Always bears repeating.

I guess I wasn't really active in here around that time.

I'd argue that 10/10 is literally impossible, and I think that people underestimate how amazing, say, 8/10 is: there is a well known fallacy wherein people vote from 7-10 instead of from 1-10. I've seen a few posters say things like 'it's solid but not amazing' and then give it a 9, a huge mismatch. That language suggests a 7 or so IMO.

My 2 cents :o:
To be fair, 10/10 only means >= 95%. We're talking a range, not a point.

Yes, now that you mention it this is true given the possible ratings here. I'd still save the >=95% for some of the greatest achievements in the history of man/or absolute favourites (and 9 out of ten still extremely exclusive) (not saying this album isn't, I'm talking more about moderate enthusiasm followed by high ratings).

Like I said Starman is a great song. It is like a 14/10 which is being added to any two songs on the album that are 8/10 so all three songs together end up averaging out as 10/10. So the album as a whole is 10/10. It is about the Law of Averages.

That's my point though: a tendency to see 10 as the start of greatness rather than the 100% perfection that it implies: instead of say, 7.5 being the start of greatness. Again, though, I don't have a problem with people seeing it this way, it's just a bit new to me and I'm more curious than anything.
