| How can anyone give a song 10/10? I know its only a personal thing but giving a track 10/10 means its absolutly flawless? Maybe PvD's - For an Angel or Lost Tribe - Gamemaster deserve a 10/10. But then again there will be people that disagree with me. Just wanted to know what you all thought... |

the problem with song ratings are their complete subjectivity. I could say a song is 10/10, but you might give it 3/10. there's so many different factors that contribute to a song that it's nearly impossible to quantify all the aspects and create an accurate rating system.
but that's also why it's fun to check out songs other people really like, to figure out why they like what they do.
I give Poloroid's "So Damn Beautiful" Andy Morris remix a 10/10, but lots of people here don't like it. to each their own ;) |

I'm glad someone brougt this up.
The real problem is the scale. A ten point scale isn't precise enough if everyone is going to give 10's all the time. It needs to be done on a hundred point scale, or use decimals like 9.5 or 8.7. I have no problem with people giving 10's all the time. I respect that as that person's opinion.
Here's the real thing though. In my personal opinion, if I rate 3 different songs all 10's, do I like them all equally? Probably not. I would like atleast one of those songs more than the other two. So let's say that makes one of them 9.5, one 9.7, and one 9.9.
The other problem is that there is no universal scale. For one person a 6/10 might be a bad song, but for the next person it could be considered better than average or the medium of the scale which might be a 5/10.
I think we need a universal TA Rating Scale. Something that might look like this:
0 - Doesn't exsist (If someone took the time to make the song
it deserves to be rated atleast a 1)
1 - Physically hurts your ears to listen to
2 - Doesn't Physically hurt, but you feel dumber after hearing it
3 - A definate Waste of Time
4 - Tolerable, but it needs a remix
5 - Average
6 - Getts better after several listens
7 - Worth Buying
8 - Great song, but after a few hundred plays you'll be sick of it.
9 - Absolutely Amazing Record! I'll never get sick of it.
10 - One of the best records ever made (in my opinion of course)
You could then use decimals to vary your ratings, because everybody can usually distinguish between which of their 10's are there absolute favorites.
And one more thing. There is no such thing as an 11/10 or a 15/10 or what ever. If the record is that good, then you rated a whole bunch of other 10's too high.
Anybody else have ideas for a Universal TA Rating Scale, or the UTARS for short? |
