For tracks that are categorically 'good,' and not simply tolerable and passively pleasant, I'd say four out of ten for me.

If you buy every album with only 4 (good) out of ten tracks, you'll end up with thousands of bad to mediocre cds...



Wait...unless...you download...

I wrote that assuming we're talking about Dance music artist albums, and in that respect, perhaps my expectations have become low enough (from most of the one's I own, at least) such that four good tracks is enough to receive a passing grade from me.

But it's also worth mentioning that a mere collection of good songs doesn't translate into a good album. I can burn a CD with a variety of good tracks, it doesn't mean they're going to sound good together or fit well within the album as a whole.

Oooo.. touch.

I do..

And how am I supposed to know an album is good or not without actually purchasing it before and listening it later? By looking at the cover? I download.. and when I like it.. I purchase it.

And if I had to purchase everytime, I will:

I don't work it out like that.

Yeah, great fucking music these guys make, indifferent of the name. Perhaps they should have gotten their shit right from the beginning instead. Another favorite of mine is "East Hastings" which is the track that plays at the beginning of "28 Days Later" and is on "f#a#". I came to know them through this track. Simply awesome

Depends on what the "not good" tracks are like, depends on how good the "good" tracks are, depends on how they all fit together.
