Mu, what are some albums that you would consider true 5/10s?
Not offensively bad but just uninteresting and forgettable
I'm trying to rank some of the albums I hear and I'm having trouble setting baseline for a 5.

Here's a pretty recent example
>>74866276
People who can eat people
>>74866654
Close, but it's actually a 5.5/10. Maybe a 6/10.
>>74866673
Objectively I'd say it's meat n potatoes and uninteresting
>>74866276
basically most albums
>>74866326
Sad, but I agree to be completely honest
Most FOTW albums that never get mentioned again
Anything by The Cars.
The Cars have some good individual songs but their albums are just 'ok.'
>>74866654
Yeah but would you consider 5 or so great songs surrounded by duds as a 5/10?
Usually a 5/10 for me is 1-3 listenable songs and the rest is trash.
Mainstream pop albums would be good for this.
Most aren't that great but it's usually at least fine as background noise.

It hurts my heart to agree with you. I have never been impressed by an album front to back. Each has a few fucking incredible tracks ... the rest are skip worthy.
Captain Condoms - Super Cool
>>74866276
Has a few hits but overall just bland.
Also anything by Big Star. Those albums are snooze cruise but I couldn't pick you out a single "bad" song.
>>74868361
hes joking guys its fine
>>74868361
>Burning down the house
>Girlfriend is better
>Naive Melody
Forgettable

5/10 is par for me. Very few albums overall make it to 6, 7, and above.
Most albums in existence occupy somewhere from a 2(excessively bad) to a four (offensively bad).
Apathy gets a 1/10 because if music isn't stimulating me then it might as well not exist in the first place.
Your rating systems don't make sense to me.
Aphex Twin's entire discography. No meme.
>>74868729
yours mean fuck all As well friendo

The original comment I was going to type was that nobody ultimately cares about someone else's ratings system and that asking everyone for 5/10's is fundamentally stupid due to self-imposed rating systems, but decided against it.
Perhaps I ought not have bothered.
>>74868361
I disagree with this one, it's not up to the level of their first 4 albums but I think it's still above average in general.
>>74869624
Ok ok, when you put it in that perspective.
I was rating it against 77, MSAB, Fear of Music, Remain In Light and True Stories.
I'd bump to at least 6.5
But I stand by this being a 5.
Honestly it just doesn't stick.
