When I review bands I usually also give them a rating between “1 and 10”. Simply writing numbers is pretty vague, so here is a detailed description of what I personally mean by each verdict:
1: extremely bad, stay as far away from this album as you can
2: Wow this really sucked
3: this is bad but has some decent things in it
4: Not impressed but its not that bad
5: 50–50 not that good but not bad, its listenable
6: this is good
7: This is really good
8: wow this is great
9: This is awesome! You should definitely check this album out!
10: MASTERPIECE!!! I have absolutely no complaints at all.
