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.

Various: South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Music From and Inspired by the Motion Picture): 7.5 (high B+)

It's all in the parenthetical - soundtrack songs plus music inspired by the movie. I could not believe that Christgau gave this an 8 (A-), possibly an 8.5 (high A-), but, as always, disregard him at your peril. It grows on you. I don't even like the series/movie, but the songs are undeniably funny. Even the old lady laughed at some of them. In the end though, I could not get myself to spring for a copy. Docked a notch for silliness and inutility.
