i tend to lean towards experimental music, but i'll give most things a good shot!
I try to be fairly critical w/ my scores. while i rate highly, outright perfect songs aren't too common
# RATING SCALE #
100 ~ perfect; without flaws; often life-changing
95 ~ incredible
90 ~ amazing
80/85 ~ great all-around
70/75 ~ good, but doesn't stand out
60/65 ~ adequate, notably flawed
50/55 ~ bland
<50 ~ bad (to varying degrees)
(fav. albums are my fixations)
