Not rating an album in a review is a coward move. I think there are far more "6" albums out there than get rated too. I think a lot of people use the "7" when they should be using the "6".

What an amazing first sentence to see right as I log in. .

It has nothing to do with importance or the dilation of the anus, it's sometimes just very hard to summarise an opinion so succinctly. I often reconsider my ratings, but very rarely what's been said in the review

I can understand that reviewers love text as they put a lot of time into those words, and that's alright. But if a reviewer thinks that their opinion is so important that it can't be put into numbers, then the anus is too closed.

Heh, maybe that's where I'll end up too eventually.

That's what I did for a while, until I got rid of them altogether.

Perhaps I should start using only whole number ratings. Those are the only ones who are well defined in the rating system anyway. 5 not good, 6 average, 7 good, 8 great, 9 excellent, 10 perfect. Don't need much more than that tbh.
