━━━ guide

  • album/single - artist [✮ rating ✩]
  • = one of my favorite releases from this year/something i listen to very often
  • side note: these are personal, highly opinionated ratings! some songs are just not my style and immediately turn me off. also, i actually have a lot more releases to rate/review, but most albums i have not listened to in full so i have excluded them from this list. any albums/singles without a rating means that i have not finished listening to it. they are currently in queue to be listened to.

━━━ brief rating explanation

  • five stars: (these are usually year favorites) everything about the album/song is amazing and an album/song i'd probably always have in my personal library of music downloaded.
  • four stars: i love many of the tracks or most of the album/song! but, some tracks or components of the track(s) are not as likable.
  • three stars: the song/album sounds nice, but is not something i would listen to again. (some three star ratings may have no favorite tracks from an album)
  • two stars: i did not really like the album/song. maybe two or one track is likable.
  • one star: i stopped listening to the song/album midway. (none to exist thus far this year!)
