Most, if not all, of my chart picks(for overall) has 90 or more, most of the chart gets 90, the first 4 get 100, between the first 4 and maybe to 30, take or give a few.

There's a couple of 85's on mine, but mostly 90+

Yes, I guess you're right. I thought it could be kind of cool to improve that, but it doesn't seem to bother anyone, so let's forget it ^^'

Scaruffi have bigger interests than music:

Quote:

“Probably my biggest ambition would be to write a history of knowledge,” he said. “Something that packages all of my interests together: literature, science, philosophy, politics — whatever.” Music, he said, is just one part of a much larger puzzle.

Well yes, his rating system does differ from most other critics. And I have no problem with it if that's how he wants to do it, but I do think it's a little fucked up. I don't get your argument here, you're just picking on me for the sake of it. Do you have nothing better to do, or is the mental institute you're currently occupying so boring that you actually think this is a valid way to spend your time?

Don't worry, Naples is going senile, I wasn't insulting anybody. I was just alluding to the fact that Scaruffi gives relatively low ratings (compared to other critics) to albums he supposedly loves.

Actually it's just a joke, Scaruffi has given really modest scores to albums that he considers the greatest of all time, which questions how much he really tends to value his music. Then again ratings are just kind of a convenient short-hand, not a fully accurate assessment of how someone viewed and appreciates a certain piece of work.

And to sort of answer the original question, you can always click on the album link and then scroll down to user ratings and find out what the user gave the album... but admittingly that's not the same as having the original rating right there, in context of the rest of the chart

This, though I don't get what is meant by "Scaruffi-esque rating system".

But maybe it could be a nice addition, provided it isn't too much work to implement

Hi!

I just noticed that when you are looking at someone's chart, that person's ratings do not appear anywhere under the album name. For example :

Thumbnail. Click to enlarge.

You can't know how this person rated this album unless you click on it and search for the rating in the list.

I don't know if this problem had already been signaled by the past, or if people consider that it is not even a problem, but I just thought I was annoying enough to post it here.

Thanks, and have a nice day!
