100- in a word, perfection, MUST BUY!
90-99- amazing, BUY IT!
80-89- great, BUY IT!
70-79- good, but buy it at slightly reduced price
60-69- mediocre, buy at reduced price
50-59- approaching bad, don't shell out too much cash
40-49- your album officially sucks, not even worth the wax or plastic it's etched on
30-39- shit album with one or two good tracks, not even worth one's time
20-29- a few seconds of redemption here and there, but overall far beyond any rational hope, AVOID! AVOID!
10-19- Approaching absolute AWFUL
0-9- absolute toilet fodder that was a waste of time for the musicians, studio, and record label
Favorite genres in order of preference: old school death, melodic death, doom (all varieties of doom metal are equal in my eyes), sludge, power, thrash, crossover thrash, traditional/speed/NWOBHM, black (preferably first wave/blackened thrash, melodic, and depressive/ambient), and brutal death
Favorite non-metal genres: punk, 80's hardcore, grind, crust, powerviolence, blues, jazz, classic rock, progressive rock, and Baroque and Romantic-era classical music
