Caught By the River is a beautiful site and everyone should read it.

Hell, I should read it more fully than I do (usually I just flick through the weekly email updates).

Often I'll read a review that's almost entirely positive, but an album will have a 6.9 or 7.3.

Also does anyone know how their stupid Best New Music thing works? I can't figure it out. It usually goes to albums that get 8.0>, right? So why does it seem arbitrary? I keep seeing 8.1s and 8.4s but no BNM.

I've thought about this a lot, and came to the conclusion that what makes sense is the one reviewer reviews it and gives it a score, and then if it's pretty good (8 or higher or whatever) they maybe ask the other reviewers to listen to it and then they agree on if it's BNM-worthy or not.  At least this is what I would do.
