Who cares about the number of reviews? There's not even that many really reputable sources most of the 20+ reviews is fluff
7 reviews from ppl like Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Pitchfork etc>>>

But that's why it matters.  Based on the Metacritic scorecard, Pitchfork gave the album a 66%.  Entertainment Weekly gave it a 67%.

These "fluff" critics (which they're not) you're talking about.... if they were all included and say he had 5-8 more 60% reviews, his score would be much lower.  Which is why you can't compare it to albums with 30 reviews.

It's like showing someone a report card that's 4.0, but you only had 3 classes versus someone with a 3.8 who took 15 classes.

but you're basing this on the ASSUMPTION that the 5-8 more reviews would be in the 60% range. Clearly most of his 7 are positive or the average would already be much lower

I'm not really ASSUMING anything.  You're being defensive, and I'm providing logic and simple mathematics.  I'm just saying that it isn't fair to include it with albums that faced more of the judging panel.  That's like if one team had to win 1 game in the NBA Finals to win the Championship, but the other team had to win the best of 7. 

But nevermind.  You win.  Congrats on the 78% out of 100.

you were basing that point off of an ASSUMPTION
AND being defensive with weak logic but to make you look worse
The Super Bowl IS one game and much more prestigious and higher profile than the NBA Finals and their best of 7

OR a team can win 4 straight or 4 out of 7 they're still equal in the NBA finals
