Christgau has this as self-titled. It was also released as Best of Ambassadeurs.
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.

Liliput - LiLiPUT [Off Course, 1993]: 8 (A-)
Two-disc compilation, which contains, among other things, their self-titled studio debut [Rough Trade, 1982].
Flipper - American Grafishy: liked
Might be a 7 (B+) (what’s so wrong with this that it gets panned by almost everyone?), but I owned it once and sold it off, and I’m not buying it again for more than a few bucks, which isn’t possible, so….
Various - Rock 'n' Roll High School (Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack): notation
I couldn’t find this to stream in its entirety, so I pieced together the songs I might not already have: “I Want You Around” (Ramones), “Come On Let's Go” (Paley Brothers/Ramones), “Ramones Medley” (Ramones), “Rock 'n' Roll High School” (P.J. Soles), and “A Dream Goes on Forever” (Todd Rundgren). I did listen to these three times each and won’t be assigning a grade to a partial album. I also played the Ramone's single “Carbona Not Glue” b/w “I Can’t Be” in the same way as part of this exercise for some reason.
