About ratings:

90-100 awesome - major cult classics, A MUST HAVE!
80-89 great - minor classics and overall kickass albums; highly recommended!
70-79 good - not groundbreaking but enjoyable; has few great songs on album, and the rest of the material is generally above average, worth a listen.
60-69 average - rather generic, but not totally bad; might be worh a listen for die hard fans of the sub-genre/band; misses real high points and material is average throughout, or has a one or two good songs, while the rest of the songs are below average.
50-59 poor - not worth your money, does get more things wrong than right; a song or two songs are average at best, while the rest (or all) of the songs are poor.
40-49 very poor - mostly bad in all areas; no good songs, no high points to save the album; a junk, even by your favorite band.
0-39 disaster - enjoy your newly acquired brain-damage; there's something noticeably wrong on albums like this. Pure junk.
