I said in the other topic how I thought it was interesting how all over the place we were on our opinions of the album. Though the statements people are making are universally positive, everyone had different favorites. I decided to use the rankings in this topic to come to a consensus of what people did and didn't like overall. After some quick math, here's what I found (keep in mind this is a small amount of data from the sample size, but still interesting and probably pretty indicative of what overall results would be):
(Yes, I know the chart is a bit messy)
OVERALL RANK (AV RANK)
1. SM (2)
2. Happiness (2.1)
3. Clumsy (3.4)
4. Curve (3.5)
5. Naveed (4)
6. Gravity (6.1)
7. HIPT (7)
8. Burn Burn (7.7)
All of the albums were within 3 ranking spots on everyone's list, I think these numbers are a fair and accurate portrayal of the strength of each album. Happiness and SM are the consensus 1/2 albums with Clumsy and Curve 3/4 and Naveed closely behind. I thought Naveed would be higher. Interesting how they get better til SM, then worse Gravity-BB, then good again for Curve. Curve wan't ranked lower thank 5 on anybody's list, and as high as 2nd (on my list).
OV. RANK (AV. RANK) NOTES:
1. Heavyweight (3.2) - Consistently high rank
2. Find Our Way (3.3) - Received one 8 rank, otherwise could have been ranked 1st overall
3. FITHH (3.4) - Another song with consistently high rankings that could have been 1st, but received one 9.
4. If This is It (4) - A wide range, from 1-8...very divisive track I think. Here is where the top songs and the middle songs divide.
5. AFAYC (5.4) - Similar to If This is It, wide range, people all over the place on this one. Ranked as high as first, as low as eighth.
6. Rabbits (5.5) - Surprisingly low, and would be even lower if not for one 1st place rank.
7. Will Someday Change (5.8) - This one was consistently ranked relatively low, highest rank was 3
8. Allowance (6.7) - Here we are starting to see some seperation between the medium songs and the low songs. Consistently below the medium.
9. Window Seat (7.2) - Though it did receive a 2, was ranked very low by everybody else.
10. Mettle (9.8) - Poor Mettle
Now the Curve songs numbers are much less representative of what people are thinking, given such a small sample size. Unlike the album rankings, the rankings for these songs are all over the place, as I said. For the most part, you can see there are a top group of songs that most people love, a middle group which has differing opinions and a bottom group which consistently scored low. Still, it speaks to the strength of the album that 7 different songs got first or second place votes.
NOTE: Numbers only taken from first 7 people to post their rankings, it took me a while to do this and another person posted
Sorry.
So, I'm no mathemagician, but interesting results. Thoughts??
