Upped from 7 (B+). I also watched the entire film and would give it a 7.5 (high B+). There's a part of me that thinks I erred in grading this 8 (A-), and should probably give the audio a 7.5 (high B+) too and # [soundtrack] it , but I'm not sure that works with this. I suppose my rationale is that there is no Blu-ray Disc or even DVD of this, so I will settle for the CD. I also note that Christgau and Hull give this A- and A, respectively, and those guys are smarter than I am, have heard more than I have, and have better taste than I do, so perhaps I'm deferring to them.
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.
