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

The Grateful Dead - Terrapin Station: 8.5 (high A-)
Upped from 7.5 (high B+) upon further listening. I have the lovely 2006 remaster on Rhino, even though it's defiled with useless "bonus material." The only thing I can't forgive this album for is containing "Dancin' in the Streets." I can't stand that song, live, studio, whatever. But all the other tracks are great. (Okay, maybe "Sunrise" is a little questionable, but all the others.) This has become probably my favorite Dead studio album.
