Thanks Marie, that's kind of you.
In fact, I was worried about how low my rating was, almost at Trollheart levels ( ![]() 5 = midpoint - not good, not bad above 5 = graded quite generously, jumping fast through the numbers so many albums get a decent score below five = graded on a slower-moving scale, so that it has to be really bad to get a low score At this rate, I'll soon be turning album-grading into a science, not some haphazard subjective nonsense! Soon, we'll all be able to measure albums precisely, just like we measure a piece of wood.

My ratings would go something like this...
10- Absolute Classic and if anyone disagrees... ![]() 9- Near classic. Possibly the best thing I've heard in ages 8- Not perfect but very good album nonetheless 7- Good album. Not a classic but something to enjoy 6- Fair. Listenable, maybe a little above average but only a little 5- Definitely average 4- Below average 3- Really below average. Are you guys actually making me listen to this? 2- Now this album kind of sucks. Target practice anybody? 1- This album really sucks. This rates with the worst of Paul Anka! So nobody better give me a 1 album, or else... ![]() |

![]() ![]() That's a good system, rubber soul. I might even copy it for my own use.

I rate as follows (distinguishing between how much I like it and how good I think it is because there can be a difference):
10. Unassailable 9. Love it and will keep listening to/brilliant, special album 8. Like it a lot and will listen to (part of it) again probably/good album 7. Album is pretty good: competent but not really special or flawed but charming/I quite like it 6. Album is meh/I feel indifferent 5. Mostly meh but some negative things stick out 4. A bad album: dull or incompetent/listening to it irks me 3. A very bad album/I feel strong resistance to listening to this 2. A trainwreck/can barely bring myself to listen to it 1. An abyss of ugliness

Some good descriptors there, Marie - from Occult-Hawk Worthy on down.
(*checks to see if you have ranked any of my nominations "an abyss of ugliness" ![]()

Oh I would never give a 1 or 10 except in very special cases. Certainly not a 1
The way I'm grading this is basically the 1-10 grading system I'm used to from school
