This website is like Wikipedia, in that it is ran and gatekept by random individuals of a mostly far-left political bias. This is extremely disappointing, it means bands do not receive honest, unbiased information or reviews applied to them.
I tested their bias after seeing a concerning post by moderators and VIP user's where they openly admitted their bias, in which reviews they are likely to allow and how they review some bands.
"I've also given some positive reviews to RABM bands that not only promote progressive and left-leaning thought, but also have some excellent riffs."
To test their bias, I posted a detailed review several paragraphs long which was positive but didn't follow the guidelines, their guidelines, for a left wing and a right wing band, only the left wing band was approved.
I then followed the guidelines and wrote a negative review for a left wing and right wing band. The negative review for the left wing band was rejected.
Sickening level of bias rendering this website useless.
Furthermore the website is extremely toxic, moderators I noticed post reviews they dislike on the public forum to humiliate and ridicule people. This is a common far-left tactic dating back to the Bolsheviks or more recently practiced on Reddit along with 'brigading'.
The website is also elitist in that the moderators will ignore many subgenre's if they dislike them.
Use Discogs instead, it without bias show's every artists' discography.
