Relatively new to the blog, I have a crack at reviewing new album releases, which brings a new ranking system...

​

Grade A: The best of the best; albums which have a very strong variety of tracks while also taking some ambitious steps into new territory.

Grade B: A great album with a variety of tracks while also maintaining the artist's strengths. They're only missing that spark of ambition to expand into other areas and diversify their reach.

Grade C: A decent album which gives what you'd expect from the artist but either ends up feeling quite samey whether it's a lack of variety in the album or too many similarities to the previous release.

Grade D: A lackluster offering which doesn't do enough to showcase the artist's talents, be it basic themes, compositions or an overall lack of effort.

Grade F: The weakest albums of the bunch; records that pander too much to the latest irksome trends in the music industry and come off as incredibly uninspired.
