Ratings go from:

WORSHIP ❤️❤️❤️: Absolute greatness, a mindblowing album.
LOVE ❤️❤️🖤: Amazing release with very few flaws.
LIKE ❤️🖤🖤: Enjoyable but far from perfect.
DISLIKE 💔: Not very good or maybe not fitting my tastes.

I've decided to stop rating albums with a numerical value as I tend to feel uncomfortable with that. This list has a minimalistic, subjective and visceral approach, based purely on sensations and personal tastes. Mainly for personal use and doesn't pretend to be a serious ranking, but emerges from the need to remember which bands and albums I enjoyed and the ones I disliked. I constantly revisit new releases so first impressions may change over time. It usually takes 8-10 spins for me to get completely sure of a rating.

As I discovered Metal Storm so late, I´m try to record most of the albums I listened along the past two decades, althought it's almost impossible not to overlook some of them. Maybe that's the reason why there aren't many dislikes; it's hard to remember music you didn't enjoy, hah.

Disclaimer: ❤️🖤🖤 is NOT a bad score. It's a good score. When I like an album, it means I actually like it. I enjoyed it and will be pleased to listen to it from time to time. Most of the time it all comes down to personal tastes.
