Jan 14, 2015 You could make a full length album of Eminem's worst tracks, and it would be absolutely dreadful. Do the same with any other artist, and the album would be viewed as forgetable, rather than flat out awful.
Jan 14, 2015 This is classic Eminem stan deflection. They can't even begin to defend the songs in question, so instead they deflect to another artist as an attempt at defense. I felt especially owned when you called me 'b----'!! Too bad poor csw is so dumb that he picked the most highly acclaimed album of 2013 as his target
Jan 14, 2015 it is becoming increasingly clear that csw is not a real Eminem fan, but a troll here to see how low he can stoop by saying patently ridiculous things without anyone realizing it is all an act. no one in real life can be that pathetic
Jan 14, 2015 http://www.metacritic.com/music/yeezus/kanye-west Yeezus has 43 positive reviews, 2 mixed, and 1 negative, which amounts to near-universal acclaim. S'all Swizz was sayin' bud.
Jan 14, 2015 lol Accolades[edit] Based on 146 individual year-end top ten lists compiled by Metacritic, Yeezus was the most critically acclaimed album of 2013, appearing on 61 lists and being named first on 18 of them.[80] In October 2013, Complex named Yeezus the sixth best hip hop album of the last five years.[81] Yeezus was rated as album of the year by nine publications. Spin named it the best album of 2013, writing, "Yeezuswas a thorny tangram puzzle of boxy headbanger blats that exemplified a year of equally stripped-down, basal pleasures."[82] The A.V. Club named it the best album of 2013 saying "It’s magnificent, and it sounds like absolutely nothing else."[83] Rolling Stone named it the second best album of 2013, comparing it in concept to Reed's polarizing 1975 album Metal Machine Music: "No wonder the late, great Lou Reed embraced Yeezus, since it's basically the Metal Machine Music concept translated into futuristic hip-hop, all industrial overload and hypertense egomania and hostile vibes."[84] Exclaim!also named it the hip hop album of the year.[85] NME named it the second best album of the year calling it "his most sonically challenging album to date."[86] Stereogum, Pigeons and Planes, TIME andComplex also named Yeezus the best album of 2013.[87][88][89][90] It was also nominated in two categories at the 2014 Grammy Awards including for Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song for "New Slaves". West responded unfavorably to this due to not receiving more nominations. He then addressed the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences at one of his concerts and referred to it as patronizing.[91][92] The Pitchfork online music publication ranked Yeezus in the eighth position of a list of the best 100 albums of the decade "so far"—between 2010 and 2014—on August 19, 2014.[93]
Jan 14, 2015 Are you r-----ed? Do you realize that an album's metacritic score is an average of it's review scores from various publications?
Jan 14, 2015 since we're quoting wikipedia Criticism of game metascores[edit] Many video game reviewers take issue with the way Metacritic assigns scores. When a game reviewer gives a video game a rating of "A", Metacritic assigns it a value of 100. When a reviewer gives a game a rating of "F", Metacritic assigns it a value of 0—although some reviewers think a score of 50 is more appropriate.[2] When a reviewer gives a game a rating of "B-", Metacritic assigns it a value of 67—and many publishers, developers, and websurfers erroneously believe that the score should be closer to 80, instead of using the same linear scale as other scoring conversions.[4] A former editor at the review site Game Revolution, Joe Dodson, criticized Metacritic and similar sites, saying their conversion system was turning their reviews into scores that were too low.[2] Doyle said "I feel that ANY scale simply needs to be converted directly with its lowest possible grade equating to 0, and the highest to 100." [4] Doyle said some publishers want him to include certain critics that Metacritic does not track and some want certain critics excluded, usually because they give a game a poor review. Another common complaint from US publishers is that British critics should not be reviewing games that are based on American sports like the NFL,NASCAR, or the NBA. Doyle said, "Conversely, many European publishers feel that American critics are not qualified or properly situated to review football, rally, F1,cricket and rugby games". Doyle said, "once I've decided to track a publication, I cannot pick and choose which reviews I list on Metacritic based on such individual judgments".