Holy crap, I added the total number of comparisons you'll have to make in the standard and comprehensive methods - if you rank every song in the comprehensive ranker, you'll be making 29,161 comparisons.

I should implement a save function...

I've had some free time over the last week, so I've updated the song ranker.

http://return-to-form.surge.sh/

It now has:

* A better filter - you can also copy the URL on the ranking page so you can give other people the same filter
* Multiple rating systems - standard ranking, a "every song vs every other song" for the insane, a Ruddo-friendly 1, 0, -1 system, and star rating.
* Some basic album stats after you've ranked

Lemme know if there's any bugs

This should be on every page.

I have never listened to it “as an album”, and I don’t really consider it to be one.

I am really happy we got it. It’s the only Pearl Jam album apart from Ten, that I was not aware of as it was being released. It came as a huge positive surprise to me when I found it in a record store.

I always thought they could have done a different route, and created a more traditional album of the stronger songs, while still making it clear they were Lost Dogs.

Even with this format, I don’t understand why they would include Gremmie over stronger songs they left out. At least Sweet Lew was unreleased.

But if we get another b-sides album, I hope they go for 30+ songs again.

[stip]

Abnorman - is it possible to create a go back option in case you make a mistake and don't want to start over.

Please keep in mind that this is simply a humble suggestion for improving what is already an amazing tool!

I've added a back button to two of the rankers, but will have to find more time to do the other two - they work a bit differently.

My gut instinct was to rank it above Binaural, too. But I just couldn't do it. Binaural took years to climb from the bottom to that spot on my list. I ain't bumping it for an album I've listened to only three times. Just doesn't feel right.
