I rate on a 0.0-10.0 scale, but unlike a lot of people, I tend to reserve the upper and lower regions more exclusively. Basically it goes as follows:

Anything over a 6 I basically recommend to anyone. Anything over a 7 is good stuff (and upper 7s is getting really good). Anything over an 8 I consider an excellent album, and when you get to the upper 8s it's serious. Anything above 9 is even better. I don't give a whole lot of 9s really.

Anything between 5 and 6 is a decent album, but there's probably better stuff within the genre; however, fans of that style of music should probably check it out. These are not bad albums.

Under 5 is not really recommended. 4-5 is sketchy at best, but some may enjoy it within the genre. Anything lower...you get the point.

You haven't even made 15 posts yet and you're becoming one of my favorite staff members.

moved on? that's funny. i read the news just like everyone else. what's really funny is that i give a staff member a genuine compliment and you turn it around like i'm evil. just because i think you're a no-talent hack with a bloated ego doesn't make me a bad person, scotty. it makes me realistic.
