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.

Tony Scott - Music for Zen Meditation: X (X)
Not qualified to grade. Tony Scott was a legitimate American jazz clarinetist and this is on Verve, but my primary motivation for getting a copy is that it's generally regarded as “the first new age album.” Some might consider that a dubious distinction, but I don't. Basically a Japanese flute, Japanese zither, and clarinet album. I actually like it, and would generally consider it an 8 (A-), but again, I don't consider myself qualified to grade this. I'm glad to own a nice vinyl copy though.
