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.

Superchunk - What a Time to Be Alive: neutral
Not sure what Christgau (#12 of 2018 and full A) hears in this. I note that people who have given it good reviews (like the one on Allmusic) all do seem to like the fact that it's overtly "political," by which they mean neoliberal. Triangulating between Christgau, AllMusic user and critic reviews, and AOTY, I'm sticking with I Hate Music and Majesty Shredding, neither of which I really like all that much, but I already have them. They really do need someone else to try vocals. Four listens.
