Not necessary: here's how it works.

Spoiler for last explanation:
Fear Factor: Low (expectation is I will like this album)
Expectation Index: 0 in Green - this indicates I did indeed enjoy it.
1-4 in Green - this indicates I liked it but not as much as I had expected.
5-7 in Orange - really didn't like it as much as I had hoped
8- 10 in Red: Surprised, but I really hated it. Was a big letdown.

Fear Factor: Moderate (Orange; expectation is more on the side of not liking this album than liking it)
Expectation Index: 0 in Green - Was correct; did not like it at all
1-4 in Green: Wasn't quite as bad as expected
5-7 in Orange: Liked it much more than I thought I would
8-10 in Red: Surprised, but I really loved it.

Fear Factor: High (Red; expectation is that I will hate this album)
Expectation Index: same as Moderate really: Green scores means I was right; I really didn't like it at all, orange or red, it wasn't as bad/was a lot better than I had thought.

Hope that's clear; this is the last time I'm explaining this. In general, green scores show I was right in my initial assessment (good or bad), orange scores show I was somewhat off either way and red indicates I was totally wrong.

So if the Fear Factor was Low, and the EI was Green, I loved the album, Orange, I didn't like it as much as I had thought, Red, and I hated the album.

If the FF was Moderate (Orange) and the EI was Green, then I hated the album, Orange and I didn't hate it as much as I had thought and Red means I was completely wrong and I loved it.

If the FF was Red and the EI green, I hated the album, orange and I didn't hate it as much as I had thought and Red means I really got it wrong and actually loved it.
