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 3 listens per posted album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. I shelved/sold ~10,000 albums after at least 3 listens before starting this blog and will add entries for those as they come up. Yes, I know that album (probably).

Digital Underground - The Body-Hat Syndrome: 3.5 stars
I owned this when it came out and couldn't understand Xgau's high A minus. I eventually sold it back. Listening to it now, 27 years later, I notice a couple things: I probably should have realized it's at least approaching a B plus and kept it. But also, I don't remember a single track, which says something. Anyway, now it's way too expensive, and given that I owned it before, I won't be paying high prices for used. They are still selling it for download on Bandcamp, which means it's effectively digital only. Add that all up, with the fact that it might actually be an honorable mention instead of a B plus, and I'm not rebuying it.
