Well, that's something to bear in mind. More often than not though, if you're approaching a discography with absolutely no knowledge of what the best albums are, you'll be off to a decent start with what they recommend you. Even if there aren't exactly a lot of ratings to go by, it's good to have some idea, no matter how odd it may seem once you know your way around that artist a bit more. I find LastFM's popularity hierarchies for each artist are a good way of going about this too.
