By the way, I'm trying to decide what to do about ratings where people have specified that it's based on a live version (WDADRU, Score versions of Another Won and RTK, possibly others). So far I've been excluding them as the majority of songs will have all their votes based on studio versions, but it occurs to me that quite a few people voting (especially for those two songs on Score) may well have only heard the live versions and so are still voting on those. In which case, do we reckon those votes should be included?
As long as the music isn't significantly different, I say count them. AFAIK the ones you specifically mentioned aren't too different except for the vocals.

Yeah but half the reason people rate WDADU so poorly is because of the vocals.

If the only thing that changes is the voice and that makes people like it more, I think that means the songs are good.

Edit: I updated my ratings, and followed TOX's lead and removed ratings for Regression and Through My Words. Then I calculated an average score for every album, for those who are curious. And who wouldn't be!?

Yeah, I think it should mostly count. While there are some differences, in general they're close enough to just count them.
The only song where I consider the live version different enough to affect my score is The Killing Hand, but I judged it from the studio version.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Oh come on Blob, how can you give any song a zero? You mean to say that all those songs have absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever? That's just ridiculous.

Not really. If after repeated listens over the many years I've been a fan, I still cannot recall a song, or bear to listen to it in anyway, then I give it a zero. Maybe I should upgrade Scarred to a 1 for the intro, but in reality, when it's all averaged out, the difference between a 1 and a 0 makes little difference.

I'm with Blob.
Scarred actually makes me a worse person inside when I listen to it. If I could give it a negative number I would.

Yeah I think I agree. I've heard all the studio versions so I've rated based on those, but at the same time, my opinion of songs has been influenced by seeing them live, which is a pretty similar effect really.

Just want to check, did you mean to not rate just that one song?

Nope, I think it's great as well, and so far out of 37 ratings it's average is 7.30, so it's obviously reasonably well liked. Although it has by a long way the highest standard deviation (or variance, or whatever) from BC&SL, so opinions are clearly very split.

It's probably an insensitive thing to say, but it sounds too sappy for me both musically and lyrically. I can totally understand why, and I don't doubt I'll give it a listen in many years time when my father enters his final years, but right now, it's a little much for me to handle.

:lol Exactly. Seriously, the lowest rating it had previously was an 8! I thought it was probably DT's most universally liked song (and for good reason), but emin has ruined that with his silly opinions.

No, I'm the guy who hates Scarred with a passion, and Blob happens to always be the most vocal about his dislike for the song. He also gets a ton of backlash for that, so I feel compelled to tell him I agree with him.

I find it pretty insulting that you think I'm "uncool" and that I seek the approval of those bigger than me to fulfill my opinions.

Sorry ariich. I'll fix that up.

I also like it a lot, mainly because how different and unique it is.

As for emindead's ratings, I disagree with many of them, but I can see some reasoning there, instead of giving random 0s to a bunch of songs or even whole albums.

Btw, ariich, do you mind if I change my ratings quite a bit? I feel I need to lower them a bit, especially that I put like ten 10 ratings I think...

Then I calculated an average score for every album, for those who are curious. And who wouldn't be!?

I did the same thing:

BC&SL: 8.75
Awake: 8.73
I&W: 8.62
SC: 7.21
SDOIT: 7.08
TOT: 6.86
8V: 6.44
SFAM: 6.04
FII: 5.36
WDADU: 4,25

And then I looked at the album ranking I posted a few months ago:

1. Awake
2. Black Clouds & Silver Linings
3. Images & Words
4. Train Of Thought
5. Systematic Chaos
6. Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence
7. Scenes From a Memory
8. Octavarium
9. Falling Into Infinity
10. When Dream And Day Unite

It was interesting, because I thought album perceptions as a whole would make bigger differences between both lists. But they turned to be pretty similar.

@Darkes: You can if you like, though you shouldn't feel any obligation to lower your ratings. I most have higher ratings, some people have more than I do, and some have very few. If you think a song deserves 10/10, give it 10/10.

If you only change a handful then can you just post the changes here? If it's most songs then I'll just re-add your whole thing.

I'm surprised Black Clouds is so high. It's almost like it got an extra point or so solely because it was an improvement over SC. I'm guessing it'll jump down 2 or 3 rankings after some time has passed.

I dunno, my enjoyment of it has stayed extremely high each time I go back and listen to it (listening right now actually for the first time in maybe a month or so). It's an album that may not have done much out of the ordinary but really is very very solid and just has great songs throughout. Obviously it won't appeal to everybody, but to those it does appeal to, I think it'll have a lot of staying power.

@Darkes: You can if you like, though you shouldn't feel any obligation to lower your ratings. I most have higher ratings, some people have more than I do, and some have very few. If you think a song deserves 10/10, give it 10/10.

If you only change a handful then can you just post the changes here? If it's most songs then I'll just re-add your whole thing.
I changed plenty of songs, the changes weren't big but I feel it's much more accurate now - before the ratings kind of "melted together" too much, now I feel they're better. I hope it's not too much work?

Overall I see I'm pretty light in my ratings, as there are very few songs falling under 6/10, but well... I feel I like all the albums for a reason. :P

As for the average ratings, they turned out to be pretty accurate... except for Awake and Octavarium being lower than they should be (in case of Awake 11 songs has an influence, I guess).
1. Scenes From a Memory - 8.875
2. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence - 8.75
3. Systematic Chaos - 8.5
4. Black Clouds & Silver Linings - 8.417
5. Awake - 8.318
6. Train of Thought - 8.143
7. Octavarium - 8.063
8. Images & Words - 7.75
9. Falling Into Infinity - 7.5
10. When Dream and Day Unite - 5.75

Nah wasn't too much trouble. Although I noticed you lowered some great songs from a 10 to a 9.5 (like TGP) but kept songs like Regression and Vacant as 10s! :lol

Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.

Cole: "Well you know when you try to scratch your balls, and you scratch too hard?
I'll admit sometimes I want to listen to Dragonforce.

I did, because I decided that they've lost their "absolutely the best" status over time, but I still find them excellent. Regression and Vacant are permanently awesome. I kept 10/10 rating only for the songs I felt they deserve absolutely nothing less and are strictly my favourites. 9.5 is for those very close behind. Regression is a special case, which I explained in the thread below.

I might eventually do my ranking for the song ranking thread, but it will be extremely difficult and will take a lot of work. Although I think you can already see the pattern in my ratings showing what I like and what I dislike.
