Many will probably disagree with me, but I think treating art like science is a good thing. Trying to understand the nature of making and reacting to art, is to understand how the human mind works.

I'm psyched.

IMO trends are changing too fast now a days to keep up with a "scientific" formula for making a hit. But I do applaud their efforts.

their efforts are based on subjectivity. How danceable ? How harmonically complex ? Fluff.

Well, that's a disappointing downer. To be frank, I was actually a bit puzzled over their measuring methods as well. :(

There will always be scientific formulas for making music but where is the fun in following a pre determined structure?
