Quality IS opinion based. There are no set standards for quality, like "x amount of instruments * x song length * x time of vocals" or something.
And actually from what I read people tend to NOT like her more poppy songs. glitter, fairyland and BLUE BIRD are pretty hated around here. At least when glitter came around everyone was all omg not ANOTHER one. :p And I am... is old but still ranked very high.

anyway, recent albums or songs always do better in polls because they are fresh in the minds of voters. it's called recency effect.

Make what fact? I was saying that it's fact that a lot more people 'round here like (m)u more than Duty, to someone who said that her quality kept going down or something (heck, I even forgot what the initial post was about lol it's that unimportant

).
As for the recency effect, m(u) is too old for that effect still, really. You'll have to look at GUILTY~NEXT LEVEL for that. MA and I am... both ranked very high, and those are way old.
