An Introduction

Rating system

When albums have a dedicated page, I often go through the effort of adding in a track listing which includes thoughts for some and ratings for most tracks. This rating system is mostly visual and unexplained, so it's good to get acquainted with it beforehand before diving into the other pages here. Hover over each rating for a better description of when a track falls under it.

• 0-Star Songs

  These are songs I've never really listened to and don't have an emotional connection with or thoughts about. They're included in the listing for visual guidance and to completely list all tracks of an album.

  Other ways of putting it:

  If you were to ask me to hum a medium-large part of the song, I couldn't.

  Visually, zero star songs are smaller and grayed out.

  (0 stars)
• 1-Star Songs

  These are songs that actively suck to listen to (because of bad mixing or a certain instrument/melody that just sounds unpleasant, for example). There are only a handful of tracks in my music library that fit this description.

  Visually, one star songs are smaller and colored red.

  (1 star)
• 2-Star Songs

  These songs are better than one star songs in that it isn't just completely unpleasant - they do include things I like! It's just that the unpleasant things outweigh the good things.

  Visually, two star songs are slightly smaller and grayed/redded out.

  (2 stars)
• 3-Star Songs

  Neutral. I've heard these tracks for a few times and there isn't anything particularly good or bad sticking out to me.

  Visually, three star songs have an unaltered appearance.

  (3 stars)
• 4-Star Songs

  Liked Tracks.

  Visually, four star songs have a small star to the right of them.

  (4 stars)
• 5-Star Songs

  Loved Tracks. I usually try to limit these to a small number of songs per album so it can be a good indicator of what to listen to if the album piques your interest.

  Visually, five star songs have a small heart to the right of them.

Unavailable Tracks

In some rare instances, the tracks I list here aren't officially available anywhere (at least digitally). The album is either so obscure that it's only available physically (as is the case with the Madorica Real Estate Collection) or I mixed together my own tracks (e.g. to make them loopable or to create custom mixes of multi-layered songs) and haven't uploaded them yet.

Terminology

Collections

Collections are what they sound like. They're a custom collection of songs, albums and tracks that are grouped by something other than the album they released with.

• Some are themed after artists and include a selection of songs I've heard from them (like the Wilbur Soot-, Intikus- or SiIvaGunner Collection).
• Others are themed after a general theme or genre of music (like the Ambience-, Soundcloud- or .spc File Collection).
• Some Collections are just multiple albums mashed into one, such as when there's a video game franchise and I don't want to have fifty albums for each game cluttering my Music Library (like the Jackbox Banger Pack or the Katamari Collection).
