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.]

Neil Young - Are You Passionate?
:-| [I'm on the fence with Christgau's "***" for Neil, mostly off at this point. I went for Greendale because I saw it live and liked it, and also Harvest Moon because it's so loved. But this, Unplugged and Peace Trail are a pass. This is consistent with Allmusic users and critics alike (although less so for Unplugged, which I also am biased against because it's live, especially acoustic), although not all the way with Tom Hull, because he gives this one an A minus, inexplicably.]
