it's cause dudes are npcs and dont actually have any taste or opinions of their own so they latch onto the most popular person because they feel like it's the right thing to do and validates them

I would say those are better than clb which probably sold more?

I'm not basing how good something is on sales, I'll take large amounts of reviews any day

I think we're talking about different things i'm just talking about RYM as a metric catering to a certain type of listener

But yeah sales shouldn't be in consideration when talking about quality most, if not all times

I was never not talking about sales being a bad metric, only using rym and metacritic as a better example

Idk why you thought otherwise

It’s a form of coping mechanism for fans to fall back on when the music didn’t turn out good

I'm specifically talking about RYM as a metric

It's like using TheNeedleDrop as a metric for whats good

Ok that makes no sense because my initial comment very much specifies a collection of reviews, so that has nothing to do with 1 reviewer alone

And again idk how this is so hard to pick up on still but again I'm comparing only to sales being a terrible metric

RYM is not a great metric unless you're a reddit poster maybe

So sales is better?

Why are you so adamant in refusing to understand what I am saying

I'll listen to a rym recommendation over any sales metric any day

Most people don't think of Jungle when Drake is brought up.

I'm not saying it's a viable way to compare music since like I said, art is subjective. I'm just saying that when it comes to competition in music, the objective facts are gonna be a***yzed similar to sports. Only objective facts in music is how much your music sells

I was watching a video about Mj/Jermaine Jackson feud and they were clowning Jermaine jackson for only going gold or something and this was in 1979 🤷🏿‍♂️

Radiohead has like 5 albums in the Top 25 of all time on RYM

anyone paying attention to the top ranked albums chart on RYM is using the site wrong

the more you drill down into specific pockets the obvious bias/stereotypical taste doesnt matter
