I think that your votes count more towards the album "Popularity" rating the closer they are to a normal distribution.

My votes are heavilly skewed towards 4 and 5, because I don't usually bother listening to music I don't consider good. I consider a 3 to be mediocre, music towards which I am indifferent. I consider a 1 or a 2 to be music that repels me, or is at least inferior. I'd stop listening to those albums after sampling a few tracks, so I rarely rate them.

This rating scale is quite different than the one Carl is using, where a 2.5 represents average listenable music. I'll give some consideration to changing mine.
