How Do You Tend To Rate Albums?

Dingerbell · 2013-05-05T07:00:17-04:00

I know you can have 10/10, 100/100 etc. but that's not what I'm talking about. What I mean is how do you all give albums a score out of 100 on this site? For me, there is a general criteria I tend to give for albums, which can be summarised by a one word description that's written first: The factors for my rating of an album, in order of importance: Number of songs not enjoyable. Number of songs that are great (above 80, rated similarly to album rating). Flow. Do I need to be in a specific mood to listen? Length (eg. too long/short). 100- Perfect. All of the above. 90- Incredible. One of the above factors missing. 80- Great. Two factors missing. 70- Very Good. Three factors missing. 60- Good. Four factors missing. 50- Average. Some factors done to some extent. 40- Quite Bad. Maybe a couple of songs liked. 30- Bad. Maybe one song liked. 20- Terrible. Maybe one slightly redeeming factor (eg. a good guitar solo). 10- Horrendous. Nothing good. 0- Utter Garbage. Torture to listen to. Although, I don't think I would ever give an album this rating. Although it's not really set in stone, and it obviously differs between genres. As you can probably tell by this I am a very harsh marker of albums- albums that get 70 out of 100 get into my chart. That's because these albums are compared, relatively, to my top two albums, which are rated 100 and 99.6/7 respectively. I've only rated my top five albums 100, as they are rounded up to 100, and then 6-14 on my chart are 95. However, I feel like this is a good way to show my tastes in music, because it shows to what extent I enjoy a certain album very clearly. Anyway, how about you?

I rate them with my best interests in mind. Everything with a 70 or above are my favorites. I still listen to some of the below.
