I was thinking just extreme outliers being discounted for statistical calculations. Like consider the formula where x = the number of album tracks:
x * ((X-1)/2)

So 14 * 6.5 = 91.

It would be 105 for 15+ tracks, 78 for 13 tracks, 66 for 12 tracks, 55 for 11, 45 for 10 tracks, 36 for 9 tracks, 28 for 8 tracks, and 21 for 7 tracks.

Based on this, it's only happened thrice (yes, once was your Dream Theater ranking; the others being Raetsel for Moby and someone named... Epyo?) but there have been several close calls. This may be a close call or it may not. We'll see how the data lines up.

As someone with "Stats" in your username, I'm sure you know about outliers which skew the average in ways that don't accurately represent consensus. Perhaps if an outlier is spotted, two calculations can be done for averages.

Anyway, second listen down. Good stuff. I'm starting to see how this is gonna end up but I gotta sort out the order within each tier. Will do that tomorrow.
