I feel, though, that if the score system is so arbitrary and vague, essentially giving more credence to a particular record over another, then perhaps it shouldn't be used at all. By way of imagination, production value, sense of melody, etc, the Fake record is (I know, subjectivity...blah, blah, blah) the better record and so numbering it so that it's considered equal to albums reviewed previously with a similar or higher score is a bit misguided. I don't mean to slag the Convex release off completely (it's a decent techno release). Just trying to make the point. Fair enough.

Possibly taking different ideas into consideration. Maybe I wrote the Convex one with existing fans in mind a little much. Scores are vague anyway. We’re different contributors, mind.
