As such, the top 27 scoring reviews of 2017 are either classic, or reissues. They also review albums that have been re-issued, and if an album is being re-issued it's because it was once popular or a cultural touchpoint, and still has commercial value. Pitchfork publishes a number of "classic" reviews, where they go back in time and review a pivotal or important record from the past. If a reviewer is covering a record from an artist they don't traditionally enjoy, simply because that record is popular. If a reviewer were to only review albums from artists they like, reviews scores would naturally remain high and consistent.

Because these genres aren't a priority, and don't command as much attention as Rock, Rap, Pop and R&B, reviewers are free to pick and choose what they want to review, naturally gravitating towards artists and groups they like and are familiar with. It's possible that less popular genres in North America, such as Jazz and Global, release fewer relevant (with regards to Pitchfork's audience) records during the year. Why do Jazz and Global have lower standard deviations? Jazz was the most consistent of 2017, while Metal was the most erratic. A higher standard deviation indicates more varied review scores. The standard deviation gives an idea of how scattered the reviews are around the average. Standard Deviation (Variance in Review Scores) The temptation is to assume genre's with less total reviews would secure a higher average score, but Experimental, which accounted for 11% of the total reviews, came third, at 74.96, well above Metal, which had just 5% of the total reviews of 2017. Rap ran dead last, with the average Rap review scoring 71.23/100. Jazz experienced the highest average review of the year, with 79.91/100. Just 10% of Pitchfork's 2017 reviews were Pop/R&B. The Electronic classification came second with 19%, Rap third with 14%, and surprisingly, Pop/R&B actually came fifth, behind Experimental. Rock dominated 2017, with 385 reviews out of 1169, which is a third. This infographic firstly (top left) show the amount of reviews per-genre.
