Selling England By The Pound remains the most rated album on this site.

For a while it had slowly sunk down to third after a series of coincidental 2-3 star reviews.

It jumped back up to the top spot, as it always does, without any particularly abnormal number of 5-stars.

Thick as a Brick and Close to the Edge have had, if anything, more positive reviews than ever, recently.

Yet SEBTP crawls back up every time.

It makes me wonder if something 'fishy' is going on! Shocked


As deserving as the album is of a high rating.... such activity seems 'engineered' to my eyes.

Yes, haven't you heard? All Prog Reviewers and Collaborators and Admins can manipulate the Top 100 Albums every week.
 
It's supposed to be a secret, but you can call myself an infiltrated guy in the Collab Zone, so shhh...

If I can just throw this out there, have you ever considered Decaf?

It's Phil Collins. He keeps joining under various pseudonyms and giving it 5 star reviews.

No way! He hates the prog albums.  He's the one boosting the last few albums he was on.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

No, that's just part of his evil plan.

I wonder why Selling England is up there in the first place. There's 3 songs that everyone likes, yet the other 5 tracks are generally considered average or are disliked. Confused It seems that some abuse the 5-star rating.

^ I disagree, it is 5 star from start to finish. If that opinion is "abuse" well any opinion is also.

Ratings rankings are just for amusement purposes.  They are kind of like the economy, they go up they go down and no one knows the hell why or how.  
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
