I'm all for the idea of individual track ratings, and an overall average album rating determined from the track ratings. However one niggle I have would be if this average is indicative of the quality of the album in general. For instance, an album could have its fair share of filler tracks which all score abysmally, but other tracks are pretty stellar and lift the quality of the album significantly. Whether the gap between an average rating and a more generalised rating would be sizable or whether it would be slight and insignificant would vary from album to album I imagine, based on criteria such as the number of tracks, number of filler tracks, etc.
So yeah, basically I think that two different album ratings would work the best, one as an average of the individual scores, one as a general score. But this will indeed be very difficult to implement, I imagine.
