Aha, I knew there had to be a special quality for being a prog reviewer. You can't be normal!LOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOL

Someone(s) could have edited their review and/or changed their rating.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I submitted it as a prog reviewer, but edited it after the new weight calculation changes.

This is especially notable on albums that rarely get's any ratings/reviews. I edited one word on my 5 star review of Panzerpappas third album and it shooted up from 4.30 to 4.53 because of these new weight calculationsLOL

^^ for the majority of times I 'rate' an album, the rating doesn't move .01 either way!!LOL
 
still, I don't really think anyone is interested in my oppinion about an album, so perhaps it doesn't really matter....

Could it be because of the weighting given to collab reviews?

Again, I noticed an error while submitting a review on above album.
Before I submitted, the overall rating for the album was 4.14.
After I submitted a review with evaluation 4, the album's overall rating increased to 4.16! Confused
 
Now, this seems mathematically incorrect. What do you think?
