I recently noticed a big deficit in the top 25 albums listed especially in the zhuel and krautrock sections. Some albums in the top 25 have only a couple of reviews that give them 5 out of 5. The thing is this is misleading while an album might be listed below it in the list with an average of say 4.25 but yet have 15 reviews. I believe this could be misleading to people unfamiliar with groups listed so high but only having a couple of reviews. I think for the top 25 listed ineach section should have at least 10 reviews, so at least there is some sort of gauge of what people generally feel about the album rather than two hardcore fans having thier albums appear in the top 25. I understan that this might be difficult in the zehuel and krautrock sections in particular since there is not as many votes. Anyway i'm sure the 10 vote thresehold suggestion may help in guiding a more legitimate rating of albums in the top 20 albums. ThanksSmile

Nice - it cleans up the sub genre lists.
 
BTW: You should consider listing the albums with less than 5 reviews on a page, like those without any reviews. That would be a useful list!Smile

^ it would be useful together with a genre selection, to find albums with few reviews. The top 100 list page could be easily adjusted to offer that - just add two text fields where you can enter a minimum number of reviews and a maximum number of reviews.
