Which album has the most reviews on JMA?

To begin, this is not a vital question, more something to satisfy my curiosity, so I'm curious if anyone happens to know the answer.

I wondered which album(s) had the highest number of reviews? I know that our top 3 albums (at the mo) have around 5 reviews each, but also around 20-50 ratings each. Conversely, I've seen some of the Fusion albums have a few more than 5 reviews with similar ratings.

Of course, early days for the site and so the numbers above make sense, but I did wonder which album had the most reviews. I'm going to keep looking!

What John said

Ok, after some more browsing here's what I've found - I've mostly check artists/albums I thought might have a big number

Kind of Blue = 5 Reviews (51 Ratings)
In a Silent Way = 5 Reviews (35 Ratings)
Bitches Brew = 4 Reviews (36 Ratings)
Caravanserai = 6 Reviews (25 Ratings)
Love Devotion Surrender = 4 Reviews (12 Ratings)
Birds of Fire = 7 Reviews (36 Ratings)
Head Hunters = 6 Reviews (24 Ratings)
A Love Supreme = 2 Reviews (33 Ratings)
Red Clay = 1 Review (6 Ratings)
Monkey Jungle = 1 Review (7 Ratings)
Electric Ladyland = 2 Reviews (9 Ratings)
I Sing the Body Electric = 3 Reviews (15 Ratings)
The Shape of Jazz to Come = 0 Reviews (12 Ratings)
Koln Concert = 2 Reviews (17 Ratings)
Hot Rats = 2 Reviews (27 Ratings)
Apostrophe = 2 Reviews (19 Ratings)

I'm sure there's an album that's had ten reviews somewhere, but I can't find it yet. Keen to see it happen though!
I suppose there's really nothing to drawn from this in the way of conclusions that haven't already been drawn, but it's still interesting to me to see some of those results. Like the Reviews/Ratings ratios on some - like 'Kind of Blue' and 'Love Devotion Surrender' for instance.

Actually, what it does make me ask myself is, are some albums harder to review than others due to their 1) lack of reviews or 2) amount of reviews?  I know the biggest thing that's kept me getting to 100 reviews yet, is time. It takes time to write a review and there's so much to do.

If nothing else, this list has shown me some stellar albums I've yet to review.

Really awesome to be working on the site so early. I guess I like feeling useful hahaha!

No one should feel obligated to review any certain kind of music. 

A sketchy update - about 2 months and a bit later - again, more to satisfy my curiosity rather than to complete any serious survey.  As my data was taken from such a small pool in the first place, and this update is smaller yet, it's not of any real use, but it was fun to do.

An upturn in Ratings and Reviews for the classics


Kind of Blue = 6 Reviews (57 Ratings)                        + 1 and 6
In a Silent Way = 6 Reviews (38 Ratings)                    + 1 and 3
Caravanserai = 7 Reviews (30 Ratings)                        + 1 and 5
Birds of Fire = 7 Reviews (38 Ratings)                         + 0 and 0
Head Hunters = 6 Reviews (26 Ratings)                       + 0 and 2
A Love Supreme = 3 Reviews (38 Ratings)                    + 1 and 5
Red Clay = 2 Review (8 Ratings)                                 + 1 and 2
I Sing the Body Electric = 3 Reviews (16 Ratings)        + 0 and 1
Koln Concert = 2 Reviews (17 Ratings)                        + 0 and 0
Hot Rats = 4 Reviews (30 Ratings)                              + 2 and 3


What's probably a more interesting stat for the site, is the amount of reviews total, that are being written per week. I might try and calculate last week....

EDIT

30 Reviews in the last 7 days.  I like it.

Can do!...Actually, this will take a while. I've got to figure out an automated way of doing so.

At least 51 reviewed for 2011

Struggling to find a way to automatically figure out 2010, and I will have to check that review count on 2011 to be sure
