What's different here

Your listening backs your rating

Link Last.fm (it works with Spotify). The more you actually play a genre, the more your rating counts there.

Scores that are hard to game

Sudden floods of ratings get flagged, and brand-new accounts count less until they've been around a while.

Reviews worth reading

Reviews rise on "insightful" votes, not likes. Quick takes get their own lane, so real reviews don't get buried.

Rate the snippet

Teasers and live debuts get their own section, kept out of the official score.

No ads. No subscriptions.

No paid tiers, and nobody can buy a score. Every feature is for everyone.

Made by a music fan. Shaped by you.
