For an album to get a 5/5, it needs to be near perfect. Which means that it needs to be one of the greatest albums of its genre/time/or whatever.
Comparing Mer De Noms to something like Aenima, or Lateralus for that matter, which are vastly better, shows that Mer De Noms is not near perfect. It is still a good album in all respects, but there are a lot of things out there that are better. Which means that it can't be at the top of the heap with a 5/5 rating.
It's a very good album, don't get me wrong, but it isn't 5/5. A 5/5 is a classic album, better then most everything out there. Mer De Noms is just not that good.
And none of the tracks are perfect. Saying that is simply igno
rant. Nothing is ever perfect, even though they can be excellent. You do seem to give a couple tracks scores that they don't deserve though. Orestes and Sleeping Beauty are hardly at the same level of lets say Judith, 3 Libras, or Magdalena.
Plus, you gave something a 6/5. Not only is that unprofessional and immature, but it reminds me of pure stupidity a la Spinal Tap.
Remember the Amp that goes to 11? Well, it should be going to 10, and the same is true here.
3 Libra's should be a 5/5, and all your other 5/5s should be 4/5s. You have proven this by saying that 3 Libras is a 6/5, your scale is faulty, just like the Amp in Spinal Tap.

whats your damn problem with me?
get a life and quit your bitching. I am not the first person to do the 6/5 thing. 3 Libras is definatley the most amazing song in a long time, and merits top scores. who cares about professionalism? It's a friggin internet forum. we're here to have fun!
on to other things--Mer de Noms is in a different Genre than Tool, therefore, comparing this album to Ænema or Lateralus is useless. this album may not be you're cup of tea, but I know people who've changed their whole musical outlook because of this cd (among others)
quit being so condescending toward me and my reviews.
and I still stand by my 5/5 review.
