No, huge sway is not some obscure band you've never heard of (at least I don't think so...). I'm talking about sway over an album's rating. I just reviewed Brian Eno's Apollo album, and I accidentally gave it 4 stars instead of 3, which is what I decided to award it with, and the change was massive! As I am a PR, and because my review was over 500 words, and due to the fact not many reviewers have reviewed it, my influence on the rating was massive. It changed it from being a 4.20 and what it is now, a 3.90 (I feel a little sympathetic, 3.90 is a bit low for it). It was also in 17th highest rated electronic prog album with the 4, and now with the 3 it is at 44. 17 to 44 - that's huge. I intend this thread to be dedicated to marveling over this incredible piece of factual information, not in complaining about how delicate the system is. I will start. HOLY SMOKES! |

I'm planning on writing some obscure reviews as soon as I get time (I'm gonna try to write a review a day for most of the summer), so I'm probably gonna have a lot of pulling power on those RIO and Kraut albums that only have one or two reviews.

My review of Kenso's 'Yume No Oka' boosted it from 4.34/5 to 4.49/5. I noticed that after posting that review. It really do deserve it though ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

| Well my Unorthodox Behaviour review (original 3 stars) was raised to 4, and the change was 4.12 to 4.20. Not massive, but large all the same. |

My 5***** rating raised it to 4.25, still not enough for top 20.  We need a top 30, or I need to write a review.

| You didn't write a review!?!?! Well you have to do that, mister collaborater. Make one that's just over 200 words, that way it has the largest sway. |

I swore not to do any review that I'd want to until I add all the Romanian band I promised to add and review them in full. That's going to take some time...
