75/100

111 divide by 15 = 7.4
Fail.
If I'm doing that right...

7.4 x 10 = 74

Then divide the result by itself and the system is fair for everyone!

Yes? So 74%. Still doesn't get it in, if we take 8 as being the minimum.

What? Are you drunk?

If you can understand 74%, what's so confusing about 75%?

Nothing, but this album only reached 74%. If you prefer, 70% or 80%, then 80% makes for a better target figure. In fact, hell with it. I'm just going to make that determination now. Album has to reach an average score of 8 to be considered classic. Or 80% if you prefer.

On the subject of this album, I have to say it bored me to death. The droning, depressing vocals and the uninteresting (to me) music meant I couldn't even finish it, unlike FNM, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I won't be coming back to this one.

Why'd you even ask if you don't care about our input?

Cos I hate you and like wasting your time.

Seriously though: I need to wrap this up. You're the only one who has suggested using 7.5. MicShaz says 8, and so far nobody else is bothered. Granted, few of you may yet even be logged on so maybe I'll leave it till later tonight to decide, but I want to get these out of the way. I bet few if anyone else gives a ****, so the chances are I'll go with my own thought, backed up by Shaz, which is that 8 is the benchmark. If three or four other people, on the other hand, think 7 or even 7.5, I'll consider it, but do you honestly think anyone is going to care? Guess we'll see. I'll make tomorrow morning the cut off. That's my time. Then I'll make the decision, which will be final.
