JohnnyBlaze Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 I find this interesting, but just that and no more. If you enjoy ranking albums simply by their songs, then have a great go at it, but for me I feel there's something else involved more than an album being the sum of its parts. I think actually I might try this process at some point, but I would consider my personal, unmathematical, ranking more accurate than a the sum of parts rating, for me anyway.Yup, I can see that. But as I said in that first post 3 years ago, this was simply a reaction/another method of rating albums compared to the onslaught of ways TRFers had at that time.

Crimsonmistymemory Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I don't understand a thing about numerical rating, except 10/10 - to me, all the albums are perfect. No bad songs. That is all. I agree to much math for me so, I will just go with 5's across the board.Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 oh wow this is a good method... :hail: :cheers: So let’s see your scores. I might do mine again to see how my scores have changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_hi_water._ Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Imma do this by percentages. Then I will divide by the maximum points possible (example: 2112 got a 29.75, and I divided by 30). I will also use 4.75, 4.5, and 4.25. So here it is:1st Place - Hemispheres, Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures (my 3 fave Rush albums ) They got 100%.2nd Place - Signals (woah this is better than 2112 and AFTK? :o ) It got 99.375%.3rd Place - 2112, A Farewell To Kings ( :D ) They got 99.1%.4th Place - Grace Under Pressure (maybe this is better than I thought...) It got 98.125%.5th Place - Caress Of Steel ( ) It got 98%.6th Place - Rush, Fly By Night, Power Windows (right around here :guitar: ) They got 97.5%.7th Place - Clockwork Angels (around here too) It got 97.28%.8th Place - Counterparts (a little lower for me tbh) It got 96.81%.9th Place - Vapor Trails (around here as well ) It got 96.53%.10th Place - Snakes & Arrows (I'm fine with this) It got 95%.11th Place - Test For Echo (sure) It got 94.55%.12th Place - Hold Your Fire (okay) It got 94.5%.13th Place - Roll The Bones (correct) It got 93.5%.14th Place - Presto (correct) It got 92.28%.
