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.

David Bowie - Let's Dance: 3.5 stars
Inspired to give this the obligatory three listens by its presence on the recent Pitchfork "best of the 80s" list. First three songs are so familiar as to be old hat, and I've never been a fan of those songs (although I admit Cat People is great). Rest are fine. Yes, his best-selling album. Also, I don't really collect him at this level. Besides, it's probably really 3 stars, and upped a notch for commercial performance.
