I listen to new music and music new to me more often than music from the past. Most of the albums I rate are 3.0 to 4.5. I don't dissect songs, critique lyrics or look for prophets and epiphany. My rating is a gut measure of how much I like listening to something. I only rate albums that I have listened to several times. There are lots of albums I don't listen to enough to rate. I moved from White Rock, BC to Toronto in April 2015.
