Topic - Review Etiquette and Rationale Posted: 28 May 2012 at 7:53pm By Wilytank |
I've never had a solid outline for my reviews besides an intro and conclusion. I've made it a point to talk about as many good or bad things I can identify, which is why I look down upon bare bones reviews for not saying much at all.
One thing I would like to say is that rating albums out of five stars is way too general for my liking. I much prefer rating things out of 100 like Encyclopaedia Metallum does it. 5/5 does not equal 100/100 in my system. My system for conversion is as follows 5/5 = 95/100 to 100/100 4.5/5 = 89/100 to 94/100 4/5 = 79/100 to 88/100 3.5/5 = 73/100 to 78/100 3/5 = 60/100 to 72/100 2.5/5 = 50/100 to 59/100 2/5 = 36/100 to 49/100 1.5/5 = 20/100 to 35/100 1/5 = 11/100 to 19/100 0.5/5 = 10/100 and below. So far, I've only published one 0.5/5 album to EM (Torsofuck's Erotic Diarrhea Fantasy) which I gave a 3%.
