Poptimists Album Science #2

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

This is about Proving By Science how good an album really is. The first album to be rated was Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' and it scored 63.75 out of a possible 90 giving it a very respectable 71%. So we now know for sure, conclusively, without doubt, that 71% of 'Thriller' as an album is good, or 7 out of 10 if you will - and this seems about right (even tho the urge in the past may have to been to hail the album as a true classic, it transpires that is not quite the case and that it is a handful of particularly excellent singles that have afforded it this status). A satisfying moment for the Poptimists Science Team now follows...

Now, if you please, join me in rating the following tracks from the Pet Shop Boys' 'Please' album out of ten:

[Poll #852054]



If you've not heard the song before or need a reminder there are several ways you can remedy this. if you have iTunes you can search for the album on there and listen to the 30 second clips - or you can use Amazon and other sites in a similar way. If the song was released as a single you may well find the video on YouTube.

If you've not heard the song and can't hear it you could either not mark it (if you dislike the artist generally) or give it a 5 for balance if you do like the artist generally (seems fair to me all in all).

Don't worry too much about the position of the song in the tracklist and it's relation to what comes before and after it - unless you think that sort of thing affects your response to a track significantly (but I don't think this need happen).
