Before Nov 2020, grades range from 5 stars 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+), 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are honorable mention :-), neutral :-|, negative :-(. At least 3 listens per album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. [I shelved/sold 10,000-12,000 albums before starting this blog and will add entries for some of those as they come up. If you don't see an album, it doesn't mean I don't know it.]

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.
