Understanding Whisp.fm’s Rating System
At Whisp.fm, we are committed to providing honest, insightful reviews that capture the essence of every song. Our rating system is designed to evaluate songs across multiple dimensions, ensuring that every aspect is considered fairly and accurately.
Please note, however, that our ratings are subjective and reflect the individual perspective of our reviewers.
Whisp.fm Rating Scale:
Our rating system uses a 10-point scale to assess songs and albums. Each song is evaluated based on key elements like lyrics, music, production, and more. The final score reflects our overall judgment of the song’s quality, with the goal of giving you a comprehensive view of its strengths and weaknesses.
For albums, we are still in the process of establishing the factors we will use for evaluation. Stay tuned for updates as we refine our album rating approach.
