Re: Evaluating Music
Having finally received an exceptionally delayed shipment from England, my belated review of Robert Waytt's "Rock Bottom" has been posted. There should be no more such interruptions for several months, until I hit the next out of print album on the list, at least.

Re: Evaluating Music
Don't you find the gap between 2.5 and 3.0 to be rather larger than in any other case?

Re: Evaluating Music
I'm actually with you on this. I like Pawn Hearts okay, but those other two are much better.Epignosis wrote:I still don't like Pawn Hearts. Every few years I give it another spin to see if it has grown on me. Nope. Never.

We do, but you gave Pawn Hearts one star, so I have to tease you about it.MovingPictures07 wrote: I thought we had similar music taste.

Re: Evaluating Music
I look forward to disagreeing with your ratings.MovingPictures07 wrote:So while I was active at ProgArchives almost 10 years ago I did some music reviews/ratings, but wasn't that prolific. Since then I've largely discovered music without reviewing or giving any ratings; even though I've used RYM ratings and reviews as a primary source of discovering new music for the last 5+ years, for example, I've never rated a single piece of music myself.
Starting tomorrow morning I think I'm going to try giving a quick rating on RYM to everything I'm listening to by the time each album is complete -- just a gut-based evaluation. It's daunting, but exciting, and as necessary for my current schedule will demand very little time commitment (since I won't be writing reviews). We'll see how long I can keep this up.

You are very kind, SVS. I don't know why people always call you a bear.

Re: Evaluating Music
My next post in the series is delayed because Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom is apparently out of print and hard to get a copy of. I'm expecting to receive it on Monday.

Re: Evaluating Music
I don't particularly care what Pitchfork says, but my music listening tends to run in grooves of what I already know I like. I thought it would be good for me to listen to some records that are considered great but which fall far enough outside my comfort zone that I otherwise wouldn't have bothered. I selected the Pitchfork list because they tend to like the kinds of albums that I like, whereas Rolling Stone and others would probably be unbearable for me to listen to.

Re: Evaluating Music
I'm not sure what thread to put this in, but this is about rating music, so I guess it's as good a place as any. I've decided to listen to every album in the Pitchfork Top 100 Albums of the 1970s list and write a review of each one. I know a lot of them already, but I'm looking forward to discovering new stuff.
I posted the first entry tonight. The project can be found here.
