So why'd you just rate it a 5, dude?!?!?!
Oh well. Let's see if I can explain this.
It's just a single. I mean, let's take the "Master of Puppets" single for example. It's my favourite song of all time, so thereby it would get a 10, right? Not really in my opinion, I can't give it the same rating as I would give the actual album. One single with one song can't in my mind get a 10. That would also mean that a single is better than an album with maybe 10 songs which I've given a 9. And it isn't.
Because of that, my ratings for singles rarely go over a 7. The rating 5 or 6 for a single is a good rating IMO, I like the single, I like the song(s). A single with a 7, I think I have some 8:s out there too, is a really good single, often a "big" one with maybe 3 great songs.
I've given it a lot of thought, probably to much. Some would say that you would rate a single compared to all other singles, not to compare them to full albums as I do. I understand that. But I just wouldn't like the sight of an awesome single, 3 minutes long or something like that, having a better rating than a great album clocking over one hour.
Get it?
