My Ranking System:
My ranking system contains numbers and letters. While the number rating expresses preference, the letter rating is simply for classification purposes and does not express preference (i.e. I will not necessary like a (2A/5) more than a (2B/5) or vice-versa).
(0/5): Only one song has achieved this ranking: Shape of You by Ed Sheeran.
(1/5): Terrible.
- (1A/5): Soulless - For me, these tracks don’t express any creativity whatsoever. (Ex. Who Dem VIP - Myro)
- (1B/5): Annoying - I find these tracks extremely irritating. Either through deliberate choice or through shoddy production, something really gets in the way of my enjoyment. (Ex. Get $ - WATEVA, Fiveight)
(2/5): Bad. While not atrocious, still very difficult to enjoy.
- (2A/5): Uninspired - While not entirely soulless, still doesn’t do anything particularly interesting and ultimately feels derivative and bland. (Ex. Ones You Miss - R3HAB)
- (2B/5): Confusing - Just makes some choices that I don’t particularly like but don’t entirely hate. (Ex. Kara Throw - FloodDubs, Cactus Flower)
(3/5): Neutral. Don’t like it, don’t dislike it, it’s middle of the road. Wouldn’t go out of my way to listen to it, but probably wouldn’t skip it either.
- (3A/5): Existent - Just kinda there. Nothing really draws my attention, I don’t have any strong opinions. Maybe a bit boring, but not overtly so. (Ex. Find You - Martin Garrix, Justin Mylo ft. Dewain Whitmore)
- (3B/5): Balanced - Has good elements and bad elements which ultimately balance each other out. (Ex. Treading Water - Said the Sky)
- (3C/5): Not For Me - Does some really cool things, just doesn’t really fit my taste. I feel a bit bad about giving out this ranking, because while I don’t exactly like these tracks, I do have a lot of respect for the effort it took to make them. (Ex. The Difference - Flume, Toro y Moi)
(4/5): Good. At this point, it’s going in my Liked Songs on Spotify. I would never complain if one of these started playing.
- (4A/5): Decent Concept, Great Execution - Does nothing wrong and enough things right to make it enjoyable. (Ex. Breathe - Jay Eskar)
- (4B/5): Great Concept, Decent Execution - Overall pretty good, but has some aspects that hold it back from being great without making it completely unenjoyable. (Ex. Downpour - LAYZ)
(5/5): Great. Nothing gets in the way of enjoyment even in the slightest. No sub-categories for this one. (Ex. Nyma - Bougenvilla)
(6/5) aka Sixes: Beyond the scale. My absolute favorites. These are just so good that I don’t think 5/5 fully encapsulates how I feel about them. (Ex. Waterfall - ROY KNOX, Ellen Louise)
