What would you describe each of your star ratings as being? For me:
0.5: Nothing redeemable or a joke album, CD serves better use as a coaster then for music. 1.0: Nothing close to representing listenability, or a very poorly constructed piece of work. 1.5: Not unredeemable, but will seldom be revisited, if ever. 2.0: Niche, probably fans only, but even then, probably pretty mediocre. 2.5: Divided opinion. Has some good, some bad, but decent overall. 3.0: Decent stuff, may revisit now and then. 3.5: A solid, enjoyable listen. Probably give it a spin monthly. 4.0: Excellent work, seldom a dull moment and well worth anyones time. 4.5: Close to the best, a few minor flaws withstanding. Innovative and unique. 5.0: Cream of the crop, masterpiece, magnum opus of audial ectasy. Genius from beginning to end. And yours? |

5.0 - Absolute masterpiece and one of the greatest albums of its genre. 4.5 - Nearly perfect album that leaves me stunned every time I hear it. 4.0 - Great album that may be lacking in originality or consistency, but still excellent. 3.5 - Above average. Nothing essential, but worth hearing for fans of the respective genre. 3.0 - Average. While it's nothing special, the performances are solid and the songwriting is decent. 2.5 - A mediocre album that's plagued with a severe flaw or two. 2.0 - Not recommended except for die-hard fans. 1.5 - Apart from one or two redeeming qualities, this is pretty awful. 1.0 - A terrible album with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. 0.5 - Emmure. Of course, where I place an album is largely subjective, but I try to stick with this general guideline.  ------------- Check out my YouTube channel! http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime |

Mine are generous. 5 - Good. Its good in general. 4 - Good. It is good for what it is. 3 - Good, I like it, but I can see its not good enough to get a higher rating. 2 - Bad. Its not merit-less but I just don't like it. 1 - There's some actual fault with it or its unauthorized. -------------  My Blog: http://kingcrimsonprog.wordpress.com/ |

Oh and .5s between each are 'I want to give it a higher rating, but don't want to get criticized for being too generous.'  ------------- My Blog: http://kingcrimsonprog.wordpress.com/ |
