I like a lot and I will give anything a shot at least once, but not necessarily a fair shot. I like to have my prejudgments proven wrong and I like to experiment and find art where others can't.

Quirks of my rating system: Upon first listen, the highest rating an album can receive is 3.5 stars. Each subsequent listen can (potentially) increase the album by .5 stars to a maximum of 4.5 stars - a perfect album. The 5 star rating is reserved not necessarily for the best albums, but for those albums which have spoken to me in a way which changed my perception of the world, myself, other people, life, or any combination of those things.
