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 liked (fka honorable mention) :-), neutral :-|, and negative :-(. At least 4 listens per graded album and 3 listens per ungraded album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. I shelved/sold ~10,000 albums after at least 4 or 3 listens, respectively, before starting this blog and will add entries for those as they come up.

Fountains of Wayne - Fountains of Wayne [honorable mention]
:-) [Christgau gave this and the second one A minuses, but neither appeared in his year-end lists, or, more tellingly, in his 1990s book. Anyway, I take this as a sign that he doesn't really think they're better than B plus, and I obviously think they're a notch below that.]
