What's your methodology for ranking albums?

If it's Radiohead, it gets a 100. If it's anyone else, it maxes out at 90. If it's been rated by other people, it gets an automatic 10. I only like albums I heard first. Cept Radiohead. Sometimes, if I'm in the mood, I round to the average rating. So if an album is a avg of 62, I give it a 60. If the avg is 84, I give it a 85. This is actually how I rank methodically.

If I like an album better than another, I rank it higher.

EDIT: when it comes to scoring, if I like an album, I give it a 100

The only "detailed" methodology I have with rating in my current system is weighted averages. What makes a four star album? Well more than half of it probably are songs I loved and rated 4.0 or higher. Pretty simple.

I've essentially done away with rating albums. I deleted my ratings here a couple years ago with the intention of restarting from scratch, but I've since abandoned that plan. I just don't find it has much use to me. The thought of plodding through albums and putting a number to them lost its luster somewhere along the way.

This might be the main reason I don't have a chart at the moment. Every time I look at it or edit it, it still looks wrong.

For this project I've worked on I used this spreadsheet to help me keep track of stuff.

It did kind of bother me that I didn't know how to rank anything past 20, and having a number helped me rank something higher than another. It made it barely more logical. Call me an idiot for that, but whatever.

I realize that my scoring isn't scientific AT ALL. It totally is how I feel in the moment of stuff, etc. Totally subject to change.

It is WAY better than my gut feeling and/or I found my self changing some prejudices or rankings that "should" be instead of how I honestly/truly felt. So far I have been much more satisfied with my decade rankings.

How I get the score is I add up my score for each song and then average it out. Another BEA member gave me the idea to do the top 13 songs on a double album and sometimes that works out in my tastes favor and sometimes not.

I think 60 is kind of dislike/average/not terribly interesting and 100 is intellectually interesting as well as makes my heart sing.
