Autechre certainly aren't launching any new styles, and there's no innovative music to be heard here sure. no innovation whatsoever... O_o |

confield and chiastic slide got 3/5 !! the worst notes of all Ae full albums listed there !! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
they don't even list tri repetae in the discography only tri repetae++ which is more of a compilation |
||||||||

it's funny in a way how predictable some of these sites are..and even funnier how some of them are clueless when it comes to music they can't directly connect to anything they're familiar with. |

they still haven't reviewed the latest Ae album, "QUARSTICE". idiots |

i think allmusic is like imdb but without the democracy |
||||||||
|

there is a noticeable presence of eliteism here. ever stop to think their music might not be as good as you think it is? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
what does good in terms of music mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good means it tickles your balls |
||||||||

aahahhahahahhah 'nocturnal' 'sophisticated' |

allmusic does a pretty good job in voicing a opinion that's similar to the opinion of the average critic |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
if it tickles mine that doesn't necessarily mean it will tickle iiiiiiii's balls as well, or does it? |

you guys are so protective, it's funny... amg is pretty fucking decent for encompassing all that music, it's not super accurate but works really well as a site for getting started with new music. they are pretty diverse in all, i think. |

pretty diverse in all - true works really well as a site for getting started with new music - true not super accurate - true and they could try match e.g. discogs in that area |

Check their Limp Bizkit section and you'll see they're not all bad. . . but then. . . check their Right Said Fred section and shake your head with wonder. |

update: they corrected album title and someone wrote a review it got 4/5 ! it's goddamn better than Confield ! lol |
||||||||

it's funny they don't like confield while i think it's the most popular here, of their later experimental stuff anyway |

"The only aspect that prevents Quaristice from seeming open-ended, as a bunch of tracks splayed arbitrarily across a disc, is that it begins and ends with ambient (as in entirely beat-less) pieces; an arc might gradually become apparent, but that would only be the result of increased familiarity with the sequence of tracks." i just love that these are professionals writing, they have a staff of like 700 and are always hiring. they were searching for people that could review more local acts |

I like to get upset when a mainstream site fails to cater to my niche tastes. |

the review seems about spot on to me. |

Seems like quite a nice review to me, bar one or two sentences and mistakes here and there. Don't see what the problem is. |

It's kind of silly to get offended by a site that rates an album differently from you. The fact is though that allmusic.com is an excellent music database, where you can find info on basically anything you want, music related. |

allmusic is my start page |

I agree with Funkmaster. Allmusic is a great resource and I use it a lot. Reviews are simply subjective opinions and I don't care if some guy on allmusic hates my favorite album. The amount of information on allmusic is quite staggering, actually. I often use it to find similar sounding bands/artists and to look up info on genres and bands. The site has directed me to a lot of great music I otherwise wouldn't have discovered. |

it's a good information site, very useful... But maybe it should decide whether it wants to offer objective information, subjective rating or vote-based rating. A system that gathers all data and presents time lines and song information and so on shouldn't intrude on the data by putting some random star-rating on it... At least IMDB is popular vote based. Discogs, on the other hand, don't make a big deal out of voting. Allmusic seems to go the other way by insisting on offering authorial, editorial opinions side-by-side with database survey. In the end it's a matter of taste, I guess. I like it as a resource, but as a reviewer it's whimsical. This Quaristice review is OK, as it happens, but that's not the point. Facts and opinions don't mix. It's like that annoying cashier who insists on commenting on your purchases at the store: "oh, nice cucumber, mister! but do you really need this much sausage? what kind of a sausage fest are you having tonight?" |
