Before Nov 2020, grades range from 5 stars 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+), 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are honorable mention :-), neutral :-|, negative :-(. At least 3 listens per album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. [I shelved/sold 10,000-12,000 albums before starting this blog and will add entries for some of those as they come up. If you don't see an album, it doesn't mean I don't know it.]

Kurt Vile - Wakin on a Pretty Daze: 3.5 stars
We get it -- you're way baked. This and his prior album -- Smoke Ring for My Halo -- are very, extremely similar, and all the reviews seem to back this up. Don't really feel the need to have two of his works in the collection, as well as that The War on Drugs album, so I'll go with my old standby: All else being equal, the earlier one gets the nod. But they're both good.
