The good news is I think my code finally works better and I've cut out the worst corner cases
The bad news is I'm still seeing a lot of false alarms due to old data and dubious database entries
Now I just have to verify 400+ bands by hand 😭

And another one! This guy both was on his first release and wasn't. I guess I can't trust artist's manually entered role specific timelines?

I was trying to avoid using the lineup on first release because of some of them having no data. Instead compared year of first release and listed start year. I might have to sift it by hand 😭

Oh geeze, on top code bugs, it looks like there are straight up database errors too.
This guy is listed as a member on a first release playing drums, but then is listed as having started later?

He's a band on metal archives
However, I see that this inclusion is an error. My calc has a little trouble with members that have multiple roles with no timelines. He's got one role with a timeline, obviously the rest have been from the start.

I feel like market saturation and the rise in streaming are to blame. The incentive to innovate just isn't there and things are getting washed out by the shear numbers of things

A reasonable argument for which I have no final opinion. However, my bigger question is would you include the album in a ranking of Slayer albums, or dismiss it as separate because it's a cover album?

Yes and no. Songs written by Hanneman, but from his previous band Pap Smear. Considered covers on MA as well.
