macman76: Inflated Albums

macman76 04.24.16	you guys know the drill
Sevengill 04.24.16	gonna take me a little to wrap my head around this haha Ig Nobel here we come
macman76 04.24.16	you can avoid reading the description and just trust I made the right adjustments to deciding if an album is overrated or underrated
Sevengill 04.24.16	you have my unfailing trust, mac.
Sinternet 04.24.16	i have no idea how you manage to have the time to do this or why you want to do this but all i can say is this is very interesting good job keep it up
macman76 04.24.16	I write code to do this all, I maybe spent maybe 6 hours this week writing the code to make this
Sevengill 04.24.16	are you edward snowden
macman76 04.24.16	nate silver
Sevengill 04.24.16	no shit how many wins will the Red Sox get if our rotation continues being a dumpster fire but Pablo hits 40 homers off the bench
macman76 04.24.16	pablo is good for 8 belt unbuckles above replacement, not enough to top the jays
Sevengill 04.24.16	Joey Bats is worth at least five bat flips above replacement
macman76 04.24.16	no, easily 12 weighted racially problematic news cycle discussions above average
AmericanFlagAsh 04.24.16	Read the description. So confused. But cool! A few of those deflated ones rule.
Ovrot 04.24.16	so this is telling me that Arghoslent is totally radical should be 5'd right
Sevengill 04.24.16	that's what I got from it too, and Warning also
macman76 04.24.16	sure, I mean, not really, but yeah whatever... Also, I made space to make this interactive, request an album and I'll post its values, I'm sure you guys have albums that you think are under/overrated
Spacesh1p 04.24.16	Props again Mac, very cool list.
Sevengill 04.24.16	I like the part where Giant Squid - The Ichthyologist is almost half a point underrated
Ovrot 04.24.16	don't blame me i 5's it
Flugmorph 04.24.16	I like the part where you calculated stuff
macman76 04.24.16	only Giant squid album I have in my dataset is the EP Cenotes
Ovrot 04.24.16	do Death - Symbolic
Sevengill 04.24.16	that one's less underrated I'm just eyeballing these but I know I know.
macman76 04.24.16	keep em comin, gtgtpwtw
Sevengill 04.24.16	but what are the stats for Cenotes and Gamma Ray?
Ovrot 04.24.16	i always knew Symbolic was underrated
Tunaboy45 04.24.16	this man will be the end of us all
macman76 04.24.16	gamma ray, which album, I have like 12 of them
Ovrot 04.24.16	Do a Summoning Album
macman76 04.24.16	sorry, not in my dataset
Ovrot 04.24.16	i'm actually surprised no staff/contrib/etc has reviewed a summoning album
SharkTooth 04.24.16	Do Neurosis's Through Silver In Blood considering yesterday was its 20 year anniversary
emester 04.24.16	Are you built by Boston Dynamics or IBM or something of the like?
macman76 04.24.16	wow, that one was also not staff/etc reviewed... it is possible that one of its reviews was by a contrib that is no longer listed as one... I have honor found in decay and the jarobe split
macman76 04.24.16	skynet... would an algorithm also be watching nba playoffs and learning cirice on the guitar (I guess maybe hal)
Ovrot 04.24.16	cryptopsy - none so vile i know chan reviewed that one
Sevengill 04.24.16	uhhh Somewhere Out in Space. I figure they'll all be similar since power metal fans are a specific sort.
Tunaboy45 04.24.16	If you're taking requests, could you do Mogwai's Come On Die Young
macman76 04.24.16	c.o.d.y not in the data set, these are: [2] "Mogwai-Mr.-Beast" [3] "Mogwai-Young-Team" [4] "Mogwai-The-Hawk-Is-Howling" [5] "Mogwai-Zidane-A-21st-Century-Portrait-OST" [6] "Mogwai-Music-Industry-3.-Fitness-Industry-1." [7] "Mogwai-Hardcore-Will-Never-Die-But-You-Will" [8] "Mogwai-Earth-Division"
AmericanFlagAsh 04.24.16	Do Ok Computer
Dylan620 04.24.16	Deftones - Gore Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica
macman76 04.24.16	can't do gore, mm coming up
Ignimbrite 04.24.16	TIL Soulja Boy is quantitatively underrated
macman76 04.24.16	added some more albums to the list
Ignimbrite 04.24.16	I'd love to see analyses for Deafheaven's two most recent albums, if possible.
ZippaThaRippa 04.24.16	Zero surprise that Arghoslent has the highest deflation.
ZippaThaRippa 04.24.16	Do Grand Belial's Key - Judeobeast Assassination. I would imagine the results will be similar.
Ignimbrite 04.24.16	HA SUNBATHER IS OFFICIALLY UNDERRATED
ArsMoriendi 04.24.16	Do Beck - Sea Change just because I've been digging it lately lol
macman76 04.24.16	sea change and Judeobeast never got a staff review... so I don't have it
ArsMoriendi 04.24.16	Oh, they need a staff review? Uh... idk PJ Harvey's new album has been getting a lot of mixed reviews.
macman76 04.24.16	also needs to have been before March 20th which is when I scraped the data, sorry
ArsMoriendi 04.24.16	I give up damn
macman76 04.24.16	by this methodology, every deftones album rating is inflated (meaning they are overrated)
ZippaThaRippa 04.24.16	I mean yeah but we all knew that
macman76 04.24.16	Another strange thing, the inflation score is correlated with the mean rating of the albums (the more deflated the album, the higher the rating of the album) I'll maybe add the score after adjusting for that correlation
anarchistfish 04.24.16	peer reviewed or gtfo
macman76 04.24.16	If someone wants code to scrape or raw data, I could make Google doc
Sevengill 04.24.16	Paysage D'hiver - Winterkalte pls
Ashen 04.25.16	hmm maybe do gy!be - f#a#
Sevengill 04.25.16	I knew it. Winterkalte's a stone-cold 4.4. Let's make it happen guys.
macman76 04.25.16	"edit: sorry never mind" has a shit ton of reviews, none by staff
macman76 04.26.16	pmub
Dylan620 05.01.16	I don't know if this is still alive or if there's a limit on how many albums people can request (since I already put in a couple requests a while ago), but... The Weakerthans - Left & Leaving The Weakerthans - Reconstruction Site
macman76 05.01.16	in honor of the 69th comment, request granted
Dylan620 05.01.16	Haha thanks! Always knew both albums were underrated :D
porcupinetheater 05.01.16	They don't hit the 250 ratings cut off, but I'd be curious to see this applied to Universum's albums - those two records had one guy make about 30 accounts and rate 'em perfectly and ridiculously inflated the score to ridiculous levels, especially for shitty barrel scraping melodeath
macman76 05.01.16	you're in luck, I had one of their albums for rankings purposes i only did stuff for the albums with 250 or more, but I could technically get the data for all albums
Insurrection 05.03.16	i'm curious to know how overrated koi no yokan is. that shit had a 4.7 with like 200 ratings when it came out
macman76 05.03.16	added. mentioned this before, but all the 'tones albums (all lps minus gore) in my dataset show rating inflation (overrated).
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.03.16	are you autistic or just wondering
macman76 05.03.16	I'm ableist
