Also, GEMS – the best, highly recommended tracks – are selected at the end of each review. 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
