Not really man..... because i'll weight things differently.

For instance, lets take the review I did for Jimmy Eat World. At the end it ended up averaging a bit over 7, but the album on the whole felt far worse than that. So I dropped the rating.

You say the way I review is limited, yet the way you want to review if reverything to be either an 8 or an 8.5 or a 7 or a 7.5.

But that is far more limiting. So i hear an album and I don't think its good enough to score an 8, but it is dam close. Right away I have to drop it to a 7.5, which is really misleading because I feel its better than that.

Its like when you are in school, I'm sure if you deserved a 79 but the teacher didn't want to give you that 80, and rounded down to a 75 you wouldn't be overly impressed.

I mean to call it limiting in one breath, and then to ask for something that is far more limiting is very contradictory.

For me an album is the sum of the parts, and evne if you have one of the best songs of the year if you have two brutal songs. your album deserves to feel the wrath of that in the score.

my scoring system allows for that. most reviews do not.
