Dread Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 There you have it! Tool's full tally until another album is released. They still got a B, barely. I rounded up from 72.5 to 73 for the B. Interesting that a "favorite band" of both of ours has six albums and only two are better than a B.

Dread Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 For an album that has a ton of my favorite songs, I'm surprised it's only C+ from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 If our overall score for GnR ends up higher than Tool, I quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 That's the rundown heading into the recording tonight of our last two albums for GNR. Get your feedback in on Guns N' Roses sometime in the next three-four hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Thanks, guys. I cannot wait to hear your thoughts about their final two albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Well, now that I've drunk myself to sleep, woken up and showered for 50-60 minutes I can say that I've perhaps begun to come to terms with what DW said last night.

Guest Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I just noticed that I've only been the more positive reviewer twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Negative Nelly! Actually, that's probably going to change on the next band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I must ask, what grading scale are you using for your letter grades? I have never seen such a thing. 50% as a C-? That is an F were I come from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 The grading scale we're on is what I've always seen through school as a student and teacher: 0-49: F 50-59: C- 60-66: C 67-72: C+ 73-85: B 86+: A 100: A+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 No D? Mine was: [0-59 - F] [60-69 - D] [70-83 - C] [84-93 - B] [94-100 - A]. I knew my school was harder, but damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I don't think it has anything to do with "harder." It's about scaling things. If something's an A, you give it an A. Pretty simple, really. The actual percentages don't really matter. But no, never any D's in high school here. Except my girlfriends! Ay-oh!

Pretty simple, really. The actual percentages don't really matter. See, as a math guy, percentages do matter to me. If on a quiz you get 9/10 correct, on your scale that is an A, on mine it is a B, thus making it 'harder' to get an A. Anyway, I basically just needed a reference to point to interpret the grades.

Guest Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Yeah, in my school, 90-100 was A, 80-89 was B, 70-79 was C, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Alright. That's cool. But since I'm doing it, I'm going to use my scale. If someone wants to change that, I won't be butthurt about it, but I also don't care enough to change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
