Rating system... 100 - Saved for a certain album that I think embodies metal completely.
90-99 - Pretty amazing, definitely worth buying
80-89 - Damn good, but has moments that lapse, or is otherwise inaccessible to most people.
70-79 - Pretty good, but has enough moments that suck to make you cringe a bit. Not necessariy worth creaming over.
60-69 - Inaccessible to those who are not die-hard fans, and definitely more than half suck-moments.
50-59 - Not worth buying, but still has a few moments worth mentioning.
25-49 - Why would you even listen to it? Maybe if you are a completist (as I attempt to be) but definitely not worth spinning more than once.
1-25 - Wretched piss-metal. Like Fear Factory!
0 - If I find a zero-worthy album, I'll buy it just so I can say "THERE'S THE WORST ALBUMEVER!"
