I never understood the point system, actually. 0.0 to 10. That's, what, 101 possibilities for a score? How do they factor this? How can you listen to a record and know, out of 101 possibilities, what to score something? I can understand.. you know.. rating out of 1-5 or 1-10, or whatever; that seems pretty simple. But 101 different possibilities for a score?
Can you imagine the dilemmas (you know, if their scores weren't based upon ad revenue, rock-star-cocksucking, record label handjobs, and their own public image): "Man. I just gotta call somebody up. This record is totally deserving of an 8 or 9. But I gotta think of the number after the demical point. An 8.5? No, too high... 8.4? Eh. That looks like I don't know if this deserves an 8 or a 9! Dilemmas!"
(oh wait, somebody just called the writer up and said, "Such and such shit band's record label just bought ad space! You better give them a good score!"
"Oh shit," says the writer, "This record is 8.6 yo! Problem solved!"
