About

No Skips Nation

We're No Skips Nation. #NoSkips is what we holler when a record holds from the first track to the last, and it's the stamp we put on the ones that earn it.

We rate albums, not playlists. You sit down, you play it front to back like it was meant to be heard, and you tell the truth about it. Pull up a chair.

Two numbers, every time

Every review gets a score from 1.0 to 10.0 and a skip count. You'll see it written like this: 9.4 / 1 SKIP. If we skipped a track, we'll tell you which one and why. No hedging, no "it's not for everybody."

Certified #NoSkipper

Certified #NoSkipper means a 10.0 and 0 skips. Both, every time. A 9.4 is a fine record, and you can argue it till the porch light goes off, but it doesn't get the seal. Certified gets earned. We don't hand it out to be nice.

Say your piece

Disagree all you want, just keep it clean and keep it about the record. Plain words hit harder anyhow.
