    I just see anywhere in the 6’s as above average, since 5 is what I consider average, and it just kinda shocked me to see a 6.5 for the album considering a lot of people consider this album to be towards the realm of an 8-10. Wasn’t trying to come at ya, just makes it fun to see what score I can get out of you!

    Brudda, the modern rating system for video games has led many to think that anything below an 8 is garbage.

    In the realm of music and movies a score of 6.5 is solid. Movies that get an 8 or above are usually all time classics.

    I don’t believe in giving out 10/10s even for my favorite albums. More often than not, there’s at least one song that falls flat. For example, I’d probably rate TES around a 9.7 even though it’s likely my number one album of all time.

    Here's a breakdown according to ChatGPT.

    Sure! Here’s a breakdown of music scores on a scale from 1 to 10:

    1 - Poor

    Characteristics: Disorganized, lacks melody, and rhythm. Instruments may clash and vocals are off-key.
    Impact: Unpleasant to listen to, often feels unfinished or careless.

    2 - Fair

    Characteristics: Some semblance of structure but still heavily flawed. Few interesting moments, with major issues in execution.
    Impact: Can be grating; may only appeal to very niche audiences.

    3 - Mediocre

    Characteristics: Basic ideas present, but lacking depth. Simple melodies and predictable progressions.
    Impact: Forgettable; not engaging enough to warrant repeated listening.

    4 - Decent

    Characteristics: More cohesive than mediocre but still shows significant weaknesses in composition and performance.
    Impact: Some enjoyable moments, but overall lacks polish.

    5 - Average

    Characteristics: Competent but unremarkable. Standard song structures and familiar themes without unique twists.
    Impact: Can be enjoyable in the background but doesn’t stand out.

    6 - Good

    Characteristics: Solid craftsmanship with catchy hooks and competent instrumentation. A few standout moments or clever ideas.
    Impact: Likely to be enjoyed by a wider audience, though may not be memorable in the long run.

    7 - Very Good

    Characteristics: Strong melodies and well-executed arrangements. Displays creativity and emotional resonance.
    Impact: Likely to be revisited; resonates well with listeners.

    8 - Excellent

    Characteristics: High level of artistry, innovative concepts, and emotional depth. Great production quality and skilled performances.
    Impact: Memorable and impactful; stands out in its genre.

    9 - Exceptional

    Characteristics: Masterful composition and execution. Unique sound, profound lyrics, and emotional connection that transcends typical boundaries.
    Impact: Leaves a lasting impression and can influence others; often considered a classic.

    10 - Masterpiece

    Characteristics: A pinnacle of artistic achievement. Flawless integration of all elements—melody, harmony, rhythm, lyrics, and production.
    Impact: Timeless quality; often cited as a benchmark in music history, inspiring generations.

    I think 6.5 for an album I will never listen to again, not even for one song is a fair score. Don't make me hit you in the head with a participation trophy

    I never liked Disturbed so I didn't participate out of respect.

    Exactly, was much harder to get into than many other BMTH records. I just gave up because of how rough it sounded; had a ton of records I was listening to at the time so I forgot about that one rather quickly.

    Not that I’m saying I need something mega polished from the band, it’s just that I felt like they went two steps back with that release in terms of how it sounded.
