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.]

Bright Eyes - One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels [honorable mention]
:-) [Not sure the horns improve this. Not sure why Christgau bombed the original 6-track version of this, which is what the honorable mention is for. I also note neither Hull, nor the New Rolling Stone Album Guide picks this one up. And I note that AllMusic likes this less than There Is No Beginning. And while the latter scores higher with users, that might only be because there are so many more who seem to be aware of it.]
