PLEASE REMEMBER: Our "cheezeball rating" system is NOT comparable to a "star rating" system. We are NOT rating the albums; we are rating the "cheeze content" of the albums. The cheezier we find an album, the more cheezeballs we award it. We don't like cheeze. Thus, if we award an album 4 or 5 cheezeballs, it is clear that we find the album distasteful. That said, however, please do not assume that a lower cheezeball rating automatically indicates a better album. A lower cheezeball rating merely indicates a lower cheeze content. And if you're having a problem with the term "cheeze," here's a provisional definition: "a nauseating aesthetic based upon the glorification of that which is schmaltzy, syrupy, sappy, sentimental, saccharine, slick, corny, overwrought, hackneyed, etc...think Wayne Newton, all greased up, decked out in rhinestones, and wearing way too much cologne."
