Why has there not been a single album with a rating over 4.0 on RYM for the past decade? Has music just gotten worse over time?
>>60979331
Because the people rating those albums didn't think that they deserved anything higher?

>Has music just gotten worse over time?
yes, compare Scaruffi's ratings for the 60s/70s/80s/90s to his ratings for the 00s/10s and you will see what I mean

1 Because they didn't get a classic status yet
2 RYM doesn't fall for hype as easily as MAL or IMDb
3 Because of downraters
RYM users have an obvious bias toward older music.
in 20 years those aren't the albums people are going to remember, more obscure, better stuff is going to get popular
Because "classics" are rated higher by pretty much everyone. I'm not saying this about everyone doing the rating but you have to think that quite a few people will just rate shit held in high regard high just because of that. There are also reactionaries that will rate down well received albums just because.
General rule of thumb is take off 0.05 for every decade in the past it was released
And a flat -0.3 if it was made by Radiohead

1. is the most relevant bit here. It's hard to pick which albums are going to influence the future of music as much as the classics, or which albums are super groundbreaking compared to what comes in the future.
It's impossible to tell how much influence an album will have without much perspective, and people often rate albums based on influence. The Velvet Underground and Nico is now unanimously praised for being the progenitor of many future subgenres within rock music. At the time of course, pretty much nobody liked it except for Iggy Pop.

The original composition was written and recorded in the 1970s, dumbass.
Also 30 reviews is not a legitimate sample size

>Why has there not been a single album with a rating over 4.0 on RYM for the past decade? Has music just gotten worse over time?
People discuss this question all the time on rym.
One of the proposed answers are:
1-Todays albums are more likely to be shovered into someone face than old albums, and so people discover new albums they hate without actually searching for them and rate it with small score.
2-more people check (insert year we are at, at the moment here) chart, than check an random old specific year chart. So they check current year chart and listen to stuff there, stuff they hate but yet "forced themselfs" to listen.
