The fact is that these codecs do achieve a average bitrate of 128 Kbps

Pure nonscience.

if the average for the tracks is 128kbit, the avergae for the album is 128kbit and vice-versa

if you have some exceptionally hard to encode tracks it doesnt mean the other tracks should suffer in the comparison just to make it fair. and thats going to be different for ever album anyway.

either compare all at the same average bitrate for a given piece, or dont bother at all.
