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.

Fleshtones - Roman Gods: 7 (B+)
I only could find 9 out of 11 tracks on YouTube, but that's enough to grade in a pinch. The two songs I could not hear are “Hope Comes Back” and “Chinese Kitchen," and I sampled both of them. More of the same. I plan to review Living Legends Series, which drops those two songs from this one, as well as “The Dreg (Fleshtone-77)” and “R-I-G-H-T-S.” I like it because it’s on IRS, was remastered, was issued in the early CD-era, and is only on CD. And it’s relatively judicious, at just over an hour. None of this is true for It's Super Rock Time!: The I.R.S. Years 1980-1985, which has 9 out of 11 from this, except also being CD-only. But with this additional listening, I’ve listened to most of Roman Gods about 7 times, but I've still never heard it front-to-back. #junkrock
