Hahaha! On that note, our Wikipedia page looks good: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OverClocked_ReMix
I'm always open to suggestions on improving it. :-)

It seems that OverClocked Remix's albums are among the lowest rated here. I'm quite surprised given they're usually pretty good in my opinion and a lot of OC Remix members attend the site. Any theories why it is?

It's due to the relatively low number of vote samples. I just bumped the minimum vote count to 10, which should give a better overview.
....and the lowest rated albums are still over 5/10, so they aren't exactly "bad". It's just we don't have enough votes yet in the system to properly distinguish between genuinely awful and so-so. |

I personally think Overclocked Remix albums are pretty hit-or-miss. But I really value their most impressive contributions. There are some fantastic remixes in Voices of the Lifestream, Thieves of Fate and Summoning of Spirits! |

if people aren't happy with how high/low something is rated they can always do something about it :P lots of people here aren't currently rating stuff. myself, i make a point to rate anything i listen to, though it is mostly from the perspective that it might help me meet people with similar preferences.
no idea why the OCR albums are related so low. some have a fair number of votes too, like this, so you would expect them to be higher. i have to admit, i haven't rated one higher than a 2, but they really should have higher averages considering their general popularity. i'm anticipating an ocremix "sign up on VGMdb and 5-star all our albums" initiative.

While they're at it maybe they could try rating the rest of the album entries too =)

I haven't rated any of the OCR albums, barely any albums at all in fact, but in general the OCR albums are a miss for me. There might be one or two good tracks in an album, but that's not a lot from the total amount of tracks.
Though this can also be said on any other fanmade remix album. Bound Together (the Earthbound one) is the only one I actually like, rest are kind of meh.

I think most OCR albums are mediocre. The only ones that really stand out to me are Project Chaos and SF2 HD Remix. Relics of the Chozo stood out to me when it first came out because it was the first of its kind, but now it sounds a bit dated.
Of course Dirge for the Follin will be the greatest album to have ever graced the site.

In terms of bias, my only major concern was that influx of 0.5 ratings for Koichi Sugiyama albums, many of them so rare that the person who rated them probably never listened. But I guess it's not worth taking seriously and an attempt to moderate them could be viewed as biased in itself. Quote:

So you're suggesting that ratings be calculated by assigning a weight to each individual vote based on the voter's overall rating distribution? I guess I'll consult the algorithms from other sites that do this.

Kind of like that, yes. And I honestly haven't seen any site openly doing such yet, good luck finding one. =/
[edit] Looking around Weighted Bayesian Rating seems to be a little into the direction I like, but as I understand it for the weighting it's taking into account the number of a user's votes instead the user's average rating deviation from 2.75. Will keep looking. Last edited by Datschge; Aug 25, 2009 at 12:32 PM. |

Actually vndb.org does something like this with their "popularity" metric. I'll consult Yorhel about it.

That's great. =) Let us know how this goes (in a more adequate thread maybe). Thanks for looking into it!

While I generally think that variety is good, I find that the variety of different styles is the problem with remix albums. I would love it if for once there would be themed albums around musical genres. Another thing that would be awesome, would be remix albums themed around locations or elements or whatever. Like, Ice Album or something, which would naturally have icey and cold music remixed from various different games. Or a Forest Album. Things of that nature. Kind of like Dwelling of Duels do some of their themed months.

I hope that one day there will be a remix of Kingdom Hearts music, it would be really interesting to see what styles are chosen.

What is "the box" that people are supposed to think outside of anyway? Hmm. Maybe it's similar to the Borg from Star Trek who dwelled as a collective hive-mind within a...box/cube. Those that deviated from this hive-mind would, in effect, be thinking outside of the box. it has both a figurative and a literal meaning. |
