I'm re-calibrating my system. It's not an authentic 3.5. My 3.5s are being underappreciated because of how generous I've found myself to be rating.

So with my new system heres how it works. 2.5 is the pivotal point. Any higher is a climb and any lower is a drop.
Meaning 3, 4, and 5 is likability but with varying extent.
2, 1, and 0.5 is a dislike with varied extent.

I think the right word is compressing my ratings. I noticed not all 5s are the same (I noticed a quality difference), so some are really 4.5s. I noticed some of my 4s should be 3.5.Atm 15% of my songs are at 5, but realistically I'd say it's closer to 10%. Anyways you get the idea.
