I'll give five stars to the complaints about five stars...
Here I'm shadowed by a dragon fig tree's fan
ringed by ants and musing over man.

I would give fewer albums 5 stars if there were more options. Quite often, I give albums .25, .5 or .75 more portions of a star simply because I don't feel it warrants whatever whole star rating I would assign it.

This is why Mike's system is much more logical, and a bit more interesting than the old 5-star system.
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

We need a 10 point system!

Most 5 star reviews go something like this:

Great band ................................. 5 stars definitely............. one of the great masterpieces of all
time..........................bla bla bla.

One of the reasons I don't like to review an album on this side is that 4 stars (excellent album)
almost always drags a band down in average rating. so i let the others just ramble on.m.

I do think that a 10 point rating scale would help things. On the other hand people will
continue giving their favorite bands 10 stars then because after all progarchives
 is a sort of sport to them.


Try my website - it offers a 15 point scale. So far there is only one album listed with the maximum rating.

 

 



I will do that thx
