[RATE REMINDER] The Britpop rate is due in one week!

Hello everyone! This is your official reminder that the deadline for the Britpop rate is in one week. That'll be 16th May at 12am EST (though I'll be in bed then so you get a few hours leeway.) I am absolutely desperate to hear YOUR Britpop opinions!

The announcement post and link to submit your scores is here

Here's some fun facts and figures as it stands:

  • Number of (lovely) participants: 17
  • Average score: 7.522 (We all love Britpop!)
  • Average controversy score: 1.537
  • Highest controversy: 2.458 (we can go higher than that, I know we can)
  • Lowest controversy: 0.869
  • Only 4 0's so far, and they're all for different songs.
  • Bonus rate be poppin'

Rate reveal will begin on May 20th, probably around 2pm EST. How many times will we all read the word 'lads'? Have we forgiven Blur for [bullying Nardwuar?] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkNvk2MgiCc) Will the raunchy Different Class songs essentially turn the rate into a General Discussion thread? What aspect of the reveal will I inevitably screw up? All these questions AND MORE will be answered!

Come on you know LG x

Different Class deserves this, but Parklife will win it.

Like always, sorry Noel.

More songs on Parklife is likely to bring the average score down. 16 songs to Oasis and Pulp's 12 is going to hurt its chances. I expect Lot105 will get a pretty low score.

Parklife is my favourite of the three, but I'm too lazy to vote.

I absolutely adore Lot 105. Such a cheeky way to close an album, specially since it immediately follows This is a Low.

Gosh, I really love this record. It's all over the place yet so cohesive.
