Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best And Worst Comments

Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best And Worst Comments

It’s officially summer and we’re asking you to pick the season’s defining jam. The poll officially launched yesterday and you can vote here. This week also saw our most-discussed Premature Evaluation of the year so far with Tom’s Yeezus review. Elsewhere we listed the 10 best Pink Floyd songs and ranked Black Sabbath albums, worst to best. We spoke with Jeff Tweedy, Marc Maron, Elizabeth Mitchell, and Laura Ballance. We celebrated the 20th anniversaries of Covenant and Exile In Guyville. And we made Holly, Bonnaroo ASL translator, into an Internet celebrity. As always, your highest and lowest rated responses to these things and more are below.

#7 crania americana | Jun 14th Score:30

This album’s just like that time when Steve Jobs came up with the ipod, but more indebted to French pastries.

I’m fairly new to Stereogum, but I’ve been able to form a general idea on how comment voting works here:

disagreeing with the consensus: -2 to -10
including a gif: +5 to +15
asking a rhetorical question: +1 to +5
being a new member and posting a guide to how the comment voting on Stereogum works: ???

Tom Mardy | Jun 14th Score:-10

Carrie Battan is the best thing to happen to Pitchfork since Ryan Dombal and before him Rob Mitchum. Dombal is skewed, though. He would still give this a 10 even though there’s one great song on it. Tom Breihan would also give it a 10.

If any Kanye album deserved a 10, it was Late Registration. My Dark, Graduation, and College were all 8-9 worthy. I don’t remember how 808s did, but anything above a 5 is ridiculous. The only great song on that album was the pure pop one–Robocop.
