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.

Lori McKenna - The Bird & the Rifle: 8 (A-)
This is all I will end up having by her (see review of Unglamorous). Christgau gave it an A- but later named it his number five album of 2016, above eight or so full A's, so clearly he upgraded it to full A. Hull likes it as only one of two albums at A- from her, and it's her highest rated album on AllMusic by users. So this is the one I will keep.
