What do the figures for the sound of The Wall mean?
They come from an acoustic analysis of the recordings as they are on Spotify: per track a score for energy, danceability, mood and acoustic, shown here on a scale of 0 to 10 and rounded to halves, plus the tempo in beats per minute and the key. They are the outcome of a model, not a measurement of the music itself; 9 out of 10 for acoustic means the model is fairly sure that mostly acoustic instruments are heard. The sound of the album is the average of its tracks, each track counting equally, and the comparison is with the average of all analysed tracks in the collection.
How do you play The Wall?
