About
I’ve been a soundtrack enthusiast since the release of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. This sparked a new passion for collecting soundtracks, and I now have a wealth of knowledge spanning nearly two decades. I’m excited to share my thoughts with the world on both well-known and lesser-known soundtracks.
The methodology I employ relies on my personal reviews of tracks, complemented by basic arithmetic. I furnish both a weighted average album review and a straightforward average rating for all albums.
How the scoring works
Every track on an album gets a rating out of 5. Two album scores are then computed from those ratings:
Time weighted — each track’s rating is weighted by its runtime, so a brilliant ten-minute centerpiece counts for more than a thirty-second interlude.
Track weighted — every track counts equally, a simple average. Albums with lots of short filler tend to score lower here.
A handful of truly exceptional tracks are rated above 5 on purpose — those land in the Hall of Fame.
The catalogue currently spans 30 albums and 825 rated tracks across 26 composers. Scores are recomputed automatically from the underlying data.
