Decided to "loosen" my rating criteria ever-so-slightly. Basically, the albums that I would consider to be in the 4.7-4.9 range are now gonna be brought up to 5's on this site, when they were 4.5's before. Rest in peace to my objectivity rating. Order is just alphabetical.
Life's too short to be so picky over what's considered a classic or not. If I've dedicated dozens, if not hundreds of hours of my life listening to the same albums over and over, who cares if there's slight nitpicks.
Or you could just say inflation's so bad it's affecting music ratings now, idk.

To me, for instance, albums like The Ossuary Lens or Toxic have enormous production issues but I still have them at 5 for the replay value. That's my main rating criterion.
i've always had that standard for my 5's. a 5 is just something you feel. even if it has a few flaws or maybe even a lesser song. i like to think a 6/5 song can compensate for a lesser one lol
some excellent choices here, couple 5's and more 4.5's for me. a great variety as well, lots of classics. shoutout op which has become my fav dillinger over the years.
Radical is an interesting 5 for me because there's definitely quite a few individual ETID tracks I'm way fonder of, but I think the whole thing fits together perfectly as the ultimate culmination of their career.
