My ratings would go something like this...
10- Absolute Classic and if anyone disagrees...
9- Near classic. Possibly the best thing I've heard in ages
8- Not perfect but very good album nonetheless
7- Good album. Not a classic but something to enjoy
6- Fair. Listenable, maybe a little above average but only a little
5- Definitely average
4- Below average
3- Really below average. Are you guys actually making me listen to this?
2- Now this album kind of sucks. Target practice anybody?
1- This album really sucks. This rates with the worst of Paul Anka!
So nobody better give me a 1 album, or else...
