Top 57 Greatest Music Albums
by Shiebs17 Unknown

I rate all albums on this chart out of 5. I take each song into account. If all of the songs on an album are top tier, I will give the album a 5 (that is why there is no "least favorite song" for 5's). This means any track, even if it is above average, can be a detriment to the album. I feel this is the best way to express my feelings for a record as a whole. Usually I do not take intros, interludes, or hidden tracks into account for a rating. It may seem like I have a lot of 5's on here (which I do) but that is because they all are personally close to me and I believe, due to my musical preferences, that they all deserve the 5/5 rating.

The album cover is just another great feature for me. It does not necessarily add to my score out of 5 for an album, but I like to show how I think of it.
