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. # [junk rock]
