What's in the sleeve

A diary with a turntable in it.

Eight things that make it more than a list of scores.

  1. 01

    Etch the dead wax

    Every log gets one line scratched into the ring around the label. Sixty characters. Make it count.

  2. 02

    Charts you can't game

    Best of all time, by year, decade, genre or feel, weighted so one 10 can't top anything. Plus the most divisive records and hidden gems.

  3. 03

    Listening clubs

    Start a private club with your friends. Take turns picking a record each week, then compare scores.

  4. 04

    Say how it feels

    Melancholic, lush, late night: pick a few words when you log. They add up on every album page.

  5. 05

    Crate swaps

    Send a friend one record they have to spin. They send one back. Scores go side by side.

  6. 06

    A page that's yours

    Build it from widgets: podiums, mixtapes, stat boards, your queue, your words. MySpace energy, zero code.

  7. 07

    Matches, not follower counts

    See how closely anyone's taste lines up with yours, where you agree and where you'll fight.

  8. 08

    Start in two minutes

    Quick-rate a stack of records you know, or bring every rating over from Musicboard, Rate Your Music, Discogs or Last.fm.

Why is the rating on this so low, fools. Also, when people say certain albums are too long, do they not realize they are listening to deluxe reissues? See so many reviews of albums in general talking about songs that aren’t actually on original releases but were added after the fact, hence not technically being on the…
