~The Mysteries of maaaldoror's Rating Criteria Revealed~
5- Perfect in every way, usually has some sort of emotional connection.
4.5- Pretty much the same as a 5, but without the emotional connection.
4- Excellent, a few minor setbacks but nothing bad.
3.5- Worth hearing many times, one or two glaring flaws.
3- Mediocre, kind of don't feel strongly about it either way but I'll give it another listen.
2.5- Acceptable at best and disappointing at worst.
2- Boring, probably not worth hearing again.
1.5- Pretty bad, maybe one good thing.
1- Just terrible in every way.
0.5- Its terrible-ness reaches levels I never thought existed, may or may not be enjoyably bad.

In the words of my musician buds: The most musically-inclined non-musician ever.


While art/painting is my 'true calling' I'm also a gigantic music nerd and obsessive enough about it that the idea of cataloging/rating it is extremely appealing. Also it aides me in my secret plan to amass more internet indie-cred.
