My rating scale is more harsh than most.
0-10 It's existence is a crime against humanity
11-20 Nothing of value, but just not as painful as the last bracket
21-30 Remotest of redeeming values
31-40 I question why they bother making music, but I don't hate them
41-50 Bad, but not terrible
51-60 The bare minimum for passable (this is "average" for me)
61-70 Some redeeming qualities and probably some good tracks
71-80 A legitimately good album
81-90 A great album
91-94 A classic album
95-99 A life-changing album
I've been reviewing on this account for over 10 years now, and my tastes have changed, and my opinions on individual albums have shifted here and there. I am going to revisit some reviews, but inconsistencies will remain.

Shoutout to the moderators/review submission process whereby I can have a review rejected where I describe the style, the playing of each member, and break down numerous tracks yet I "didn't describe the music" enough, but there are half a dozen reviews on Megadeth's Dystopia bashing it for nothing more than disagreeing with it's political views. Way to keep things consistent.
