Honestly I don't get the point of power rankings: Who cares about the averaged lump opinion of other music listeners? Also, I feel like most albums there get really up-rated or really down-rated. A lot of people care about what the average opinions of albums are, as it can help determine which albums are most worth listening to, since not everybody is going to be able to purchase each album. It's the same with video games and movies: few are going to spend money on a game or movie that has gotten bad reviews from critics. That's why sites such as Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes are so popular. I actually think this average rating system works better, as opposed to reviews by individual critics, which is done on sites like Allmusic and Pitchfork. |

Really? I loved it. It did have a ton of filler songs, but I liked a lot of the songs on it. I loved the style it brought.

Folie a Deux that high on the Fall Out Boy one?
That one was terrible, From Under the Cork Tree is clearly their best.
JEW is perfect except they should put their s/t past Invented.

Wow, the Anberlin one really shocked me. Blueprints is really good. But not Cities good... that album was amazing. I didn't really like The Script's s/t. How are you doing these by the way? Can you do one for The Audition?
