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 liked (fka honorable mention) :-), neutral :-|, and negative :-(. At least 3 listens per posted album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. I shelved/sold ~10,000 albums after at least 3 listens before starting this blog and will add entries for those as they come up. Yes, I know that album (probably).

Sonic Youth - Battery Park, NYC - July 4th 2008: 3.5 stars
I agree with Tom Hull on this one, rather than Christgau. The latter was at the show, so he's probably not 100% objective in giving it a full A. He also names it "Kim's album" or something like that, so it's also going to increase his "female record" count. As a final nail in its coffin -- it's vinyl only. So stupid.
