You've been added to my friend list.

And I think there is a "recommend" button on the profile pages, but I've never used it.

I gave up on RYM a few months back and it was probably one of the most musically liberating things I've ever done. I realised that rating and cataloging every single thing I listen to was completely pointless.

I think that they should change their rating system so that you can only rate an album a year after its official release. This will give time for people to form a proper opinion of a release instead of rating it after only one play. There also seems to be a serious genre bias in the charts. There's no way that there could be so many atmospheric black metal, death metal or progressive rock/metal albums rated so highly compared to other genres of music. Don't get me wrong I love a lot of that stuff, but when you see very average atmospheric black metal albums being rated over the best dream pop albums of the year I really do raise question as to how people rate albums.

Considering I only started listening to full albums 5 years ago, I sort of want to keep track of everything I've listened to. Maybe people can get an idea as to my tastes. And I have rated mine, but I guess you don't need to. I don't see how it can be that bad. Luckily for me, I have only listened to 173 albums in my lifetime, so it didn't take that long to compile. I'm sure it can't be that hard to quickly go onto RYM and add an album you have just listened to. It's also good as a place to discover new music, and receive recommendations. I can't really see any downsides to it. Each to their own I guess.

It's not really to do with the effort of rating albums, I have 1,500 albums/EPs/singles rated. But it just gets boring after a while and feels like a pointless exercise. It's more to do with the motivation of doing it. The only thing I do use RYM for these days is if I wanted to know more about a particular genre of music, so I'd look at the charts for that particular genre.

odd, I find that the number of metal albums on their rankings refreshing. I mean I don't think theres an outrageous amount of those genres compared to the usual suspects. Especially when I look at publications year end lists, it always annoys me at the lack of any metal (last year it was Sunbather or nothing, this year it's been what Heathen on a few, The Satanist maybe.. not much there). So RYM having some metal compared to other sites is nice. That being said, I don't take their ratings very seriously anyway.

its impossible to be completely equal for all genres anyways f.ex RYM is not a good resource for finding ambient or drone albums amongst their lists.

in terms of using it, I tried to catalogue all the albums ive heard there (the ratings weren't as important to me, it was more of a reference point for what ive heard so I don't forget). But I abandoned that like a year ago. way too much work and I hadn't even finished rating all the stuff I had heard in the past, let alone continuing to listen to.

I use it as another music community. Have fun, chat with people and get awesome recommendations. I also disagree with the idea that you should have to wait a year to rate albums because they end up getting rated after one listen... I disagree because albums released in any year are given the same treatment.

Also, it's the best site on the web for cataloging the music you have listened to. I primarily use RYM when looking for tracks to play in plug, for example.

I think I might be too quick to rate the music I hear. I've rated 560 albums (including EPs), but a lot of them I barely even remember (I couldn't name a Meshuggah song if my life depended on it). Sometimes I get the urge to remove all my Nickelback ratings simply because I didn't really pay attention while listening to them and remember just about nothing.

It's there as a reference at least. You can always go back and change it.
