About Riff Economy

Riff Economy is a blog dedicated to finding and reviewing the latest new music. Each review comes with a rating.

Exceptional: Reserved for the very best. These releases rise above the rest and are likely to stand the test of time.

See: Good Kid M.A.A.D City, In Rainbows, Remain in Light, Lonerism, Is This It

Good: For strong releases that are well worth your time. These may not be perfect but the good far outweighs the bad.

See: Currents, AM, A Deeper Understanding, Skinty Fia, In Waves, Wet Leg

Mid: Not Good, not necessarily bad but unremarkable. Maybe some good moments but nothing that compelling.

See: Anything released by Foo Fighters

Bad: Generally poor releases, with perhaps some reedeming features buried away somewhere.

See: Anything released by Muse

Terrible: Absolutley no redeeming features.
