Album ratings

Welcome to this new section of my blog. Here I will rate and quickly review albums by artists. I try to rate all or most of the albums by the artist to give you a buyer's guide to find the best albums.

The list below are mainly artists I like and if there is a link you can see a list of the albums rated by me. Keep returning here to see if there are new ratings for artists.

Feel free to comment on the albums yourself!

The 5-star ratings:

* - bad
** - poor
*** - mediocre
**** - good
***** - perfect
