I'm very much in shock... I haven't been on Progarchives for a couple of days, and now I see some significant changes in the top 100, for ex. PFM in Top 10, Harmonium just outside of it, Deep Purple in the top 30, S.B.B. at #31, and Dream Theater's "Live Scenes from New York" are the band's highest rated album now, while studio version of it, "SFAM" fell from constant 14-20 way down to 53, just ahead of Beatles's "Abbey Road"... We can even talk about some kind of revolution in the top 100, is there a change to the algorhytm?

Yes , there is been a upgrade to the algo , it's now based on the more adequate weighted average calculation (more info here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_average )
 
;-) Any comments sor far ?
Prog On !

It looks a bit weird and not as accurate as the previous one to be honest...

Well, it's certainly shaken things up a bit (CTTE is down at 5). I still believe that proto-prog and prog-related acts should not be included.

Three Floyd and three Genesis top 10 albums. No complaints from me Wink
 
Looking at it, I think the top ten will be a lot less stagnant now. Whether that actually means anything is a nother matter.
 
/ps: I think it should be (audio) studio albums only.

I was looking at one of my reviews giving the band a 3 star and the result is 3.53.  I also gave the same band a 4 star on another album and the results is 3.54.

I'm not that good at math so that's probably why I didn't understood the wikipedia definition. LOL

Ahh there must be a shortage of things to complain about now that we are all getting uptight about the Top 100. Don't like it? So don't look at it!

It hasn't changed all that much. It's refreshing to see some new things in there though. Not that I often look at it anymore.

First time I bothered to look art it in a long time. Better than I remembered. Some more non-british albums, and PFM in top ten is great.

Robert Wyatt and Peter Hammill in too, and Brain Salad Surgery on its way out for good!

Sorry for that, but i think the old one was more accurate.

ÄNGLAGÅRD's Hybris on 17th position?

98. EMERSON LAKE & PALMER (ELP)
Brain Salad Surgery

That seems really strange. I'm not the biggest ELP fan in the world, but 98 position is definitely unfair..

I'd like to know what the weights are. Before, a reviewer's review was worth 2, a review >200 words was worth 1.5, and short reviews and ratings were worth 1, I believe.
