Haha they came from different era mate, comparison should be made in a particular year or at least 5 years apart at most.

 

Comparing Michael Jordan to Joe Dumars or Reggie Miller will be okay, but doesn't make sense if you compare Jordan to Kobe Bryant or James LeBron, they have different styles, clubs, coach, opponents, etc :D

 

65-70% means you're missing a lot, I'll be generous to give you some links for you to study

We all know Glen is getting more ridiculous with every comment he makes on the Care Of Night disc, but let's not get crazy on the rest of it.

 

You made a comment similar to your first statement in this post in another thread. Actually, two comments. One - you said that there would be a 100% album in every single year. And two, as above, you cannot compare a CD of a different style to another, or, as in this post, that you can't compare a CD from more than 5 years to another? That's craziness, mate!

 

To each their own on how they rate stuff, but it's not a very accurate system you have going there. I rate anything and everything within the same guidelines and if an album from 1989 rates higher than an album from 2009, that means, in my eyes, it's better, and vice versa. To me that's kind of the point of our whole silly rating system. If 90% means something different in 1989 compared to 2009, then that just doesn't make any sense to me.

 

And if a glam CD rates higher than an AOR album, or a modern rock album, or vice versa - to me that means it's a better album. That's the simplicity of it all.

 

It seems like you have some crazy provisions in place that kind of contradicts a lot of your efforts?

:lol: No one else apart from Nightrain is saying it's better than anything from 1989, though I'm sure it'll be better than plenty, imo, but there's no doubt at all it's far superior to the Revolution Saints album. :)

 

Nostalgia aside, if I'd lived with it for as long as those albums on your list, I have no doubt in the world I would easily prefer it to stuff like Babylon AD, Benny Mardones, Enuff Z' Nuff, Shark Island, Warrant, for example.

 

It's hard to acknowledge something like that as many people have lived with those CDs for nearing on three decades and they're like body parts. Calling something brand new better than something that's been a part of your life for so long is complex, but if you look at it from a logical, honest and emotionless point of view, I have no doubt the Care Of Night album would stack up nicely for me.

The particular reason for that is rating tends to change over years. I just think it's not fair comparing to anything released in the last 5 years to what's released 20-30 years ago because those new albums you only listen 2-3 times and put down a rating, and the old ones probably more than 50 times. I just found it's more relevant to compare scores to artists in the same genre in a span of 5 years because the sound and influence tends to be similar and they received the same amount of spins. Who knows Issa will stood the test of time and in fact better than those albums I rated above but until 25 years later, I'll not judge anything :D

 

and Glen, don't go away man hahaha

I'm gonna rate this thread 89.664356 %, but if it had been written 13.83654.5 years ago, it would have got 92.569123%, compared to 15.768435 years ago, when it would have achieved a 94.348671% rating.

It's sitting at three hens and a fire engine for me.

Lol, I guess if you're rating things out if 10 or whatever you need to have a reference point. What is the perfect song? I guess that means for you nightrain you need a reference song for a rocker, ballad, power ballad, epic song, acoustic song.. Etc. And then one for each genre hard rock, AOR, Sleaze, melodic metal, power metal etc. Lastly, make sure you have one for each 5 year period to make sure your comparing apples to apples. Got it? Then you better revisit all of your reviews with your reference point all sorted out! ;)

Perfect song is subjective bro and you know it. I only translate that to numbers. Actually, I mentioned the other day that I want to take a good listen to at least 100 albums per year probably starting from 1980 all the way to 2015, that's still a long way to go but i'll share it here later :D

 

and I always revisit and revise my reviews after a while, don't worry about that, and the only intention to that whole rating system is to keep track of the thousand albums that you probably forgot how it sounds and to know what CDs I'll get rid and what will be kept, and I like to see people's take on certain albums to see what I've been missing, what I've been over or under-rating, simple as that :)

Subjective opinions are very complex and impossible to discern. For example, Rolling Stone Magazine rated Kurt Cobain higher than Eddie Van Halen on their BEST GUITARISTS OF ALL-TIME list.

 

Lets just say I haven't read a single line from that fish-wrap since.

Lol, what an Fin' joke.

My brother and I are 13 years apart and have different music likes. Now to each their own, BUT there is a show with Jimmy Page, The Edge, and Jack White. I asked my brother about "Jack White" being in this group and being called "Guitar God" and he said absolutely,I didin't know what to say!

Yeah, I've heard/read a lot of praise for that guy, but I just don't know.
