Really? 100%? What a mediocre and overblown review.

If you truly don't care what people think, why do you feel inclined to write reviews in the first place? They are written to be seen aren't they? But your fandom is besides the point...

The fact that you're a staff writer for this site shreds any sense of credibility that they otherwise have. How come you're the only staff writer handing out 100%'s? I've seen Jason review albums he LOVES and not give out 10/10. You know why? because he cares about the credibility of his site and understands objectivity. It's not a hard concept. Just step back from your bias and review the album as a listener, not a fan.

Gotta back this.

To be fair though, it's not 100%, it's 10/10. And why use a scale up to 10 if an album can't be better than 9/10? Seems kind of cynical.

no one bitches when albums get 5 stars or a 10/10 on other websites. an 100% is just a larger way of saying 5 stars or 10/10.

Anyways, extremely pumped for this. i also bought 2 vinyls accidentally. who wants one?

Can't 100% mean its just a phenomenal record? Doesn't exactly mean it is flawless.

Pretty much how it should be taken - why have a 10-point scale if nothing can reach 10? Should just make everything out of 9.5 from now on.

Then people would bitch when you gave something a 9.5.

Wait...is Thomas the same guy who gave 100% to Bon Iver?

ME!

How much?

I personally believe that every person out there should have one and only one album to them that is 100%. It's this 100% piece of work that we compare and hold others to. There can't be more than one 100% in each persons eyes because obviously the person would like one record slightly more than the other. When I review albums they usually never come close to 100% but I have given an album a 100% and probably never will again unless that album surpasses it. But music is subjective so why not let people score things the way they want to. My only issue with the score is that now I feel like it is over hyped and won't live up to how the reviewer described it. however, he/she is subject to their opinion. I'm sure it'll be a solid B+ album.
