It's fun for me, I don't know why. I'm obsessed with rating albums.

I keep my physical catalog account as a personal account. Not adding random people, posting to forums, or writing actual reviews.

The a4m account is for actual reviews and forum presence. I also try to take the ratings a bit more seriously as opposed to my catalog account, which is mostly full of albums I already like. I just prefer it separated.

I think RYM is like my most visited webpage at the moment. It's just easier to channel my opinions through a 5 star system then talk about them.

Here's a link to my account

^ Nice seeing you around these parts again. Your RYM reviews (that I've seen) are pretty great, though we disagree on TPAB :)

Thanks man, gonna try and pop by a bit more from time to time.

yeah, massively it would seem.

Can see why people are turned off Kendrick now that he's went into full preacher mode. But for me, we haven't seen a trio of hip hop records of this consistent quality ever, I don't think it's too early to proclaim his the GOAT.

Out of interest what is it you dislike about TPAB? The rapping, production, content, length?

I would link you to my review of it, but it was half joking, so there's not much point (on RYM if you wanna look anyway). But my main issue is how boring some of the tracks are. I disliked/was completely meh about every track from Institutionalized to Hood Politics. I didn't really care for the message (interest wise, not the content), and the way it was delivered. Annoying voices etc.

Side note: Nice to know Bieber has gone a lang way to prove you (or us) right about him. making some pretty good music right now. Listening to the album now.

Saw the review, yeah. I guess I sorta see it more as an overall project rather than a sum of its parts. There's definitely some wtf moments in there, I mentioned that in my review too. I think things like that odd diatribe about Michael Jackson being innocent and the 'couldn't try less if he wanted to' Snoop Dogg verse had no business being in there.

That's what stopped it being as good as GKMC, but I know you're not too fond of that one either.

Yeah, it's interesting that even the casual fans have warmed up to him, they're a little like minor racists

"I'm not racist but...

"I hate Bieber but that new song..."

Think we're still a few years from a complete breakthrough but might well give his album a shot too, at least to pad out my Top 50 list if nothing else.

Bieber's new album is honestly shockingly good

Anyway it's been a long ass time since I updated this and there's probably a ton of albums that would get different ratings now, but it's still fun. I got those 1,000+ albums in there during like a two-day binge in the middle of summer last year lol

You should update your collection of listens.

Is there a way to basically clear everything? I'd like to start fresh, but I like my username.
