Predict where Lightning Bolt will rank on RM

[hlniv]

Using these results, http://archive.theskyiscrape.com/viewto ... 1#p3316761, I've summed up the scores of each album, using a 100 scale based on % of voters who rated each song "good/great"

Album
Top 8 / Top 10 / Full Album / Avg 3 categories

Vitalogy
779 / 955 / 1058 / 931

Yield
746 / 902 / 1052 / 900

Ten
749 / 892 / 983 / 875

Vs
721 / 831 / 900 / 817

No Code
715 / 818 / 906 / 813

Binaural
682 / 782 / 880 / 781

Riot Act
596 / 687 / 833 / 705

S/T
498 / 578 / 638 / 571

Backspacer
452 / 490 / 514 / 485

Where will LB end up after a few months worth of listens?

I'll say 650 in the average of the 3 categoris, #8 out 10, but close to Riot Act. Could move ahead of Riot Act.

43

No way 43, 34 maybe but 43 is ridiculous.

[Norah]

I'm guessing it'll either be last or second to last for me.

[BurtReynolds]

no1 fucking album of alltimes!

[Farmer John]

Third from the bottom sounds about right to me.

I'm pretty sure it'll be 8 for me, just over S/T and Backspacer, which jostle for last place. But that's all I wanted and it makes me happy to think we might have the best album of the latter period here.

By latter period do you mean post Riot Act?

I prematurely hit submit. Fucking tab then enter = submit

Anyway, it was intended to be math based from the consensus thread.

Give him a break. He probably doesn't realize that there's only one acceptable way to rank the albums (chud's way).

[stip]

I expect it to be 5, with a shot at 4

[Thejambi]

It will probably sit at 5 or 6 personally.
9th knowing this place.

I'm guessing it'll either be last or second to last for me.

[Tuolumne]

One question (not sure if this has been discussed before): Why do we not include Lost Dogs in these things? It's a frickin double album of original studio material. It may technically be a "compilation" and some of the songs appear in some rare places, but it is an absolutely essential piece in understanding their creative output. And if considered, it would make it pretty far into people's reanking. I think TSIS and RM need to reassess this, as well as the general fan community. They have 10 albums prior to Lightning Bolt, not 9, as far as I'm concerned.

If MFS, Infallible, Pendulum and Yellow Moon turn out to be fantastic songs and if SBM turns out good it will probably be in my 8th place. Otherwise it will jump between 8, 9 and 10th place depending on my mood.

It's place in RM's overall ranking will depend heavily on those last songs but I don't think it has a chance at cracking the top 7.
