If you look at a bunch of new users' profiles, you'll find they are all rating the same albums 100/100, with no other activity to speak of. I'm referring to all the new usernames that are variations on the word daddy or the n word, as well as some other new usernames such as Boobs and Acdc.

Can't find any buzz about it anywhere (no news articles, reviews, Wikipedia page, or RYM page; Bandcamp page has no supporters), but it's the 17th top-rated album of the 2010s on BEA, thanks to a couple clusters of activity from what appear to be burner accounts from one person.
Here's another (somewhat less obscure) album the same accounts have boosted to a very high rating:

Based on the patterns, I'd wager they're sock puppet accounts of pjohnsongolf.
First album's fishy, but the second is a noted release. Brad Mehldau's fairly well known. Might be some odd spam votes on it, but the first album seems to be 100% 🤔 _________________ Doubles & Conch

I didn't say the second album was not notable. It's the patterns of activity that are fishy. Comparing the activity on the two albums is evidence that the accounts I'm talking about have the same behavior. _________________ Join us in the canon game :) / Add me on RYM
