Updated Rating Scale

100 - Personal favorites, most of which I have a real bond with or at least emotionally impacts me like no other; usually requires at least a few listens to qualify but it’s not like I actually follow that rule too often

95 - Pretty much like a 100 where I’m completely blown away, just without the extra listens, connections or enough of that wow factor that a 100 has

90 - Overall fantastic, but lacks either the OOMPH or consistency that a 95 has.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

80/85 - Loved overall, would most likely listen to at least some of the songs here again.

70/75 - Great, but probably won’t return to in most cases.

60/65 - Good, or at least tolerated enough to still consider it as such.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

50/55 - Decent, but usually either too uninteresting to leave much of an impact or way too inconsistent.

40/45 - Average, maybe a few decent songs but I probably don’t care in the slightest.

30/35 - Below Average, very forgettable or borders on bad but oftentimes just ends up being really boring.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

20/25 - Bad, but something I’ll probably just completely forget about anyway.

10/15 - Awful. 15 is for 2/10 albums (without scales) and 10 is for 1/10 albums.

1/5 - Literally the worst music ever made. A 1 in particular is fully equal to a 0 for the most part.

0 - Purely narcissism, hatred (towards the wrong shit) and bigotry. Not inherently worse than a 1 but has zero actual value as music in my eyes.

Albums I know or learn are plagiarized or generated with AI (post-2024) will not be rated. I refuse to actively pad out my stats.

Ratings ending in a 9 are albums I listened to a long time ago that I feel I especially need to relisten to in order to get a proper opinion. 89s especially are ones I expect to become a 90 or above after one.

Track ratings and whatever singles I rate will not follow this scale (although I still try to be strict with 0s).
