I agree the website is a remarkable database of releases and genres. I've spent countless hours scrolling through user-made lists as well as genre lists/ year release lists. Thanks for the response! I genuinely complete agree with everything you've said! It's definitely an amazing website rich with 22 years of ratings, reviews and discussion but I have found myself listening to music for the purpose of giving that album a rating that can be seen by others rather than listening for my own enjoyment. That said I have been able to log what I have been listening to for the last 5 years which has allowed me to remember and revisit old releases. The ever-changing list of "Top releases from [year]" have unfortunately become a battleground for a loud minority of users to promote their favourite artist and to strike down the favourite artists of others. I've seen people give albums low ratings in order to try to boost the position of their favourite artists' new release in the list without having listened to the album they are giving a low rating which I think is a true shame and ruins the integrity of ratings on the website. I agree with the last two things you mention too, it's a good website but maybe the scope of its users is too small and do not represent the "real" enjoyment of music.

Does anyone else here use rateyourmusic.com? I've been using it for years and kind of like it but wanted to know other peoples' opinions on RYM.

Was genuinely sad to hear this. RIP

The effects of COVID and general mismanagement in the council will have contributed too. If I remember correctly Nottingham was having financial issues between 2020-2022.

I didn't notice that Blank Banshee put an album out three weeks ago they definitely put it out quietly. I'm not the biggest fan but could be worth checking out if you haven't already. https://blankbanshee.bandcamp.com/album/4d EDIT: George Clanton (AKA: ESPRIT / Mirror Kisses) also put an album out in July which is not explicitly vaporwave but keeps that George Clanton feel that was in his old vaporwave releases. https://georgeclanton.bandcamp.com/album/ooh-rap-i-ya

Seeing him post on Instagram today was a pleasant surprise. Never thought he would ever come through with an album so this is very exciting!

Been busy and not gotten round to listening to the album yet. Shame it's only 8 tracks long but still looking forward to giving it a proper listen tomorrow.

Same here

Good track that! Different from their usual style but still cool.

Still so happy that the Xbox Series X is backwards compatible with old discs. Found a copy of Halo 3 on Xbox 360 in my wardrobe and completed it which made me go out and buy disc copies of GTA 4, Liberty City Stories and Red Dead Redemption GOTY Edition (I really wanted to play Undead Nightmare). I've also preordered Payday 3 and am genuinely so excited to play since I really got into Payday 2 back in 2017. My friends weren't too into the game back then but seem excited to play Payday 3 with me!

I thought so anyone who knows a thing or two about OPN has seen them both but thought I'd mention them in case. Off topic but it's a shame they aren't making their next film together.

Check out the films Good Time (2017) and Uncut Gems (2019) if you haven't already - he did an exceptional job with the soundtracks for both.

They call me Oneohtrix Point the way I Never skip his releases.

The app is so broken it's not even funny.

I hope our stadium renovations are finished in time for West Ham at home. We had to postpone the Burnley game

WRONG THREAD

Also really liking the new tracks!

I feel sorry for the user who signed up during all of this they seemed really confused

Posted about this on the previous page a while ago but in case someone hasn't seen the post, this guy's YouTube channel is amazing - He's an Austrian guy who is opening a Lego museum and has been working on huge lego builds and he regularly posts updates. https://www.youtube.com/@Brick_Crafts (English language channel) https://www.youtube.com/@BobBrickman (German language channel)
