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

Soukouss Vibration - Pot Pourri: 3.5 stars
Like the label (Afro-Rhythmes), guitar is fantastic (Diblo and Nene - not sure how I missed this in my Diblo total search), and songs are good. But it sounds like one big track (ie, it's a little samey) -- in fact I think it is, with manufactured pauses between tracks -- it's almost impossible to find, and it has drum programming and cheesy keyboards, so I'll skip this in physical despite the grade. Really 4 stars for the guitar though.
