I recently updated mine, my average is now 9.70, closer to the middle of the pack. I'll probably continue to tweak over the upcoming months.

OK, there is a Gnosis mistake on the first and second Pererin
albums (80 & 81 respectively) and noted there as 79 & 81. (just like there is one for Eskaton's 4 Vision) This means the Pererin debut did not appear on my 79 (too many excellent albums for a short list) or 80 list. I now corrected and Haul Ar Yr Eira is the 80 list - which has a smaller list. Will listen to Teithgan ASAP, to see if it deserves inclusion on the 81 list. EDIT: just updated the list
there isn't any album that couldn't be bettered. For ex: the ultimate Caravan album (a 14 IMHO) still has the relatively poor Love To Love You.
I have no problem extending the "classic" tag to album that I grade as 11 .

On Gnosis 13 is a classic, 12 a borderline classic and 11 excellent. I have a tough time looking at that list and none being classics.

Ian knows where those grades are coming from (the 14 to 10 grades) and in some ways, he's right: I am a tough rater. For the second Pererin, I rated it 9, but I'll check it out again to see if I should reconsider. I've
never used the 15 (prefection doesn't exist) and out of the 7400 albums
rated, I've used the 14 grade only 14 times and grade 13 only 100
times. Grade 12, I used it 370 times and grade 11 some 870 times. Just
like here in PA, I start rating there from the middle value (here it
should be 2.5, but I default at 2 or 3 *) and over there the bulk of my
ratings are 10, 9 & 8 (a lot of 7 & 11 as well) over there. 6400
of 7400 ratings are between 11 and 7... and I think it should be lower,
but I can't be bothered rating artistes I don't like much unless they
come in the updates. ========== It's all there in the stats section, Ian. You can check anyone's stats in the project. For ex, I see that you've played the game fully by rating (or refused to) rate) everything the database (unlike Zappathrusta). You're one of the rare to have done so. But my average rating is less than 9 (second or third lowest on the project), wheras you're at 10.20. Edited by Sean Trane - August 03 2021 at 03:14 |
