Using this scale:
10 - Once in a LIFETIME masterpiece. If an album ever gets this score, then you can safely conclude that I believe no other album will ever be as good as this one. Reserved for magnum opuses only.
9.0-9.9 - A great album that I've been listening to over and over. This is home to genre "classics".
8.0-8.9 - Excellent, memorable, exemplary. A great album that I personally love. An album towards the upper echelon in this tier could land in the top of the year. These albums have few flaws.
7.0-7.9 - Noteworthy, commendable entry in an artist's career. An overall solid album.
6.0-6.9 - Enjoyable album worth checking out. Has some weak songs, but overall is nice. If you're a fan of the artist you might really enjoy this release, but I wasn't head over heels for it.
^^^^^ I ENJOYED THE ALBUM ^^^^^
5.0-5.9 - Average. Some good tracks, some bad.
vvvvv I DID NOT ENJOY THE ALBUM vvvvvv
4.0-4.9 - Disappointing, though with moments that show potential.
3.0-3.9 - Unpleasant, cringe inducing, with the occasional instance of decency. Has one or two good tracks.
2.0-2.9 - Wack on all counts. It's not enjoyable at all, really. There may be slight potential in here, however.
1.0-1.9 - Probably the worst album of the year.
0-.9 - If you like this album... I don't know what to say.

Originally scheduled for release in December 1966 or January 1967, Capitol Records continuously pushed back the release date of the highly-anticipated album and put considerable pressure on the Beach Boys, who were ultimately forced to abandon their planes for an independent record label. Capitol released “Here Today”, b/w “You Still Believe in Me” as a single in January 1967 to fill the gap. Smile was finally released on May 20, 1967, right as the band’s popularity and reputation in the US was slipping amidst the rise of the psychedelic era. Containing a gatefold cover, a booklet of photos and illustrations, liner notes, and lyrics, it was one of the first LPs to use its packaging as an extension of the musical experience. The album initially polarized critics, with many celebrating it as an artistic triumph and Brian Wilson’s magnum opus, and others dismissing it as confusing and unfocused. Capitol’s rigorous promotion allowed it to reach number one on the Billboard album chart for five weeks, replacing the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (which had been released only a week after Smile), and certified Platinum by the RIAA by the end of the decade. The success and acclaim of Smile gave the Beach Boys a reinvigorated popularity and artistic veneration, and an alternate version of “Heroes and Villains” was a top five hit. In 1968, Smile won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Today’ the album is considered one of the greatest and most important in pop music history. In 2004, it was ranked number 7 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list.
Smile was, for the most part, welcomed and hailed by critics. Most reviewers highlighted the album’s musical variety, conceptual lyrics, and production feats, and saw it as a unique bridge between pop and psychedelia. A brief review in Billboard raved, “The Beach Boys’ long-anticipated return is an astonishing triumph of production and musicality. The Beatles should take notes.” England’s NME said, “Beautiful melodies and daring conceptual bounds colour this knock-out of an LP, the group’s first in over a year. Pet Sounds was just the beginning. This is the all-American psychedelic masterpiece we were promised and much, much more.” Robert Christgau of the Village Voice wrote, “the Beach Boys’ new album is the grand-slam response to Sgt. Pepper’s blow”, and readers of the Voice later voted it one of the year’s best releases. Composer Leonard Bernstein lauded Smile in a lengthy analysis in the New York Times, declaring it “the culmination of everything inventive and exciting in today’s pop music”, and commended Wilson and Parks’ ability to blend contemporary sounds with classical, baroque, and jazz elements in a way that “elevates the pop record to a level of art that could hold its own against any of the most classic pieces of our elder generation”.
At the 9th Grammy Awards in 1968, Smile was nominated for nine awards, including Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal album, and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. It won all but the latter. Brian Wilson won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for “Surf’s Up”, and the Beach Boys as a whole won Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. Smile was in heated competition with Sgt. Pepper’s, and Brian personally thought it was better than Smile.
