Before Nov 2020, grades range from 5 stars 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 album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. [I shelved/sold 10,000-12,000 albums before starting this blog and will add entries for some of those as they come up. If you don't see an album, it doesn't mean I don't know it.]

Lou Reed - Live: Take No Prisoners [honorable mention]
:-) [This would have made a 7 (B+) one disc album, if they had left off the long, sneering, unfunny monologues and "I Want to Be Black," and even one or two others. Christgau's C+ reads to me like phony outrage for being negatively name-checked.]
