I do this all the time. Not to make myself feel better but to see what they enjoy.
I've found a ton of cool things this way.

Fuck that guy.
Happens all the time.
>guy gives mediocre score to album i like
>retarded short review
>same guy gave 5/5 to a bunch of Beatles albums
:^)
>someone gave 1/5 to my fav albums
>his 5s consist of just metal
for real
THIS
It always ends up giving 5/5's to the same few early beatles albums
Ew.
I love how his rating scale is inverted (lots of 1/10 and 10/10, very little in the middle) and he immediately points out using TheTopTens in the past. No wonder he's such a ditz.
this is the shittiest rym review I've ever read
>The album artist leaves a review for the album
>review where someone tells their life story and how it relates to the album instead of just talking about the album
I do this too
I've seen this way too often. When a review starts with "Let me give you some background info" I cringe so hard I have to turn off my computer and hyperventilate in a corner
oh god i just hate this so much, like, who fucking cares about that? i only want to see your opinion on the album and not a fucking story about yourself.
wtf
pls post examples
>caring about what RYM thinks.
Cmon guys we're better than this.
>favorite obscure album has only one rating
>it's 0.5
>guy who rated it is a generic avant-teen whose ratings are 3/4 consisting of 0.5 stars and yet he has zero reviews
It's about time someone starts banning these fuckers. Shame RYM is too liberal to do so.
>see .5 star review on a good album
>look at their other ratings
>5000 ratings and over half are below 2.5 stars
>their only 5s are either incredibly tryhard or incredibly generic
The first 3 albums for Green have reviews by the leader of the band.

It provides a new perspective on the music, faggot

Congratulations on reading a completely meaning in what I posted.
If your liking of music depends on the fancily arranged dribble of a review by jimmy fuckall 1000 miles away, then you are posturing and not actually enjoying said music.
>I first found this record in 2004 in a record store about half a mile from my house. It was a dark, damp and strangely mysterious place. Perfect for discovering records like this. The guy behind the counter, whom I could only assume was also the owner judging on it's small scale and lack of popularity, would sit there with an expression on his face I could only describe as...
I'm not the guy you replied to, but I made this thread
I genuinely enjoy listening to the music whether or not somebody put a good review or not on rym. I and most people in this thread are admitting to being affected by other peoples opinions. We know we shouldn't but we can't help but feel it
>user gives less than 3.5 on favorite album
>check his 5s ratings
>[insert generic Sup Forumscore]
into the trash it goes
lmao
Nice
>want to get into an artist that's hugely popular in a non-English part of the world
>has dozens of albums on the site
>not one review
>a single Radiohead album has over 2000 reviews
Why?
Because rym isn't a non-english website
>have to fuck with your own ratings because every number of x/5 must be divisible by 10 or 5
isn't there a guy who listens to only abba and soulless milquetoast metal and calls literally everything hipster trash
Really? Because a lot of the reviews on the site are not in English
He's gonna sell this review as a book
