic monkeys or the strokes
>rating the 1975
summerplebs sure are here

>>65845427
I actually try not to rate based on a bell curve or anything like that because I always end up having to bump/revise stuff. I just rate on enjoyment and it ends up that my average is a little less than 6/10 which makes sense because I usually only listen to a full length if it's from an artist I've enjoyed in the past or feel like I'll enjoy in some way. Some people definitely get way too autistic about this stuff though.
>>65845714
EVOL seems to be their most popular "underrated" album, and honestly I haven't listened to it in full for a couple of months but the only songs I consistently go back to are Shadow of a Doubt and Expressway to Yr. Skull which are two of their best songs overall imo. I can't stand most of Dirty though, Kim's vocals just get unbearable. I mean she had never been a "good" singer but in like 'Cross the Breeze which had her kind of just yelling she sounded more passionate than anything, and in Shaking Hell she actually sounds even a little frightening. She does does this weird groaning thing on Dirty that I really hate. But yeah I'm still really stoked to keep going, every album of theirs so far has at least a couple of really rewarding songs.

>>65845768
>inflated ratings
but that's the thing tho. I like radiohead like you do. and from what you have said i basically have the same thoughts on radiohead. They're up there in my top 100 bands. but the more I listen, the better bands I find that are better than Radiohead. That's why they keep getting knocked down and down because my standards change. I use to rate radioheads' discography similar to yours, almost all 9's and 10's. To me, a 6 still means I like it. A 7 is great and 8 is a master piece. And 9 is personal favorite. And 10 is greatest of all-time. So your 10's are my 8's. That's what I rate that way to reflect my changing taste that I can grow and appreciate other music. idk if that makes sense.

>Moon Shaped Pool
i've listened to it fully 3 or 4 times now and there's a stretch that phases me out of the album.

>TKOL
Lotus Flower tbqh. Also Give Up the Ghost and Separator are good. But the rest is meh.

>Hail to the Thief
agreed, There There, Where I End and You Begin, 2+2 and Go to Sleep are all excellent songs and Wolf at the Door as well. Honestly, if it was just those songs into an ep it would have made for a great experience.

>Pablo Honey
Honestly, Blow Out is one of Radiohead's first song and I would have liked to hear more of a noise rock the bends. I think they were struggling too much with the britpop and jangle pop found on the bends. They should have flirted more with post-punk and noise rock. Cause that's exactly what blow out is (not very post-punk at all but noise rock comes from post-punk)

I guess we got My Iron Lung which was pretty cool.

Hand Cannot Erase is a solid 9 for me, and FOABP is probably a 9.5 or 10

Everything else is great though. The Sky Moves Sideways and Signify could maybe be a bit higher

>>65846017
Well, there is no other artist I enjoy as much as Radiohead, but I don't really give out 10s like they're nothing, I've only given 5/5 to 20 albums on RYM. I haven't heard that much music though. i'd say only between 200-250 albums. A Moon Shaped Pool was instant for me, Decks Dark and Present Tense are top 10 Radiohead songs IMO, Daydreaming, Ful Stop, Identikit, and The Numbers are all excellent as well. Although I do think the original version of True Love Waits is way better though. Lotus Flower is pretty good, although my favorite is Codex, when I first heard TKOL I listened to it everyday for like a month straight, one of Radiohead's albums I've gotten into the fastest. Yeah, Blow Out is pretty great, but the rest of the album doesn't even come slightly close to that (Creep is fantastic pop song though)

Thom's voice was always bad but I think it reached maximum horribleness on Kid A. Also not a fan of "electronica" music and Kid A was heavily experimenting with it. Also, all the songs on the album just felt to me like mediocre album openers, National Anthem was great though. Was expecting to not enjoy Amnesiac at all because "muh Kid A B-Sides" but I surprisingly enjoyed it
