Since it's the 12th, we can now discuss the album according to Bosk. Anyway...

To keep the thread easy for everyone to see, I think it would be a good idea to have two standard rating systems to keep it level and easy to read through the thread.

Rating System 1:
100 - Perfect
90's - Excellent
80's - Very good
70's - Good
60's - Decent
50's - Neutral
40's and below - Poor

Rating System 2:
10 - Perfect
9- Excellent
8- Very good
7 - Good
6 - Decent
5 - Neutral
4 and below - Poor

My rating of ADTOE:
On The Backs of Angels - 85+
Build Me Up, Break Me Down - 80
Lost Not Forgotten - 85
This Is The Life - 85
Bridges In The Sky - 90+
Outcry - 90+
Far From Heaven / Breaking All Illusions - 95
Beneath The Surface - 90+

note: the + means it's a few points higher, didn't want to get confusing with random numbers

Overall, I rank ADTOE as DT's 4th best album. It's fantastic!

On the Backs of Angels - 80
Build Me Up, Break Me Down - 75+
Lost Not Forgotten - 85
This is the Life - 75+
Bridges in the Sky -  95
Outcry - 90
Far From Heaven/Breaking All Illusions - 95+
Beneath the Surface - 95

Third best DT album for me. Could potentially become #2 at some point, I love every minute of this album.

So if a song has a score below 40, it's bad, unless the score is 10?

The ratings don't mean that much since they are a bit arbitrary (one persons 80 might be another's 90), and it depends on what you're comparing them to (in the context of all music pretty much all these would be in the "excellent" category), but mainly just for the sake of how they compare to each other:

Othe Backs of Angels - 85+
Build Me Up, Break Me Down - 75+
Lost Not Forgotten - 75
This is the Life - 80
Bridges in the Sky -  90
Outcry - 95
Far From Heaven - 70
Breaking All Illusions - 95+
Beneath the Surface - 85

Wow, this album is getting great reviews! Were the reactions like this when Black Clouds came out? I know that now it's more in the middle of the rankings when it comes to the majority of fans.

BCSL has always been lower half to me. It's still great though.

ADTOE is my 2nd fav now, and I think it will remain there.

Well what did the majority of the people think about the album?

FlyingBIZKIT

That it was at least their 10th best album ( at the time)

Hmm, that kind of goes against what Bizkit said though. Well, if those ratings are true, then it'll be interesting to see if ADTOE's quality will decrease over time for the majority of fans like it did for BC&SL.

He was making a joke. You get how "at least 10th best" is... never mind.

Probably will, for some people to some extent.  Everything is at its best when it's new and shiny.
