Blog
Dropsintheocean is a music review site. The music that will be review will mostly be Jpop, Kpop and Cpop, with English coming in every so often. Some artists will get their whole discographies reviewed, while others won’t. The ones that do get it done will most likely have their discography done in order, though it is possible that an album/single might be review regardless of time or order.
Ranks
An important thing that should be said is how I rate CDs/songs. I do not use the Grade system (A, B, C) nor do I use the normal number system (100% is perfect). My rating is based on the 1 to 10 scale. This means that there is no failing.
Here is the basic outline:
0~1: Horrible
1~2: Very poor
2~3: Poor
3~4: Missing something
4~5: Below Average
5: Average
5~6: Above Average
6~7: Nice
7~8: Good
8~9: Great
9~10: Amazing
So if you see a cd rated at 3, don’t suspect that it’s a fail. I just think it’s missing something and isn’t amazing.
As well, I hope you respect my opinions because we are all different.
Addition (2007.10.24)
Sometimes, I feel as though some album or singles don’t have a high enough mark because of certain songs that drag it down. Likewise with songs that I feel have marks that are too high. So I’ve decided that now I will be adding numbers of the side of the overall mark that either add or subtract to the mark, to show how I personally feel about the album/single as a whole.
For example: BoA’s LISTEN TO MY HEART album had a mark of 7.1. I feel that it deserves an 8.0, so I add (+0.9) to the side of that. Now, the mark will come out as 7.1 (+0.9). The 7.1 reflects the albums quality by the marks of each song, however the added 0.9 represents the amount I feel the album really deserves.

If you have any questions, please post here. You can also REQUEST for a review here and I’ll see if I can do it or not.
Hey! Thanks for stopping by Highway-Chance. It was great to hear from you. I really like your blog thus far! I haven’t really ever listened to Kpop, but I do find it interesting. If I was planning on learning another language [saving it for college…] it would definitely be korean. Anyway, I’ve added you to my blogroll, so you’re all set! Thanks for reading 🙂 I’ll be back.
I’m in love with that BoA banner <333
