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.

Hamell on Trial - Tackle Box: 8 (A-)
Initially determined to skip this one at 7.5 (high B+) and # [anti-folk], but given Christgau's 9 (A), and that it's the only studio album of his that Tom Hull has given any variety of A grade to, I listened one more time and resolved to raise it to 8 (A-) and get it.
