A+ // A record that approaches perfection. // 100-96%

A // A great record with only a couple weaker tracks. // 95-91%

A- // A great record that is either over-produced, micro-marketed or just missing something to get rid of that minus. // 90-86%

B+ // A very good record that sometimes flirts with the half-assed. // 85-81%

* // Honorable Mention. For those who like its over-riding aesthetic. // 76-75%

B- // Has a fair few good tracks but is either too long, too repetitive, or just plain too much of something at times. // 75-71%

C+ // A hackwork kind of record. Pick and choose your favorites. // 70-66%

C // Professional record with seemingly no substance OR a decent try at something different. Often corny. // 65-60%

C- // Honest work that doesn't quite cut it. Also often quite corny. // 59-50%

✂️ // 1 or 2 good songs could be cut out and added to a greatest hits album. // 49-45%

💣 // A grade of D, E or F lands a "dud". It fails in every way. // 44-0%
