When you boys review music, do you prefer to go song for song; like if the album has 10, you like 8 then the album is an 8/10
Or do you prefer to judge as a coherent overall piece, possibly if there's a conceptual theme giving it more weight over songforsong.
What do you do Sup Forums

Kinda, though if I really like all the songs except one, it's still a 10/10 for me.
depends on the type of album, if it's an album with a theme I'll take it into account, if it's an album where the songs are loosely tied together or not at all I just judge them individually
>mfw I share my board with these people
Liking every song in an album doesn't make it a 10/10. you can like every song and it can still be a 6/10.

Breaking news! A degenerate weeb fucks shit up literally every time!
More at 11.
It all depends on how much you like them.
I dont give it a number out of ten, that would be stupid

*hums earthmover*
Why is /10 stupid?
because it does absolutely nothing to review the music
Judge it as a whole.
It's only stupid if you just shit out a number, because people's scales can be different, and it does nothing to convey what you liked or what you didn't. With even a couple sentences detailing your thoughts, a score is fine, IMO. It's like a very thin summary, if that makes sense at all.
I guess it would depend on the genre. A pop record that's more a collection of singles I'd view as the former, albums made to be cohesive I'd view the as latter.
Side thought but related, because of the latter I do think an album can be a 10/10 while still having flaws, in the same way that a flawed and non-perfect voice (think Jeff Mangum) can add emotion and heighten the quality of a track more than a technically perfect voice (which sometimes comes off as soulless). So in that sense I could probably have an album that I consider perfect even if I dislike a song, though I can't think of one like that.
I just go based off the album cover. The better the cover the better the album.
That's like saying you shouldn't have a title and only a large summary in the form of several paragraphs because titles don't properly convey your feelings.
A rating isn't meant to be an elaborate form of judgement
>A rating isn't meant to be an elaborate form of judgement
No, but that's the first (and sometimes only) thing most people look at in a review.
You rate things for yourself, not for others to see.
a rating would be one thing but OP is asking about reviewing the music.
also a rating only carries much meaning when its in a collection of other records that have been rated.
are you baiting or literally just fucking retarded?
I don't review music. If I like something I keep listening to it and if I don't, I stop. Thats the extent of it.
You sound like a fag dude.
Nah
she's jailbait
