Diary of a Melomaniac

Before 11/2020, grades range from 5 to 3.5 stars. After that, grade range is: 10 (A+), 9.5 (high A), 9 (A), 8.5 (high A-), 8 (A-), 7.5 (high B+), and 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are noted as liked :-) (honorable mention), neutral :-|, and disliked :-(. At least 4 listens per graded album and 3 listens per ungraded album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. I sold/shelved ~10,000 albums after at least 3 or 4 listens, respectively, before starting this blog and will add entries for those as they arise.

Los Umbrellos - Flamenco Funk: 9 (A)


I appear to be the only person who knows of this album. They made it just for me. A minor masterwork of kitsch in my opinion.

Decent bootleg of very good live performance. Collected when officially released.

Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique: 10 (A+)


Second-best album of all time in my opinion, after Exile, and before Slanted and Enchanted.
