This, more or less. Mostly I'll have an idea of what rating I will give in my head by the time I listen a few times.

Sorry for bothering you; I'm just curious about why you think so.

My rating criteria list is pretty loaded. In it are things like originality, capability to blow my mind, musical and lyrical talent, consistency, etc. It's simple math there. That means that the record under my current review would have to be one hell of a record to get a five from me. The less criteria the record passes, the lower the rating.

There was a time when I used to write pretty heavily for a few days on the grounds of enjoyment (which was just not fair to the authors whose works I've rated). I'm intent on re-doing all of my reviews and ratings, making them as objective as I will see them to be whilst retaining a hint of personality in the reviews.

and 2.0 to 0.5 are varying degrees of bad

I agree with this just fine.

What does each star rating mean when you give it?

5.0: Masterpiece; perfect or just about perfect
4.5: Amazing; almost a masterpiece but not quite
4.0: Great; no major flaws
3.5: Got some bad songs, but mostly awesome
3.0: Mixed; a lot of ups and downs
2.5: Forgettable
