anyway due to even more boredom, i upgraded my rubrics to make it more fair.

my newer album grading standard:
- average grade of all the songs
- if 4 or more songs on the album are at least 4.5/5, the album gets 5 stars automatically.
- if 7 or more songs on the album are at least 4/5, the album gets 4.5 stars automatically.
- if 7 of the at least 4/5 songs consist of at 2 or 3 4.5/5 songs, the album gets 5 stars automatically.
