9/10 for the music- it's good stuff. I don't particularly care for that show, but the music is definitely good.

Meh.  8/10.

Bon Jovi - Livin' on a prayer

[mesaprotector]

Meh.  8/10.

8/10 = "Meh"? <-- I love that smiley.

I give an 8/10 to the song, but I liked it. For rock, it's quite good.

[bucky1andonly]

8/10 for what exactly, i did post a few things, and 8/10 is meh?  what is 9/10 or 10/10?   9/10 = was ok, 10/10 = i listened to it?

[Contrary]

Maybe it's 2/10 for each song, and he added the scores up.

10/10
Very soothing.

[johannhowitzer]

7/10, mostly for presentation.  I'd label it "canned," as far as film music goes; it uses aeolian mode exclusively, the melody hovers around the root and uses nothing nonharmonic; pedal tones are overused; strong beat patterns sound "epic," but never leave the beat.  Good production values, but uninteresting and unmemorable.

To expand on the question of what ratings mean: I would give "meh" a 5/10.  1/10 is horrible and ear-bleeding.  3/10 is something I actually dislike but can bear for a little while.  7/10 is good, usually showing skill or at least good presentation, and not in a style I object to.  8/10 shows some characteristic I really enjoy, but I might not care for the whole.  9/10 is shy of perfect, has parts I don't care for, but overall something I would listen to on a regular basis.  10/10 is something that I would listen to daily, and gives me chills most of the time.  Disclaimer: I may not have adhered strictly to this, as I'm making it up right now, and was more or less going with my gut earlier.

Related note: I dislike rating systems that never put anything below a 5 or 6.

^This. I tend to be very tight with ratings above 8, but other than that I pretty much use the same guidelines.

6/10

It's not bad. Nice, but not terribly interesting. It sounds like the sort of music that might play during the opening credits to a movie.

[Aves]

Cool system. I'm sticking with my gut feeling, though I may borrow some points from your guidelines.

1/10. 1 for the originality, and no points for anything else. It had some interesting sounds... but that's not exactly what I'm looking for in what I listen to.

7/10

Epic, but the steady 4/4 beat got to me after a while. The beginning, on the other hand, was beautiful.

[johannhowitzer]

7/10, typical Zimmer fare - pleasing but you take nothing home with you.  Likely a more useful backdrop than a standalone, as with much of The Dark Knight.

Since we're on a movie kick, here's my favorite piece from one of my favorite movies; I am stunned by Howard's ability to stretch tension through two hours' worth of film with three notes, then flip them on their head at the very end in such a way as to create a sense of relief.  It's similar to the effect produced by the modal alteration of the Uruk'hai theme used by another Howard when Barad-dur fell.
