About
Music either works or it doesn't.
A six means decent enough but nothing special. Below that lands between mid and absolute garbage. Above that is where you find the good stuff, the kind worth remembering, all the way up to those rare perfect scores. No fancy systems, just honest reactions to what I hear.
*I listened to most of the albums long before writing my reviews. I only discovered AOTY about early 2025, so I decided to go back and review every album I’ve ever heard.
