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.]

The Donner Party - Donner Party [Cryptovision, 1987]: 3.5 stars
Another good one, but not buying used. There's also Complete Recordings 1987-1989, which has this, the Pitch-A-Tent release, and a third, previously unreleased album, all of which are good, none of which are great, and none of which is selling at a price that is worth the content. But a band worth knowing. I will listen the the third album another couple times, but doubt I will love that one any more than the first two. I like this one marginally better than the second one. Might even be an A minus.
