I agree with Sarge. I don't think it's really fair to assign a number score (even though it's commonly done) to something like music, which is so subjective. That's why I chose not to assign scores in my review of HIAH. I just know what I like and what I don't when it comes to music, and I of course don't expect that everyone would agree with me. I'll never make a statement such as, "Record X is Artist Y's best album ever", because there is just no way to objectively measure that. I like what I like, regardless of how others feel, although it is often helpful to get feedback from others who like many of the same things I do. But, as Sarge said, I think it's more helpful to read why someone liked or disliked a song/album than just a number score.
