Neumu's rating system for albums is as follows:[3]
- 10 — All-time classic. One of the best albums in the history of recorded music. Desert Island material for sure.
- 9 — Perfection. Nirvana. Almost as good as sex. We saw god, or at least experienced some kind of revelation.
- 8 — Exceptional album. We like everything about it.
- 7 — Consistently great album with several standout tracks.
- 6 — We like this a lot and think you will too.
- 5 — Good, solid album. If you like the artist's other recordings, this is probably worth your time.
- 4 — Most of this is pretty good.
- 3 — Some of this isn't bad. But most is.
- 2 — Not even suitable as a coaster to place cold drinks on.
- 1 — Makes you regret that you have ears.
