If an album has say 10 tracks, than how many minimum tracks must be good for you to call it a 'good album'?
For me in a 10 track album, atleast 3 should be good.. 30%!!
Most of Ferry's album has 12-13 tracks but only one worth listening. Isnt it fair to call it a bad album if dosent reach the 30% mark? |

| A good album should have only one or two "forgivable" tracks. Otherwise, it's a album that has a couple of good tracks on it. |

Track placement is a lot more important to me then the individual track when listening to a mix cd. I want to be taken on a journey. Just because the CD has 10 straight bombs doesn't mean it is going to be on repeat in my car for a year.
There have been countless times I went to buy a track that I heard in a mix and when I listened to it soley on it's own, I was unimpressed. The dj was just able to make it work in his set and that's that. :) |

Why would you call that a "good" album? Wouldn't it be more logical to call it a mediocre (or bad) album with a few good tracks? |

| I wouldn't call a painting "good" if only the bottom third was good and the rest was boring / crap. :p |

There's more than enough decent music out there to have high standards. Unless you're lazy and you just want to hear music. |

Gotta agree with bojingles on this one. The whole is as good as the sum of its parts. If you make a milkshake with 2 parts delicious ice cream and 8 parts turd, it's still gonna be a crappy [ba-dum-bum] shake.
That's not the say the ice cream wouldn't taste great on its own! |
