Behind the Data

Music reviews are divided into three categories, albums, tracks, and reissues. For this project I focused only on album reviews for Pitchforks online publication from Jan 5, 1999 to Dec 12, 2021. Album reviews are given a rating from 0 to 10, specific to one decimal place. A low score is considered a "bad" album, and a high score is considered a "great"album. The data consists of 24,169 reviews that have been scraped and populated into a SQLite database. The database was downloaded from kaggle and was extracted and cleaned using python. Data visualizations were created using D3.
