Rating System

The problem with music reviews is the amount of opinion and subjectivity. I can't possibly review an album based purely on its musical merit; I'm just not that good, nor do I think that would make for interesting reading. However, I do think a rating system is helpful, so I thought I would explain mine here.

All scores are out of five stars, and here's a simple explanation of each rating:

1 star (*) - Terrible
2 stars (* *) - Lacking
3 stars (* * *) - Decent
4 Stars (* * * *) - Solid
5 Stars (* * * * *) - Fantastic

Those might not be the perfect one-word descriptions, but they're close enough. Hopefully this is helpful.
