Also on this subject, allmusic for example gives many albums 5 stars, but does that mean they are utterly perfect? I myself have given several albums the big 10/10 in my journal because I feel that's what they deserve given their appreciation, my enjoyment and the relative "worth" of the album.
Agreed. Kid A would probably be my favorite album of all time and certainly a 10/10 in my eyes, but I could go on and on about how 'Optimistic' has no business being on the album or how the ambient tracks drag on a bit.
