Do you guys go out of your way to listen to music you KNOW will be mediocre/shitty just to improve your curves?
I don't have a RYM account but if I did it would mostly be 3.5 and up, sometimes less, very rarely anything less than a 2. Not because I don't have standards, but because I won't download any music that is shitty.
I have 10,000+ songs in my collection by the way, and I'd say most of the music I have is great, too. Fuck you tryhards. Just listen to the music and don't let your god damn curve ruin it.

How? Is that a setting or something?

Just to add to this:
Normal curves are supposed to appear only if the sample is randomized. If the albums you listened to were obtained completely randomly, then yes, I would expect some clean, symmetric curves.
However, NOBODY listens to music like that. People download/listen to albums that interest them.
WHICH MEANS YOU GUYS ARE FUCKING BIASED WITH YOUR RESPONSES. UNLESS YOU ARE COMPLETELY RANDOMLY OBTAINING THE ALBUMS YOU LISTEN TO YOU ARE PURPOSEFULLY/SUBCONCIOUSLY GIVING THEM RATINGS THAT WILL MAKE YOUR CURVES LOOK BETTER
SO FUCK YOU GUYS YOU FUCKING PIECES OF SHIT. Probably giving great albums low scores to impress your online friends.
yes im fucking mad. fuck you guys.

Not everyone likes to stay in their little comfort zone of genres they love like you.
Some people like to try new things. This means they'll come across albums they don't much care for, but it also means they'll discover gems that they wouldn't have ever heard otherwise.

Most artists I like have albums I like and dislike. I listen to entire discographies.

what happens when you DO encounter an album/track that you really really dislike? you'd have no rating for that
