How to rate compilations/live/remix albums

demetrios · 2012-02-11T01:08:04-05:00

Being relatively new on this forum, I have browsed around other people's album charts. I have noticed that some people choose to include "best of" albums in the charts, and I've also noticed other people criticising them about it. Of course everybody can do anything they like with their own charts, but I do agree that this thing should be kind of "frowned upon". My question is what's the case with live albums? and further more what's the deal with remix albums? Is there a general consensus about it? Again I'm guessing there is no "website policy", but I just want to hear how YOU guys feel about this. Is it "legitimate" to include a remix and/or live album in one's album chart?

I'm fine with live albums, I think they should be included for sure 😄

Remix albums aren't normally that great...so I don't think they get included too much, but I'd say it's ok to have them too.

Compilations shouldn't be included 😐 They aren't albums. They're compilations.

I've no problem with compilations being included, but I really hate seeing box sets here! Remix albums, I think are fine too.

I see that the people who think that there should be a restriction, choose to put it on remixes and NOT on live albums...
That's funny, 'cause I thought it would have been the other way around.
I mean, usually live albums are... "compilation" albums, but only... you know performed in front of other people. (I know it's not always like this, but it's usually like this).
So... what's the big deal with everyone saying "no compilations" and "yes to live"???

On the other hand
Remixed albums have a merit of their own (or at least that's what I think).
Even though, I'll grant you that they usually suck.
But think of
"The raw and the cooked" and then thing "The Raw and the Remix", to see what I mean. OR
Think of "Happiness" by the Beloved and then think of "Blissed out"
These albums stand on their own. And they can be judged as such. You can say I like THAT one more or less than the "straight" album...

Ya, especially if it is something like the re-release of the Beatles catalog . It's not an album!

Immoral I'd say.
