Mind bogglingly good year for music it’s so hard to appreciate it given the times but so grateful to have it still. Trying not to burn s*** out so I can appreciate it properly eventually
There hasn’t been a single 10/10. Actual 10/10 albums are like 3-5 times a decade imo
And this is why numeric ratings on art is so pointless
Just a false pretense that everyone agrees on what any of those numbers even represent

A ten for me is not a ten for you or everyone else.
I know what a 10 is for me and that’s what I’m speaking on

I’m the same tbh. I do think there are two potential 10’s this year (time will tell) but the only time I’ll give a 10 is if I like every single moment of an album, skits and features included. For example Illmatic or liquid swords. Ready to die can’t be a 10 for example since it has a s***skit and one song that’s kinda meh (it’s still a classic and one of my favourite albums though).

Exactly this

But numbers are quantitative and feelings on albums are qualitative
Is the “three” in ops title up for interpretation?
I mean I get th impulse to use ratings that way but it’s just ineffective as s***
Edit: apologies if that came off defensive btw im speaking to a broader point nothing wrong w how you rate stuff
Sometimes I'm convinced that you all just make up album titles and discuss em to troll me

Ineffective for you. For me a whatever/10 is just a quick way to summarize how Someone fees about an album. It’s really not much deeper than that

This is what’s wrong with the 1-10 rating system 😂 you really feel like every album in this list is perfect?
The only 10 is After Hours
Cant be a 10 with that trash second verse on snow child
