The first number in each entry is a bias score, derived from the assigned ratings on a curve desgined to reward both individual reviewer enthusiasm and collective
critical attention. For releases, each rating counts; for bands, release ratings are aggregated by reviewer first.
The second number is the number of reviewers who rated that band or release. A release needs at least 4 ratings to qualify; a band needs ratings
from at least 20 different reviewers.