[4] Publishers often try to persuade Doyle to exclude reviews they feel are unfair, but Doyle said that after a publication has been included in the system, he refuses to omit any reviews that receive complaints.[2] The Xentax Foundation analyzed the games related data at Metacritic and published their findings in a 30 page comprehensive paper on January 19, 2014.[8] One of the conclusions of the author, Mike Zuurman, was "The data at Metacritic leaves much to be desired and seems to be heavily biased", while calling the validity and the accuracy of the data "low". Influence of game metascores[edit] Nick Wingfield of The Wall Street Journal has written that Metacritic "influencethe sales of games and the stocks of video game publishers", citing as example "One company [which] requires game publishers to pay higher royalties if they receive low scores on such sites". Wingfield explains the influence of the website as coming from the higher cost to consumers of buying video games than for buying music or movie tickets.[2] Many executives say that low scores "can hurt the long-term sales potential" of game franchises.[2] Wingfield wrote that Wall Street is paying attention to Metacritic and Game Rankings because the sites typically post scores before any sales data are publicly available, citing the rapid rise and fall in value, respectively, of the relevant game companies following the release of BioShock and Spider-Man 3.[2] In an interview with The Guardian, Marc Doyle cited, "two major publishers" which "conducted comprehensive statistical surveys through which they've been able to draw a correlation between high metascores and stronger sales" in certain genres.[4] Doyle further claimed that an increasing number of businesses and financial analysts use Metacritic as "an early indicator of a game's potential sales and, by extension, the publisher's stock price."[4] In 2004, Jason Hall of Warner Bros. began "including 'quality metrics' in the contracts the studio signed with partners interested in licensing Warner movies for games". If a product does not receive specific scores or better from aggregator sites like Metacritic, some deals require game publishers to pay higher royalties to Warner Bros.[2] In 2008, Microsoft began using Metacritic review averages to de-list underperforming Xbox Live Arcade games.[9][10] Further criticism of the website[edit] Under recent years, Metacritic has been the subject of heavy criticism due to the controversial way the website currently handles the banning of users and their reviews with no notices or proper appeals for the affected.[11][12] Critics and developers alike have pointed out the website's lack of personnel management along with the automatic systems as video-games in particular, can be "Bombed" with 0/10 ratings under just one night, severely damaging the reputation of a video-game title. Signal Studios president and creative director Douglas Robert Albright III has gone forth and described the website to have "No standards".[13]
Jan 14, 2015 Yes, because criticism of Video Game metacritic scores is the same as Music Metacritic scores.
Jan 14, 2015 Have you read what you copypasted fa----? How is it that a 15 year old kid has greater intelligence than a supposed adult, as if your not some lame troll.
Jan 14, 2015 csw621 what's your point with those Metacritic complaints? The main thrust of what you posted is that some people don't believe numbers are assigned properly (and then a bunch of unrelated stuff, like how users get banned :S). But what I posted has nothing to do with the numerical score Yeezus got. What I posted consists of a compilation of rankings of Yeezus on year-end lists. In this case Metacritic wasn't interpreting anything - they were literally just copying and pasting an album's ranking from a website's list. There's no way you can make that controversial. They're taking lists published elsewhere and compiling them, unchanged. So what you posted is totally irrelevant and totally dodges the point Tbh, I don't blame you - you tried to laugh at me when I called Yeezus "acclaimed" and I presented pretty indisputable evidence that it was, in fact, *extremely* acclaimed, whether you like it or not. When you're proven wrong like that I guess all you can really do is distract and change the subject, which is what we've seen you attempt over and over again, and what we're seeing you do now.
Jan 14, 2015 so if i quote royce or rick rubin talking about em as the undisputed goat will you reply to their points? if i say mmlp2 did 5 million what will you say to yeezus doing a million
