The NY Times on "Best Of the Year" lists

"...Few critics know that better than the ones at Pitchfork, the influential indie-rock Web site, which published a year-end list as carefully compiled as a D.J. set, with the indie singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens in the top album slot. The Pitchfork list is a group effort, and since the site's CD reviews come with numerical ratings assigned by the writer, from 0.0 to 10.0, it's hard to ignore the discrepancies. For example, Wolf Parade, a band whose album was awarded 9.2, ranks behind LCD Soundsystem, which earned only 8.2...." [NY Times]

I think the rating Pitchfork gives a band is one person's opinion right? The overall ranking is probably a vote by all their crits. Anyone happen to know if that's the case?
