A friendly advice for browsing my profile: my rating system skews much lower than the average on RYM.

I consider a 2.0 to be an average album, or one I'm too unfamiliar with to rank more strongly.

2.5 and 3.0 albums I consider good but flawed in some way. A 2.5 has a major flaw that likely has me listening to singles only, and 3.0 I will probably listen all the way through, but I won't listen to it often. Some more recently ranked 2.5s may just be unfamiliar yet, and will rise on repeated listens. I don't like to jump the gun on a high ranking. Gots to be earned!

Anything 3.5 or above I consider to be a "favorite," and will typically show up on my comprehensive decade lists. Lower than a 2.0 is rare, since when I listen to or acquire new music it's likely something I'm going to enjoy. But it happens.
