How I rate

Head & Heart

Every review has two scores from 1 to 10. Head rates how well the album is made. Heart rates what it did to me. The most interesting albums are the ones where they disagree: HEAD 9 / HEART 3 means a perfect record that left me cold.

The Gap

The difference between the two scores is the Gap. A big Gap is where the real conversation starts, so tell me in the comments if your head and heart agree with mine.

The verdict

Vinyl – buy it, keep it, play it again.
Playlist – take the best tracks, skip the rest.
Skip – life is short.
