Ratings on The Grand Tour

The Grand Tour, as you may guess by the lurches and u-turns, by the way it has sprawled over the years, is hardly scientific.

It doesn't have a rigorous review system.

But a rating system there is.

All albums are rated by stars, 1-5.
1- awful, likely to be deleted from my collection, physically AND digitally.
2- Pretty damn bad. Kept only for archival value or so I can say, see this really bad album I have it.
3- Meh to Ok, meh.
4- Pretty darn good. Honestly, most of my collection, I expect to be four stars.
5- Amazeballs. Stand out album, really feel it.

 If a CD is SO DAMN AMAZING I CAN'T CONTAIN MYSELF, it goes up to 6. Well there be more stars?

A key factor is "Will I listen to the album again?." So albums that are not... shall we say, considered as good or actually not as amazing others, but are more likely to be listened, will be higher rated than some of the most important albums in all of history.

Feel free to disagree, in fact.. I hope you do. People disagreeing will be well enjoyed.

And don't worry.. the East Germans will not be allowed to skew ratings to favor Russian artists.

Though Zvuki Mu and t.A.t.u. will be will reviewed. We love those rocking Slavs.
