Ratings

Here are the general guidelines I follow when rating albums and singles here.

★		either insulting or just bad (I try to avoid using this rating.)
★★		an OK album with some substantial shortcoming; or a good single
★★★		a good album, warts and all; or very good single
★★★★		a special album; possibly for historical reasons; or a truly great single
★★★★★		a great album all the way through; I never skip a song
