Default Question Of Oppinion

My itunes has a rating scale. It's of stars, going from one to five. What do you think I should base my ratings of albums off of, specifically speaking? There can be more then five, because obviously it will vary from band to band. In example, I can't judge a band with no lyrics on their meaning. Feel free to also list a band as an example of what you mean.
Current ideas:
1-Quality of music
2-Meaning/depth
3-Originality

Base them off whether you like them and not what anyone else says you SHOULD like them by.

I would base it off how much I actually enjoy it.

I tried that but it's really hard to apply how much I like them to the five star system. I want something to go off of, like guidelines. I was just looking for what other people go off of so I can make my own style of judging.

If I rated all of my music I'd have to spend a lot of time so eff that. Judge it on a combination of criteria though, instead of just one thing.

I use the stars so I can tell if I've listened to something yet becuase I usually have a lot of new, unlistened to music on my itunes. It's also a good way to remember whether or not you like the album very much, if you haven't listened to it for a while. I really put no thought into it though, just sort of a first impression type thing.

I don't know, it looks nifty. It's not like something I want to spend a bunch of time figuring out. Let me rephrase the question: What does everyone else here look for in good music? What qualities about a song or album do you appreciate the most?
