4.33 (Warning: only 2 ratings) http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_CD.asp?cd_id=7662#reviews">

How is the average rating a 4.33 when there is ONLY 2 ratings?

See this thread Dalt:

Hmm. I see. I don't disagree with the idea...

Maybe I think 2 and 3 TIMES the rating is a bit much but oh well. If a special collab/reviewer rates an album a 2 (because it's a prog-metal album for instance and he is not a fan of the style) and reviews it, it counts as 3 ratings but someone who loves prog-metal and *knows* great prog-metal when he/she hears it (let's say I review one even though I don't care too much for prog-metal but say I did) rates it with no review a 5, then the total will be 11 (2*3 + 5) which is only a 2.75 avg even though it is one rating of *2* and one rating of *5* for a 3.5 avg.

Well, I am OK with it. Just the 2 and 3 times seems a BIT high.

That of course is a debate for the "Forums, website and general" section Dalt.

I'll close this thread, as there is no actual bug.
