Wow, during all this I actually found 1 person who had the balls to write a 1 star review of Close to the Edge! LOL

Well, here is is folks- the MOST OVERATED ALBUM ON THIS SITE. Easy..no doubt about it.

The "epic" close to the edge- starts as a headache- the 1st 3 minutes sound like a truck

filled with musical instruments colliding with a wall- its horrible- not untill the femanistic

vocals come in does the song take a slight change for the better. Yes- he sounds like a

woman. The lyrics are not as 'deep' as everyone says- instead, they are rather basic- most

liekly sophistcated to an 8th grader. Dont try to analyze "Seasons Change..I get up..I get

Down" ust meaningless lyrics. The rest of the album is DULL- nothing great here at all- but

a headache, and an oveerated pile of trash. BLAH!!!"

He could at least spell correctly before posting such a negative review of something most people consider to be a masterpiece LOL

I actually haven't listened to Close To The Edge

*runs*

NOOOO!!!!!!!! hahhhaa.

Alright, so what's next to do? Tongue

hahhhah. .sell it brother... sell it! LOL

I'd do a summary post in your collab area thread. Telling in general terms.. remember Bob's reaction.. we dont' want to make a drunk out of him hahhahah State how it is an improvement over the one we have already. Once you do, we'll get the site superluminaries to drop in from the penthouse of prog.... and take a look at it.

Oh man... this is going to be difficult... I have NO idea how to even start that hahaha.... uhhh.................... geez....

EDIT: Maybe we should get a list of everyone's concerns and problems about ratings in general, and see what it solves, and whether or not there is anything left to be solved. For the most part I think it takes care of the majority of people's problems with ratings, though.

a bit of learned advice.... take your time, you have plenty of time to pick at it.....NOTHING happens quickly here. LOL

An impatient, go getter of a collab... is a burned out one.

I'm gonna do some searching into threads dealing with ratings, and see what problems people seem to have. Then I'll address those in my statement.

of course you do... Clap

Even if you think it doesn't live up to the hype (what does). It obviously is an album every prog fan should have. A true essential album of prog.. which reviewers like that twit above.. don't begin to fathom.

I'll make some offers.. that people can't refuse LOL

. M@X loves to f**k around with things anyway. In the last couple of weeks.. he's screwed around with everything BUT that. SO the site is due for more change hahhahah

In blunt speak though... the math and the result are very valid.. I would hate to see you invest all this time... for nothing. If you can show an improvement or refinement over what we have... should be no reason not to at least try it. If M@X doesn't like it after some time... he can change it. He's good at that.

Well I just added even more to it hahaha. Now you can change the weights for collab ratings, ratings with review, and ratings without reviews. I used the percentages to figure out how many ratings don't have reviews.

It's pretty fun to play around with hahaha Just by simply changing one number, say the amount of weight given to collabs or the total number of rating, you can see how the whole score will be affected. I like this kind of sh*t haha

With the way the ratings look for those two, that would impossible without heavily distorting the ratings beyond any form of logic hahaha I think it would be a crime for Genesis not to be in the top 10 anyway haha. Unfortunately ELP, in my opinion, is sadly underrated on the archives Cry

Besides, I'm happy enough with my PR status, no need to become SC Smile

Well considering 48 collabs rated Selling England by the Pound a 5, and only 19 collabs rated Brain Salad Surgery a 5 it makes a huge difference haha

If you keep the current weights of collabs having a 10, all other reviews a 3, and nonreview ratings a 1, Brain Salad Surgery gets an overall score of 4.05

If I bump collab weight down to 3, and other reviews down to 2 it gets a 4.11

Make all ratings equal and it stays with a 4.11. You want it to get any higher then you better start convincing some collabs that ELP is better than Genesis Wink

HAH!!!!!! It has taken 2+ years to only gather a small elite strikeforce of ELP fanatics from the gen pop here... it might take another 10 to get enough collabs with all the Genesis on the brain around here LOL

Oh well...I guess I will have to accept that Wink

It's funny because there are clearly a good deal of reviews that love Brain Salad Surgery. If you give non-collab reviews a higher weight than the collab ones (ie reverse them - collabs 3, reviews 10) the rating shoots up to a 4.24 Tongue

In ten years all of the acne-faced adolescents will have been promoted to SCs and DT will dominate 6 of the 10 top spots with Opeth dominating the other 4. There won't be any room for Genesis or ELP.

For a second I was scared, but then I realized anyone worthy of that position probably listens to a hell of a lot more than just prog metal haha. Hey, I'm only 18, and I love everything equally Hug

And hey, I just started getting into Magma today!!!
