Yeah, I played around with the meter and it can give strange results (although most of the time, it was in line with my expectations). Korean Guilty Gear XX only registered an average of 8 and I KNOW that album sounds amazing (Ishiwatari's XX was a 7, which is pretty generous! And Black Mages 1 and 2 were around 5-6). And that Chrono Cross rating is goofy, way too low for that album I think. I did see the Tsugunai ratings though.
On the other hand, it gave Mighty Obstacle (my prime example of a poorly produced track) a 3 and Mighty Switch Force an album average of 4, so it does seem to be pretty spot on at times. Most early 90's VGM albums, it's giving a healthy 11-14 reading. And it loved those Grandia I tracks. I think that and Falcom Special Box 89 were the ones I got it to register the highest.
