Presently, what matters most to me is just casting my vote on an album, but I've been too generous with the 5-star rating as of recently, so I intend at some point to revisit all the albums I've rated heretofore, and sincerely contemplate what I truly believe the album deserves, overall.
Most of the tracks on an album are either a hit-or-miss for me; I'll either like it outright, or I won't, with few instances of ambivalence in between. With that criteria in mind, I suppose it just becomes a matter of how many tracks are present on the album I like, compared to how many I don't care for, similar to what Hellacia's said. Of course, my tastes can change at some point, and there's always the possibility of revisiting an album, only to leave with a few more favorites than before.
