Artists with better ratings that you expected?

Babymetal comes to mind. I honestly thought they would be pretty despised in this website, so i was shocked to see that their ratings surpassed 3 stars in all but one of their albums. I was also suprised seeing that they have a song above 4 stars

Artists you were surprised to find that they don't have any bolded album or have only one?

I'm mostly interested in the former but you can also suggest some that has only one (obviously I mean artists with many albums here).

For me these two:

Empyrium - I'm a big fan of neofolk and some of their records (actually three of them - A Winter Sunset..., Weiland, Where at Night the Wood Grouse Plays) always seemed to be for me like real stand-outs in the genre ... yet not a single one of Empyrium is bolded. My favourite album is Where at Night the Wood Grouse Plays from 1999, a very touching one and it's pure neofolk/dark folk - not doom metal mixed with neofolk like some other ones. Songs of Moors and Misty Fields is their highest ranked one #177 for 1997.

Russian Circles - post-rock/post-metal band

Highest ranked album is Station from 2008 #253

does RYM plan to add a books section at some point soon?

I’ve started using RYM this year and I’ve really grown to love the general taste of the user base. It has made me listen to many songs and especially made me watch many films I hadn’t even heard about before, and found most pod them freak or at least fascinating, I would love to see books on the site too
