I've picked up a few Beatles singles this past month or two at the booty fairs (Just seem to have a knack for finding them like I'm a Beatle magnet or something (sadly not as far as albums go though)). Some look good, but play terribly, others look like someone tried to use scrub the outside wall of their house with, but sound great... so I would venture to suggest a kind of animal hide equivalent audio grading system: 5: A smooth beast, all music, no fuzz 4: Suede, a little fuzz, but no impediment to the music. 3: Mogwai, a covering of short hair, fluffy sounding, but not yet entirely unpleasant 4: Poodle: A mass of curly hair that entirely distorts the shape of the animal 5: Cousin It, What the F... Or maybe a reference to the visual... If I said this record sounds positively Cubist, you'd be given to understand that it's all ungodly angles and pops and clicks and spasms that leaves you wondering just what on earth the original subject was!
