-------
"Dear diary, it's 2021 and I still don't get this new British post-punk/art punk revival movement bands hype."
(++ & --) = Serious doubts about raising/lowering to next/previous level
(+ & -) = Strong/weak, in that level
(Neutral) = Literal definition of that level
[Any rating that's not under 5 is good, it's just that my scale is made for "good" music, so 5 is just a good album with nothing really special catching my ears, and from there you go up until literal perfection (10) classic (9), outstanding (8), etc.]
Update: I still don't get Lingua Ignota, either.
