Good lord, stip

I was the top placement for L-bolt, too

This is great, 4/5.

Definitely. A lot of fun. Thanks.

8.


Pearl Jam's S/T album comes in 8th with an average score of 4.6 points.

S/T appears to come the closest of any album of achieving something of a group consensus.

It is the only the album that wasn't rated by a single participant as a top 5 album.

It was ranked 8th by 61% of participants. (This is the highest concentration of rankings that any album received.)

It was ranked last by another 21% of participants, but for most other users it ranked just above the last two albums.

It received more scores of "0" than any album besides Backspacer.

The majority of scores are between 3 and 6.

The highest score it received was 10, given by three different users.

If we view a score of "10" as representing the median PJ album based on this scoring system (100 points / 10 albums = 10), then this is the only album to not be rated as an above-average PJ album by any participants. Additionally, this idea is reinforced by the previously mentioned fact that no users ranked S/T in the top half of PJ albums.

The consensus appears to be that it is a below-average PJ album that is slightly better than the two albums that have been since released.

For true.

So far, anyway.

How many total surveys, 4/5?

The data analysis is boss. This is my favorite thread right now.

I was not the person who gave S/T a 10, btw.

Based on LB bested BS by 1 vote and their scores were 3.33 to 3.30, I believe the score was 110 to 109 and there were 33 surveys.

You're a wizard.

Can you provide the median and mode?

Not based on the information provided.

Now I kinda wish I gave S/T an above average score.
Gave it a 9 but I do like it a bunch.

Yeah but you skewed the whole "only album not to get a top five" with your bullshit Backspacer rating.

I am such a fan of Backspacer I could have voted it #1 and gave it 90 points that could have change its average, but I didn't want to be considered a Backspacer hipster. In fact I rated Ten ahead of Backspacer cause it felt like the right thing to do. It clearly wasn't.

It definitely was.

Look, I'm a huge fan of backspacer and even I think that's nuts.

Having said that, ten will almost certainly end up criminally underrated due to the statistically anomalously high concentration of idiots in our sample
