I like allmusic. Their reviews are nice and short and only tells you what you need to know about the music. The song samples on each page are convenient and the related albums section is a good source for recommendations. Like anything else the ratings are hit and miss and sometimes don't even match the review but only autists care about ratings.
It's over
serious question: are you retarded?
this, it's to be expected that when MGMT finally release a perfect album critics would fumble to ignore its greatness
That review is such shit.
>other bands do this stuff better like Ariel Pink so therefore 3/5. I won't bother to name other bands that do this ""better"", you should already know
>It's not really weird but also not perfectly radio-friendly therefore bad
I dunno, I find the average RYM review is basically as informative as an allmusic blurb. Which is to say not very. Song samples are convenient but they're pretty inconsistent. Might as well just use yt and get access to the whole thing.
RYM's ratings give you a better sense of the general consensus considering it's not just 1 random guy's rating and usually includes at least 100 people. Also the ads are obnoxious.
rips in pieces
Y'all just don't want to admit hat it sucked
Remember when saying that you liked MGMT on Sup Forums would get you laughed at and called a pleb? Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
It's mediocre at best same with all of MGMT's other work. It needs to stop being shilled.
I read allmusic and always check it for new releases. Its probably my favorite music site.
