FLRTE <=> Flames Licking Round The Engine

Just a short calculation: if you listen to an album per day for 50 years you'll end up with 18 250 albums you would be able to rate here. Now, do you think a day is enough to fully appreciate a work of art? I don't think so, that's why I despise users with "100 000+" ratings. I think they just try to get recognition through numbers but all they're doing is distorting the pieces of informaton this great website can provide.

I tend to listen to about 100 albums a year, I guess it may vary to 150 a year. I have about 5 or 6 albums I'm digging at once. If I ''finish'' 2 of these every week, it means I listen to an album for about 3 weeks in average. That sounds fair. (though it may take several months for some and a couple of days for others)

I'd say my ratings are reliable in the sense that it really represents my relation with different works. Because, yeah, I think tastes in music corresponds to relations we build with it - and relations need time.
