Superstar
Most 5 star systems weigh average around 3 stars. Anything less is considered bad. Although 2.5 is the actual middle rating it is still considered badIt's interesting how they didn't mention Jonathan "Shecky Green" Schecter when they were talking about the beginning of the magazine. Mays acting like he founded it himself
Also there is no way the writers had full say on the mics when they were getting advertising money from the labels. If you look back at the ratings most albums got at least 3 or 3 1/2 which is like saying the majority of albums were above average which is not true. There were a lot of albums that deserved 1's and 2's
