1.5 stars even. Fucking hate it when places do stuff like that, either make up your mind or have a 10 or 100 point system.

Wow, when it comes to expressing your views on ratings systems, you certainly don't do things by halves!

One of my pet hates, for some reason. Why have a "house style" if you're just going to ignore it because you can't make up your mind?

I know what you mean, on one level it does seem silly, but then I guess a lot of writers have it imposed upon them… if you genuinely think an album is significantly better than one you just gave 1 star too, but undeniably not as good as the one you just gave 2 stars too, you might feel like you're critically obliged to wilfully ignore integers now and again… I know I would, I'd be a frequent wilful integer ignorer.

But I'd prefer to have marks out of say, a hundred to start with I suppose, which I guess is your point. I just think you're hating the player, dude, and not the game.

I hate the guy who gave Lifeblood 1.5/5. I'd say he deserves the hate

Oh yeah, I'm with you on that one, definitely. That is both player and game to blame.

Using ½ scores is for people who are trapped in the inanity and awkwardness of a five point system but realise they cannot escape from it, thus resorting to breaking the rules within the constraints.

[allisvanity]

Fucking hate Wake Up Boo! That's a bad sign. Hah!

[Manicben]

I would worry, but nothing Nicky compares the songs to ever seems to fit. Or is that just me?

[FacelessSenseOfVoid]

FFS! Wake up Boo, one of the most annoying songs of the 90s. Come on MSP, you can do better!
