New Rating System

Ok, I will mea culpa and admit I stole the other rating system from Pitchfork, but it seemed to be the best way to delineate between minor differences of albums so I could stress which one I liked better. To be honest though, it was more trouble than it was worth, and I found that I would rank a cd one way and then later on wish to change it. Plus, I would run into the issue of at year end liking something more that had a lower ranking and not wanting to put it above something else. Sigh.

With that said, I have come up with some completely ridiculous ranking terms, but I like them, and come from things me and my friends say to each other all the time, which I feel is fitting. Feel free to comment on them and give me your thoughts. I most likely won't take any of them seriously, but you can dare to dream.

So, without further ado, here is my own distinct reviewing platform. There might be some tweaking along the way, but here is the general formula:

Chillfos: masterpiece; coolest thing I've heard in ages.

Woof Daddy: excellent; just a hair away from being a masterpiece.

Grrrr: very good; will definitely be considered for my top albums of the year.

Yeah Daddy Make Me Want It: good; definitely invites further listens and peaks one's interest for more material.

Meh: not horrible, but certainly not good; could have either been trimmed or spent more time on.

Jeez Lady: what the hell happened? Just plain bad. They should hang their heads in shame and be forced to listen to Lady Gaga ad nauseam as penance.

Tragicistani: so bad, armed villagers with pitchforks and torches should run the artist out of the country for inflicting this abomination on the human race.
