This is the same way I scored this month.mehum wrote:Well, I look at it another way and (currently) see the scores as relative rather than absolute.
One reason is that it maximizes the impact of my vote which seems more fair to the ones I put on top scores. Utilizing the full spectrum also guards slightly against strategic voting.

So, the 1's I give this month should not be seen as "this track is terrible " but rather "these were my least favorites this month".
I've listened to each track at least a couple of times. After initial voting, I've noticed that my scores strongly deviated towards upper scores. So I had to relisten and adjust the scores the second time around. That means I had to reduce the score for some tracks. Now they are spread more evenly.
Since that also means I've put a few tracks in the "1" category, I don't want you to think that I think these tracks were horrible. Especially considering how not friendly this month's synth was. I've tried to explain on each track in the soundcloud comments what I've found interesting or found lacking.
