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 liked (fka honorable mention) :-), neutral :-|, and negative :-(. At least 3 listens per posted album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. I shelved/sold ~10,000 albums after at least 3 listens before starting this blog and will add entries for those as they come up. Yes, I know that album (probably).

The Chills - Kaleidoscope World: 8 (A-)
This is the 18-track version released on Flying Nun in 1989 (FNE 13CD). I'll listen to the 6 extra bonus tracks on the 2016 re-release, but don't expect to post anything about them, unless they somehow make or break the collection. Note, this contains the entirety of The Lost EP, as well as the original 8-track Kaleidoscope World, plus some other tracks. Not all great, but necessary for any kind of fan of the band. [Upped from 7.5 (high B+). Upped grade is for the 2016 re-release, which I ended up getting of course. Beautiful package and great sound. And the 6 extra bonus tracks are worth having.]
