Noone does that (I hope), but where would you draw the line? If you were serious about your opinions - say your job was to write album reviews - then I think it would be good to have firmer criteria than that for how you score albums.
I think you're a little confused about what I'm saying. None of what I am saying refers to how one should grade an album. I'm simply saying that I'd prefer to get more songs for the same price then less, because I can ignore weaker "extra" tracks and enjoy any good "extra" tracks.
