Popular Acts/Albums You Dislike?

Like I said, I'm not huge on Staind. Not big on Sevendust, Limp Bizkit and Papa Roach either. Don't really like Epica and almost any "typical" Beauty-and-Beast-style symphonic metal bands. Not much else I can think of atm but if I think of any I'll let you know.

...actually I feel that way about most of the output of Judas Priest, which is otherwise almost universally praised. I enjoy the first two albums a lot, but after that it´s pretty much select tracks (like Painkiller...), and the rest never did much for me. That doesn´t mean I think it´s bad quality music, it´s just not my poison. 

Not all of them are, most I think just vote for whatever's green or in the lead at the time though. At least I know that trying to change the direction of a vote or even add a new tag is very rarely well received by the userbase, no matter how much justification you post for it in the comments (the exception being when a whole new tag appears on the site for the first time, like Post-Metal, but that's other issue with their voting habits entirely). Your changes will just get voted down and your comments lucky if you even get any counterargument against them. I think best I've ever got is 'nah'. Worst I got was rudeness and accusations of vote rigging, which I did not do. That was from the same person who verbally attacked the community of my website for no reason one time. 

Sometimes I wonder if I just perceive music differently to most, because sometimes I feel like RYM is really voting against the blood obvious. 

I'm sure the majority of the users are also pretty nice people though - just people with some really funny ideas on what music is and how it should be graded. Specifically 'enjoyment' doesn't seem to come into it and I was once even told in not so many words that if I gave something 5 stars in a review I needed cap my ratings for a while before awarding another one. 

There's a few users that as collabs we've learned never to trust the votes from. I won't name them here on the public forums (though will confirm it's no one also on MMA), but it wouldn't take much observation of the votes to at least see who the number one not to ever trust is. 

I haven't looked at them too much myself. The new sites have better filter options on charts which I look forward to making use of but aren't much use for now while the beta sites are based off of long out of data RYM data. 

A thing with RYM is that they've been working toward splitting their music and movie sides (as well as adding a gaming platform) into separate sites and features added to RYM itself seem to get overlooked. And these new sites seem to be taking forever to be properly launched. They've been going on about them for years now. 

Having seen Sepultura with Green fronting a couple of times in the last couple of years, have ignited my interest in the Green-era albums. My interest in Sepultura had originally ended with Chaos A.D. (I didn´t even listen to Roots before after some years after its release), so it wasn´t because Green became the vocliast that I wasn´t interested in their music anymore. It was their stylistic change which meant I wasn´t interested anymore back then. I´ve learned to accept and enjoy more groove oriented music more over the years though, and therefore I´ve begun to investigate the Green-era albums now.
