Rate The Debut Albums Of Your Ten Favourite Bands

[justanothername]

Yeah, I'd consider 4/10 below average and a 5/10 an average but each to their own I guess

[the wonderwhy]

I go with

1-3: Rubbish

4: Meh

5: Average

6-7: Good

8-9: Great

10: Superb

[Yellow_Fellow]

I've always maintained that a 1-10 scale is based on the following

0: awful

1-3: Really Bad/ Poor

4-6: Average

7-9: Good/Great

10: Superb

How the fuck did you make an arbitrary, abstract system of numbers even more detached from anything tangible?

[Gucci Piggy]

People who rate average albums like 7/10 are the bane of my life. "Oh Humbug's a pretty average album, 7 or 8 out of 10". Nah prick.

Adversely, I can't stand people who are too stingy to throw 10's around. Unless you have a fairly eclectic set of favourite bands and are kaosmark2 then you're likely to think at least one of the debuts of your ten favourites merits a 10/10, right?

Why are you rating out of 5 you vagina

[Com Truise]

Yeah but for me my last year I had 3 10/10 albums

Deafheaven - Sunbather

letlive. - The Blackest Beautiful

The Wonder Years - The Greatest Generation

How I came to that I don't know, but meh

Funny thing is I didn't appreciate the albums fully until this year so I didn't nominate them in the 2013 award thread

I do have a dodgy music taste

Deftones

Adrenaline 4/5 (5/7)

[Yellow_Fellow]

I love OOS and Absolution but there's a special influence on Showbiz that they don't have.

Case in point:

[justanothername]

Like Clockwork, Opposites and The 1975 would all be 10s for me, didn't include the latter anywhere cause tourette would kill me

My taste is equally as dodgy dw

I don't know if Opposites is a 10/10 for me. I'm a Biffy fan boy but there are some bad songs on the album *cough The Fog cough* but still some bloody good material on there though. It also didn't leave me feeling "Holy Shit that was a great album" like the others did. Like Clockwork was great though, better than Opposites in my opinion, but I just can't give a 10 for some reason.

I also recommend to you that you listen to The Greatest Generation by The Wonder Years if you haven't already Com, from your debut list sounds right up your street

Biffy Clyro - Blackened Sky - 9/10 - Excellent record, not my favourite Biffy album, but to be honest my favourite changes daily.

Editors - The Back Room - 9/10 - Their best in my opinion. Tracks 6-9 of this is something else.

Queens Of The Stone Age - Self Titled - 7/10 - Probably my 5th favourite of theirs. Not bad.

Arcade Fire - Funeral - 10/10 - In my top 3 of all-time. Flawless.

Nirvana - Bleach - 6/10 - My least favourite of the three. It's okay.

Muse - Showbiz - 7/10 - It's got two of my favourite Muse songs in Sunburn and Sober, but other than that I don't think it's overly special.

Neutral Milk Hotel - On Avery Island - 8/10 - Not as good overall as In The Aeroplane, but Naomi is my favourite NMH song and it's still a really good record.

Pulled Apart By Horses - Self Titled - 9.5/10 - Just incredible.

The 1975 - Self Titled - 8/10 - One of my favourites of 2013, really enjoyable.

Foals - Antidotes - 8/10 - It's a really good album.

Yellow has to be different.

Considering everyone else on this forum is wrong and I'm always right that does seem to be the case
