My Scoring System

I rate albums on a score of 0 through 10 with 10/10 being a perfect score. If I think an album is almost a 9/10, for example, I will still give it an 8/10 but specify that it is close to a 9/10. The score I give an album is based on my personal enjoyment of the album, I will give reasons of why I think it deserved the score I gave it, but this all based on personal opinion. I do not try to objectively rate albums.

10/10- Masterpiece. Albums with this score are what I consider to be the greatest pieces of music of all time. These albums are masterclasses in artistic expression.

9/10- Fantastic. Albums with this score have very little flaws. These albums execute they’re goals exceptionally well.

8/10- Amazing. I hold albums with this score in high regard. These albums usually excel in a few different aspects and are usually only held back by one or two specific areas.

7/10- Great. Albums with this score tend to have amazing high points that brought down by obvious low points.

6/10- Good. Albums with this score only have a couple areas that are standout. These albums are usually dragged down by a weak track or two.

5/10- Meh. This is an exact middle ground. Albums with this score are not good or bad, they’re just… there.

4/10- Not Great. Albums in this category can have some good parts here or there, but they are surrounded by uninteresting and undesirable music.

3/10- Bad. Albums with this score have very little that is even remotely interesting.

2/10- Awful. Albums with score have almost no redeeming qualities. Most of these albums I would consider my least favorites of all time.

1/10- Unimaginably bad. Albums with this score have nothing that would warrant a good listening experience. Far below average in all aspects. I like to laugh at these albums.

0/10- Unlistenable. I can’t even comprehend how anyone would enjoy these albums.
