Ratings Explained

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.
