A+ : Approaches perfection — rare, timeless, and near flawless. – 100
A : A great record with only a couple weak spots. – 95
A– : A great record that’s a little over-produced, over-marketed, or just missing a spark. – 90
B+ : A very good record that sometimes flirts with the half-assed. – 85
*** : Honorable Mention — objectively great, just not my thing. – 85
B : A solid, enjoyable record loved by fans; nothing groundbreaking, but worth your time. – 80
B– : Has its moments, but too long, repetitive, or overindulgent. – 75
C+ : Patchy but listenable — a few standouts keep it afloat. – 70
C : Competent but hollow, or a halfway-decent shot at something different. Often corny. – 65
C– : Honest effort that doesn’t quite land. Also often corny. – 60
✂️ : Cut-worthy — a few gems to save, the rest filler. – 55
D+ : Kind of bad, but hey, someone out there loves it. – 50
D : Bad, but strangely has reach. – 45
D– : Really bad, yet somehow people like it. – 40
F : Why does this exist? Who thought this was a good idea? – ≤35
