If it helps, of the over 1050+ releases I’ve rated I’ve only ever given four albums a perfect 10/10 score. 84 9s, 239 8s, 345 7s, 253 6s, 91 5s, 41 4s, and 6 3s (don’t see much point is wasting my time on anything less enjoyable than that), so while I stand by my rating I think it’s worth noting that my 7s are probably comparable to a lot of people’s 8s.
Not a notch below 8 for me
