On Alice in Chains - Dirt
"@ToTheEdge Like I said, it's a C using my original scoring method. When I look at AOTY ratings, I view it as a 0-10 scale, not a school grade scale. AOTY makes a 51 seem more harsh than it really is. There were songs I liked, but as a whole, it was "disappointing" like the breakdown shows. But I know this is a top tier album to the public and I'm the outlier, and it certainly will be better when I listen to it in the future."
On The Clash - London Calling
"@wetsockiguess Here's the average grade to curve grade conversion I use, along with the breakdown that's on my profile page. It's a curve that is tailored to me and reflects my opinions well. Also, lowest was Four Horsemen - 4.
88.5+ = 100 All Time Favorites
84-88.5 = 90-99 Must Listen
82-84 = 80-89 Would Recommend
79-82 = 70-79 Enjoyed
77-79 = 60-69 Okay
75-77 = 50-59 Disappointing
73-75 = 40-49 Disliked
71-73 = 30-39 Could Barely Finish
65-71 = 20-29 Please Don't Make Me Listen To This Again"

"@ToTheEdge Sure! I created the curve since the original grading system I had used were like a letter grade in school. A's are 90+, B's 80-89, etc. When I chose to use AOTY, I wanted to change may rating to reflect the color system AOTY has (green 70+, yellow 50-69, red 49-).
Many albums I've listened to are in the 60 or 70 range, and those on either end get hit with the curve, for better or worse. For Dirt, it averaged a 75.25 (a C school grade), curve made it a 51. I had never listed to Alice in Chains or Dirt before, and this was a one time listen. After one listen, it wasn't my taste, resulting in it being on the lower end. However, I'm sure if I gave it a couple more listens, it would end up higher, as with most music."

"@Kaelb292 I use a grading curve."
On Taking Back Sunday - Louder Now
"@E27 I use a grading scale. There's a breakdown of how ratings correlate with my opinion on my page."
On Peter Gabriel - So
"@fadoobadooba I use a grading curve for my rankings, it's not a simple average."
On Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine
"@selftitled3 I use a grading curve, the true average is higher for this, but it helps it reflect higher/lower scores of albums."
On Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life
"@Zebro I realize. The breakdown just allows for people to see why I gave the album the rating I did."
On Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
"@AnneTheManne Maybe not! I'll have to give this album another try soon"
On Tame Impala - Currents
"@Kenoke Yeah, alt rock is my comfort zone typically. I've been listening to a lot of albums of varying genres to expose myself to new music. Wouldn't be surprised if I come back to this album in a couple of years and end up liking it more."
On Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
"@eerie thanks for the recommendation!"
