So, I sat here trying to correlate different words with individual
number rankings, such as mediocre, good, great, awesome, etc. I couldn't
even come up with 20 words that vary in intensity/quality. I am a firm
believer in personal, subjective taste. Too many things factor into
music for someone to say this is objectively good or bad. I'm also not
saying that I tolerate everything, I hate my fair share of artists and I
don't mind saying so. I've had instances where personal tragedy has
made me like one album in a genre I stay away from and don't enjoy. Like
I said, too many factors: exposure, personal experiences, biological,
etc.
I don't think the ratings I do can even be consistent in comparison with
others in the genre, so I guess what I'm saying is that you shouldn't
put too much importance in a number rating. I try to explain what I like
about the albums I listen to. I don't know too much about the
intricacies of music but I do know what I enjoy.
Thanks for reading.
