Rating System:
0.5 - An utter musical failure, one that never fails to give me a good laugh.
1.0 - A genuinely bad album. Not enjoyable at all and a total waste of time.
1.5 - A boring, unenjoyable album; one that has virtually no redeemable qualities and that I never listen to.
2.0 - A mediocre album; one that's not too bad, but also one that isn't really enjoyable.
2.5 - An average album. These albums have a fairly moderate balance of good and bad qualities.
3.0 - A decent album. A 3.0 is enjoyable, and it has more redeeming qualities than negative qualities.
3.5 - A truly exceptional album; one that's a genuinely pleasant listen and that I revisit on a semi-regular basis.
4.0 - A fantastic album; a gem. These albums are fairly rare, and they have hardly any flaws. They're usually among the best in their genre.
4.5 - A masterpiece. These albums have practically no flaws, affect me emotionally in a way that hardly any other music does, and I listen to them very regularly.
5.0 - An otherworldly experience; an album that transcends what music should be able to do and affects me on a profound level every time I listen to it.
