Each album also receives a star rating, on a scale of 0 – 5 (½ stars are used as well), that is visible at the beginning and ending of the review. = MASTERPIECE = NEAR MASTERPIECE = EXCELLENT = VERY GOOD = AVERAGE / GOOD = BELOW AVERAGE = MEDIOCRE , , , = BAD

- More Columns Ah, the Columns, the columns! The columns on The Musical Hype encompass a variety of articles. Some of these articles have a shelf life, while others are more evergreen (content maintains its relevance sans a set expiration date). Even though some columns are evergreen, they don’t necessarily fit the more expansive Evergreen category, which features bigger posts such as playlists.
