AMG 3.5 and 4 star ratings

Message Bookmarked

Remember how AMG used to hardly ever display 3.5 star ratings? Now it seems they've replaced the 4-star ratings with 3.5 stars, and it's hard to find many 4-star albums anymore.

This may seem less than fascinating, but it did just result in a whole bunch of records being downgraded for no apparent reason.

They didn't even have a GRAPHIC for 3.5-star ratings before! Time to investigate...

It appears that they don't have 1-star albums anymore; they're all 1.5. They must have bumped everything below 4 stars up .5.

They bumped Alien Lanes up from a *** to a ****. I can't find a single album that was **** prior to the change that has kept the same rating

How do you people remember how many stars a particular album had?

Actually, I see 2- and 3-star albums that have maintained their ratings. wtf mate?

hmmm, Alien Lanes has changed back to 3...

We like to spend our time worrying about unimportant shit like this instead of how our idiot president and his sideshow of destruction will lead to a premature armageddon.

premature armageddon

definitely over-rated

yeah, armageddon is overrated.

You need either

a) a hobby
b) a girlfriend / boyfriend
c) to get over the fact that Pitchfork is not the axis upon which the world turns

Why does AMG have no 3.5 stars?

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Wednesday, 16 June 2004 21:45 (twenty-two years ago)

their ratings are confusing.

Also, AMG finally realised that R&B is a genre! wacky!

Deadringer got a downgrade. :(

Looks like it's back to the way it used to be, because all those albums are now 4 stars. See, ILM really can make a difference!

why dont they have a random star system, then maybe all those String Cheese Incident albums could have 1 and 2 star ratings

― mentalist (mentalist), Thursday, 17 June 2004 23:35 (twenty-two years ago)

on another note, they rated albums by the Doors 4 stars from 3 stars when the wierd thing was happening.

Now all those specific ones are rated 3.5

AMG, you are so wacky!
