My album rating is based on many aspects. First of all I listen to the sense that translates my first impression into comprehensible thoughts. As an expierenced music consumer in many different genres just like Pop, R&B, Soul, Singer/Songwriter, Alternative and Electronica/Dance, I usually trust my instincts - but also overthink them. It's important for me to look behind the music. Lyrics become very important when the music starts to grow and becomes more and more appealing. So, I'm looking at both: lyrical content and musical finesse. Comparisons with other artists, similar albums and standards in music business become important when it comes to the final rating. But at the end, my ratings are subjective with an objective point of view which I always try to add.
