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.

Eric Clapton - Backless [honorable mention]
:-) [Possibly a B plus, but the traditional blues songs and some of the dreckier material holds me back. Plus # [blues]. I was tempted to have Glyn Johns' back-to-back productions with Clapton (including Slowhand), but with Christgau's B minus and its placement on Allmusic, I'm grading it honorable mention and moving on. It really might be a B plus though.]
