back to the index-page!



number of album reviews: 334. number of artists reviewed: 103 (guest reviews: 1).

10/10 - what the hell is that!?
9/10 - stunning. brillant.
8/10 - a really good album.
7/10 - solid. a few great ones and a couple of bad ones.
6/10 - good, but might be slightly generic.
5/10 - ok, but you better skip this one.
4/10 - pretty poor. if you're already a fan you might enjoy a song or two.
3/10 - this is bad.
2/10 - listen to it at your own risk. even fans might best wanna avoid it.
1/10 - put the cd on in shuffle-mode and you're playing russian roulette. with six bullets.

unrated - for various reasons. no matter how great (or bad) it may be, I just can't give it a regular rating. If you'll ever find a Mozart review here, he'll probably end up here.

the stars:

just there for further guiding. for instance, radiohead's ok computer and hail to the thief both get the 9/10 rating, but ok computer still is the better album. therefore, it gets a weak five star rating whilst hail to the thief has to settle with only four (strong) stars. the stars are based on a similar system as amg use.
