I much prefer websites that I feel overrate albums (pitchfork) too much than ones that underrate (allmusic) too much.

why? it is stupid to rate on a scale of 10 when 90% of the stuff gets above a 6. this is what they do for children in grade school so they all feel like they do good. how about having a rating system that straight up gives people a 1/5 or 2/5 if the ablum actually sucked. its a much better normal distrubtion with the most ratings in the middle and equal on either sides. not to mention they are a 100 times better and more informative website database.

That's the point, allmusic isn't biased, they rate it for what it is..

And their 4.5 rating to Paris Hilton, 4 star ratings to Hillary Duff, Jonas Brothers, Hannah Montana, etc. The only artists I'd say Allmusic underrates (off the top of my head) would be Comus and American Football.

Wow... I am honestly shocked. I used to have some respect for their ratings. Well, I guess it's back to solely using RYM ratings as reference then.
