Yep, every album I review is like putting a hit on it. Once I have nailed an album..., oh never mind.

Take all the averages of all the genres you've reviewed and combine them, then post the number.

Where did you think 3.914705882 came from? I posted those into a spreadsheet and used the average function. You forgot to mention you are multiplying by 10. Geeze this annoys me as much as people who round down a .5.  It's akin to having the angles of a triangle adding up to less than 180 degrees.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

42 is the answer to the Universe, life, and everything. I've never even read the book or watched the movie though.

Twenty 5-star reviews and five 4-star reviews for each sub-genre should give the winning result, right?

Just checking. I don't want to write 500 reviews and find out I've misunderstood the rules.

There must be a way to do it with less than 500 - perhaps even less than 100 - reviews. I shall devote my life to finding out how,

Please do, and no, I don't want you to leave, I really want to see you open a blog and devote your life. No sarcasm here, it seems like a gruesome task that once accomplished can be a treat. seriously.

Wait . . . if all the albums I review are from the same sub-genre, I only need to review 25 albums in total?
