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.

Bright Eyes - One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels [liked]
:-) [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.]
