Endorsements
3
1. Only ESPECIALLY favorite (a bit more stringently than ver1 and rating 10 is not enough)
2. All time & genre (including Non-Metal on MS)
3. Only studio albums & EPs
4. The genre is primary one, that means the genre is based on the highest proportion of the album's musical elements that I think. For example. if Black Metal elements is 90% and Death Metal elements is 10%, the genre is Black Metal.
5. The number of stars indicates my personal rating (max:4 stars, min:1 star).
6. The order: rating > A to Z (initial of band's name) > release date
7. Black Wisdom, an album of Russian band Grey Heaven Fall, is deleted. When the situation gets better, I will repost.
