What the ratings stand for:

* Note: loosely based on Adrian Denning's rating system

10

an aural orgasm, created by a band at the top of its game, an album that has the x-factor

9.5

a brilliant album, consistently challenging or just ear candy, a band at its creative peak

9

an immensely consistent album, performed by a great band

8.5

an excellent album that may have a few less-than-marvellous tracks, but which contains strong overall songwriting and performances.

8

a very good album

7.5

a strong album with consistently good song writing or some very good stuff alternated with lesser songs (max. 1/3)

7

a good album

6.5

almost good, a bit of a hit-or-miss affair, that probably has quite some filler, but may have some good stuff too

6

average album, with some decent stuff, but mainly interesting for fans, and unlikely to have more than a few stand-out tracks

5.5

below average, mediocre song writing or some decent songs with lots of filler (1/2 or more)

5

weak, the majority of the album is filler, and the best tracks aren’t really interesting

4

so bland it’s boring

3

a bad album

2

a crap album

1

offensively bad, an insult

My ratings explained: a subjective approach

I won’t deny that my music reviews offer subjective ideas and opinions. I’m not the one to tell you objectively which record is interesting, captivating or good and which is not. Moreover, I don’t believe in an objective approach. More than anything else, music is something which I experience, not something which I can measure, capture or control. I do know that some albums are more revolutionary than others, or that some albums contain technical virtuosity while others could have been played by almost anyone with a basic knowledge about music. I will mention these elements in my reviews (if I’m aware of them, that is), but in the end, these will not be the decisive factors. If we were to use objective criteria and focus on technical prowess/virtuosity for example (which can, in a way, be measured), then the best of-lists would probably be crammed with loads of fusion and prog rock. Some albums (Zappa’s Hot Rats or Steely Dan’s Countdown to Ecstasy, for instance) do impress me because of the impeccable high standard of playing, but there has to be more (and those two albums have more). I don’t really know what element the decisive factor is, and it’s probably a combination of several. For convenience sake, I will call it the x-factor. Why do we like one band or album more than another one? This may be influenced by our first music discoveries (if you were exposed (out of your free will) to lots of hard rock, it’s very likely that you’ll still like that genre 10 years later, when you’ve built up a larger music collection), what you value most in music (I for one, I’m always looking for a certain…uh… call it ‘sincerity’ in music, some sort of energy that makes an album rock and roll, even if it’s a solo acoustic effort), the degree to which it makes you feel good/bad/different after you heard it, etc. So, I repeat: the reviews are subjective ‘stories’ of how I experience certain albums, but maybe someone out there will agree. This means it’s perfectly possible that I rate an album by a virtually unknown artist (e.g. Johnny Dowd’s Pictures from Life’s Other Side) higher than an album that’s considered a revolutionary masterpiece (The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band). Of course, if I ever get to the latter, I will stress that we’re dealing with an important (though flawed) album.

Aren’t your ratings a little high?

I don’t think so. Well, you may give some albums lower grades, of course, and that’s your prerogative. I’m very glad that the biggest part of my LP/CD-collection are items that I really like. I discovered some artists by accident, some because a friend recommended one of their albums, others I first listened to after I got them from the library, and still others after I read a review written by a critic who I tend to agree with. I simply don’t have the money to buy every friggin’ album in the world, so I’d rather spend my money on an interesting album by a small band, than a rotten tomato by a highly regarded rock band. I know that some people may argue that I can’t get a complete idea of a band’s history without carefully listening to all of a band’s albums, but so be it. Why would I spend my money on albums I don’t like? I don’t need the Stones’ Dirty Work. I heard it, and it sucks. I am willing to complete a small catalogue with some minor efforts, but a dozen weak albums by one artist? No, thanks.
