Overall: The sum of my perceived quality of the songs with my level of enjoyment while listening to it.

Song Quality: How good the album is based on songs alone. Intended to balance the overall score and admit an album may be better (or in some cases, worse) than I give it credit for, though sometimes it will match up with the overall. This number affects how high an album can rise within its enjoyment category.

Enjoyment: How enjoyable the album is to listen to as a full album; longevity also plays a role in this as some albums burn out quickly while others have great staying power. This also affects which category an album is placed in, and ultimately how high up the handbook it is possible for an album to go.

Categories:
★★★★★: Best in show; pinnacle.
★★★★1/2: Very nearly perfect.
★★★★: Excellent; top of the pile.
★★★1/2: Very good; minor flaws.
★★★: Good; recommended for fans.
★★1/2: Average; fails to meet expectations.
★★: Unexceptional; few highlights.
★1/2: Weak; truly bland.
★: Seriously flawed; very poor work.
1/2: Terrible; a true embarrassment.

Great Tracks: Anything rated 4 or above.
