^ Okay 3rd from top is probably not - but the rest... too close - unless all Columbians love Floyd & hate Genesis and/or Yes.

I don't know Dean- I looked at all their ratings, and I can't see a huge common bond. But you may be right. |

Seems the alteration to the algorithm to allow less popular but highly rated albums into the top 100 has side-effects ...

Has anyone mentioned how easy it is to bump a group into the most popular groups listing (top 40). Six Organs of Admittance has 8 albums, and one live. No reviews or ratings. Yet, it has been in that list for a least a few weeks. Dunphy was there for a bit too.

Seconded.
Some weeks ago I reported someone in the reporting thread who had the same attitude, and ALL the 1-star ratings were removed a bit later. That should be the precedent for the current case.

yeah

Back on topic. I bought the new Gazpacho from iTunes the day it was released, listened repeatedly to it for a week, and judged it relative to previous Gazpacho work and the sub-genre as a whole. I see Gazpacho's recent work as superior to anyone else's in the current Neo/Crossover genre (Beardfish come close). BUT it wouldn't be in my top 20 albums of all time. I've been somewhat surprised that the album has not garnered any more collaborator reviews - I've been waiting for the shoe to drop. You know, reviews like 'the previous fanboy reviewers are deranged, this is a sweet but bland album, three stars.'
Clearly it's not a Top 10 of all time album. It's not even better than 'Night' IMO. When the critics have their say it'll settle down. I'm a sucker for this sort of music, but don't rip me for the rating, read the review. I've tried to be helpful, suggesting who might like it and who won't. But the instance pointed out at the beginning of the thread is a clear case of abuse. Whether it influences ratings or not is not the issue. They should all be removed.

Great pic Rob, does that mean you went to see them or him?
![]() ![]() And, yeah, that pic Micky, is classic. And yeah, I know Rob you got a lot of stuff before Whitesnake, but if you ever see it cheap on vinyl or CD, and you want something fresh, it won't dissapoint you. (Ready an' Willing I'm talking about, of course) |
