My Scoring Rubric for Album Reviews

10/10 - Seminal, genre-defining, groundbreaking, legendary, should be in your collection

9/10 - Excellent, goes above and beyond the call of duty, worthy of heavy rotation, one should strongly consider buying

8/10 - Very strong, may not blow you away but solid recording, little weaknesses if any, worth the purchase price

7/10 - Very good, but has a few weaknesses that are hard to ignore, may have a couple tracks that disappoint, worth checking out

6/10 - Not great as a whole, but has some standout tracks, parts are catchy but inconsistent, consider acquiring tracks singularly

5/10 - Really not a very good album, some riffs are good but artist fails to provide a 'complete' song, maybe listen to it once on youtube, if that

4/10 - Just plain poor, maybe a vague appeal to niche interests

3/10 - Has me questioning if I'm really a metal fan

2/10 - I'm thinking about giving up on music, I wish I hadn't heard that

1/10 - I hope I never feel the need to give this score

0/10 - I can never get that time back, part of me just died
