Rating Breakdown
100- These albums are those elite few that If I pulled an album randomly out of a bag and grabbed one, there wouldn't be a time of day or mood i'm in that I wouldn't want to listen to it. These are the cream of the crop folks. Highly recommended to anyone whose ears work, regardless of genre they like.

90-99- Like the above, but has that one nuisance holding it back from being a classic, possibly one song that doesn't completely work, or whatever. Still very recommended to all, but just not maybe the first thing i'd recommenc. All of the above is a 5 out of 5 in my book.

76-89- These albums are great fun, but have varying degrees of missteps or issues. Maybe a little filler? Or some songs sound too much alike? Or some songs drag on a bit? They fall in here. Recommended to fans of the band or genre. 4 out of 5.

51-75- Here's where things may start to stink a little. Good ideas, and maybe some good songwriting, but probably lacks originality, consistency, or structure. Also flaws mentioned in the above range to higher degree fall here. More filler found here overall too. Still good for fanboys, completionists and the like. 3 out of 5

31-50- Heres where boredom and pain thrive. I'm starting to struggle to find stuff to like. Get at your own risk. Completionists are probably the only one's who should consider. 2 out of 5

1-30- Now I'm getting sad. Stuff in this category doesn't just bore me, it frustrates me. No money should be spent on this crap, no matter how much you have. If you really need that hole in the collection filled, go ahead (*cough Cold Lake).

0- This album probably sucks so bad it's entertaining.
