About


Hello.

This is my blog-format project for reviewing albums. My aim is to have every single album I own reviewed - but as my current collection includes more than 400 albums, It'll take me several years even if I manage to review an album every other day - thus this might end up as a forever-project. Anyway, I guess listening the stuff I own and writing about it is better pastime than just pointless surfing over the web.

With my reviewing method I will look at the album both one song at a time and as a whole, the final score being a rounded average score of the songs.

Unless I get better ideas, I will review the albums in a completely randomized order, using a random number generator.

And this link here is for those who are interested in what I actually listen to.

Currently reviewed: 11 out of 520 albums.

Album scoring system

My logic behind scoring the albums

90-100: Exceptional album. Pure bliss from the first track to the last. Worth every penny.

85-89: Very good album. Most of the songs are awesome, and the rest are very enjoyable. Very recommended.

80-84: Good album. Either the album has very evenly good songs or it has both very good and pretty lousy songs. Still most likely worth the while.

75-79: Average album. May have a decent amount of very good songs, but has also its fair share of weaker ones. A good buy but you'll manage without.

70-74: Below-average album. The amount of nice tracks is getting pretty nigh, and it might be that there aren't any good songs in the whole album. Some albums have only one mind-blowing song that makes the album worth buying.

65-69: Poor album. There is a slight chance that there is a song or two that are good, but they are lost in the sea of lousy tracks. Could be worth buying if you happen to really, really, REALLY like the band.

60-64: Lousy album. Buy it only if you are a completionist and a big fan. Play it once every five years to remind you why you never listen to it.

55-59: Buy only if you are a hard-core completionist, and even then don't think of playing it. As a gift a perfect way of making enemies.

1-54: Utter shite. Avoid at all costs. Not worth your money even if it's free.
