~ Album Reviews ๐Ÿ’ฟ ~

Ah, welcome to the page that is dedicated solely to album & EP ๐Ÿ’ฟ reviews. LPs and EPs of various styles are evaluated in this section of The Musical Hype โ€“ we donโ€™t discriminate. Album reviews are also available on the home page. More often than not, the album reviews on the site tend to follow a track-by-track format, commencing with an intro paragraph comprised of background information, and concluding paragraph that wraps things up.ย Also, GEMS โ€“ the best, highly recommended tracks โ€“ are selected at the end of each review. Each album also receives a star rating, on a scale of 0 โ€“ 5 (ยฝ stars are used as well), that is visible at the beginning and ending of the review.

5 out of 5 stars = MASTERPIECE

4.5 out of 5 stars = NEAR MASTERPIECE

4 out of 5 stars = EXCELLENT

3.5 out of 5 stars = VERY GOOD

3 out of 5 stars = AVERAGE / GOOD

2.5 out of 5 stars = BELOW AVERAGE

2 out of 5 stars = MEDIOCRE

1.5 out of 5 stars, 1 out of 5 stars, 0.5 out of 5 stars, 0 out of 5 stars = BAD

It should not come as a surprise to see the analysis run north of, say, 1000 words. So, music enthusiasts everywhere โ€“ Musical Hypeians worldwide โ€“ get your fix of album reviews down below!!!
