Questions
- How does the The Temptations album ranker work?
- You see two The Temptations records at a time and pick the one you rate higher. It opens with 12 albums switched on, which takes about 33 picks; keep all 24 in and it is about 89. It never asks you a question it can already work out: once you have put one record above another, it uses that everywhere it applies.
- Why compare two albums instead of giving each one a score?
- Scores drift. Most people bunch everything they like into the top of a five-star scale, and a four you gave three years ago rarely means what a four means to you today. A choice between two records asks the same question every time, so the order that comes out is sharper than the one your ratings imply.
- Do I need an account?
- Not to rank. The sorting happens in your browser and nothing is stored while you play. A free account is what lets you keep the finished ranking as a list on your profile, where other people can read it, like it and fork it.
- Which The Temptations releases are included?
- Full-length studio albums with artwork, canonical pressings only. Singles, EPs and the deluxe or remastered editions of a record already in the list are left out, so you are not asked to choose between two versions of the same album.
