Honestly, it's just a weighted average of a numerical score based on vague and outdated criteria left by a plethora of users who each have their own slightly different way of interpreting those criteria. I can't care less. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well spotted -- that's an exceptionally long streak, nothing comparable comes to mind.
One day I'll understand why this monotonous chewing gum is so well-respected here. |

Different strokes for different folks...Resistance is my favorite IQ.  I plan to listen to IQ's last three albums often this summer. Edited by omphaloskepsis - 1 hour 40 minutes ago at 20:26 |

^ their policy of releasing an album every 5 years seems to have paid off, treat em mean keep em keen.
2009 onwards Big Big Train have achieved 9 4+ star albums over the same period that IQ have put out just 4 albums (I'm counting Far Skies Deep Time which is classed on PA as an EP but is album length new material) and that is nearly 10 as The Grand Tour is at 3.97 av rating. It's not a run though. |

This may have been discussed before, but IQ now have a run of 8 “proper” new studio albums which all have a rating on here of at least 4. That’s Ever (1993) through to Dominion (2025), leaving out Seven Stories Into ‘98 (a re-record of their very first “release”).
I’ve checked a few of the big-hitters on here and can’t find any runs that match this. Genesis went close, with 7 albums (Trespass through W&W). Does anyone know of any run that can match or better this? IQ are amazingly consistent: I would have all of their proper studio albums at least 4 stars, except for Resistance (probably a 3) |
