I used to use the 10 scale, but it was more complicated than it was worth.
So, I simplify the scale.

* - Bad (Has little to no merit and probably no good songs)
Example: Kevin Federline's album
** - Mediocre (Lacks originality and/or consistency. Has a good song or two though.)
Example: I Am Not A Human Being II
*** - Decent (It has a lot of flaws, but the good outweighs the bad. Good for the artist's fans.)
Example: Encore
**** - Good (Either a quality refined album or a would-be-great album. Recommendable to most rap fans)
Example: Life Is Good
***** - Great (As perfect as can be. Highly innovative. Potential classic material.)
Example: Disposable Arts

I don't like to get into the ratings, but I usually just say, great, good, average, or s-----y.

For example:
Great: To p---- A Butterfly
Good: 2014 Forest Hills Drive
Average: Love Story
s-----y: Shady XV

Usually if it's good I listen to it.

If not I delete it

I rate all tracks and then i average them out

A couple of sentences about what I liked and didn't like about it.

 

Jun 18, 2015

i feel like 75% of people rate things as classic or trash

I dont get too in to reviews and stuff but will usually just use 1-10 with anything 7+ as a good album

I don't really play the whole ratings game since it's sort of completely worthless.

what about albums that are better or worse than the sum of their parts?

 

Jun 18, 2015

In the case that I have to make an exception because the album qualifies a different standard, I make a pros and cons list. I adjust the rating accordingly based on the amount written for each section of the list
