Hey guys, new around here. I usually don't like critic's, but I think this site is a great idea. Most of the music I like isn't listed on here, which leads me to my question:
Where can I find a list of sites that are used in making a rating?

I apologize if searching would find it - I couldn't find the right terms.

Are you asking what websites Metacritic uses when compiling reviews? What type of music do you listen to?

Yes, that was my question Mike. I listen primarily to metal, post-rock, and ambient.

Thanks for that link Mike. Why isn't Kerrang on the list?

I'm not Mike.

But right after that list of publications, Metacritic gives a response as to why they've chosen the publications they've chosen.

I'm not Mike

That right, you are not as cool as me.

P.S. That was not me.

Too bad because based on that, I would have agreed with you.

I know you are not Mike, Eric. I responded to Mike who asked for clarification as to what my question was.

Hadn't looked any further, but will - thanks again.

Sorry, I've glanced over that section and it's bullshit.

Exhibit A - I see very few or no metal bands on your site. Kerrang is probably the only well regarded publication in the metal world that reviews everything.

Exhibit B - Rolling Stone rates everything high. I've never seen a bad review from them. It seems like they're afraid to lose readers by reviewing an album bad.

Just my .02 though - it's not my site.

Fair enough. It's not my site either. I'm just a forum moderator. I think just about everyone here has a publication they think sucks or one they wish was included.

I think Metacritic should list only the score for Kerrang.


Anyway. What is some of your favorite Post-Rock? I like Post-Rock a lot, but have found a lot of it to be very weak.
