Sputnik music: a place for music lovers of all genres

I have spent a good amount of my life on the internet looking for new music or listening to new music. There are a lot of websites out there that will try to point you in the right direction of what is good music and what is bad music. Out of all my searches I always come back to one website and that website is called Sputnikmusic.com. This is mainly a music review websites where avid listeners can check out what other people have to say about their favorite albums.

This website contains almost every genre from ambient to heavy black metal, anything really you name it. There seems to be a slight bias towards rock and metal genres because that is the majority of the albums that get reviewed. Nonetheless, the community reviews rap albums, pop albums and everything else as well. They rate everything on a 0-5 scale with 5 being an amazing album. This is also a site where you can find out the latest news in the music world when it comes to bands.

The community is really helpful for the most part, anyone can write a review and the staff works very hard to make sure you are using the right grammar and writing interesting reviews. They comment on users reviews to help them improve. There are a lot of useless fights because which band is overrated and which band deserves to be number one, but of course this comes with any type of media that is based on opinion.


I like this site so much because a lot of the higher rated albums are albums that I love or learn to love. The site has introduced me into a whole lot of new bands from a wide variety of genres. And for that I am very grateful.

The future of vision?

The era of all that crazy technology in movies is starting to show itself with the new augmented
reality devices. These are devices that are essentially glasses that give you a whole new perspective on what you can see and interact with. An augmented reality device is a device that allows you to add in elements to your original experience. This means you can generate objects or pets that you can interact with if you are wearing the augmented reality devices. These glasses give you a whole new way to experience life.

Google came out with their own augmented reality device called the Google Glass but this was discontinued recently and they said they cancelled it so they could work on something more advanced. This device was used for creative purposes, medical purposes, agricultural purposes and many more. This piece of technology proved its worth in more ways than one, it was just a little ahead of its time so Google decided to work on something more advanced that way they can work everything out before unveiling it to the public.

One thing people were upset with about the Google Glass was because it was bulky and ugly. No one really wanted to wear them because they didnt look good so I suspect Google will make their new version a little more fashionable.

Microsoft also announced they were working on an augmented reality device called the Hololens
where you can generate pets into your environment and you can interact with this virtual buddy kind of like the video game Nintendogs. Although this time it is in real life and you have a more personal relationship with this bit of coding.


These devices are essentially smartphones/video game consoles for your eyes and im sure everyone will want to get their hands on one when they become available to the mass public.
