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.

Steve Gibbons Band - Down in the Bunker [Polydor, 1978]: 7.5 (high B+)
I originally categorized this as #pubrock and was going to pass on that basis, but it's not really that, and I ended up with a beautiful vinyl copy. Christgau calls it "postpub." It's really just plain old 1970s rock (MOR?). Maybe that's what Christgau meant.
