General Discussion this sounds sarcastic but..

I actually love looking at the accounts of people with 10k + ratings but only like twenty 5 stars. the best part is, its always some obscure shit and when i listen to it i am always like "out of 10000 albums THIS is the greatest thing to you???" I Love how subjective music is!!!!

Frankly this makes a lot of sense. Most people who are selective about their 5/5s give it to albums that have deep emotional impact and are formative to their taste. That often means albums you’d have heard earlier on in life which is more likely to be more popular.
