This is awesome: [url=http://www.furia.com/twas/twas0501tech.cgi]Critical Alignment ratings[/url] where they rank critics by how many other critics picked the albums on their list. Crazy statistics.
GLONO’s Johnny Loftus’ list was definitely unique: he’s #613 out of 793, compared for example to DeRo (#118) and Kot (#64) and even Pitchfork’s Schrieber(#133).
