Music Ratings Explained

Ratings are based on a chart from one to ten with one being the worst and ten the best. The scale follows the five-star rating of iTunes in that it is divided into five steps with a good and a bad rating.

RatingPointsDescription
1 Star (don’t like)1This sucks, hard!
 2This sucks too, but has a few likeable moments.
2 Stars (nice music) 3Boring, but not bad enough to suck. Can be listened to once in a while.
 4 Nothing special but not bad either. Doesn’t trigger a “must skip” reflex if played.
3 Stars (good stuff)5 Interesting stuff. Has really good moments but also some boring ones. Might be played on purpose from time to time.
 6This rocks! There are some minor issues that prevent from being a killer.
4 Stars (holy cow)7This one kills. Very entertaining and almost without any glitches.
 8 Can it get any better? The only thing that is keeping this from being special are boring elements you have to search for intentionally.
5 Stars (perfect)9 This is something special! Very likely to be played over and over again. Some minor issues keep from getting a “ten” but still, special!
 10 This one simply has no flaws.
