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 Mighty Clouds of Joy - It's Time: 8.5 (high A-)
I agree with Christgau that this is one of the best albums to come out of Philly during the classic era. I overlooked it for many years because I thought it was gospel, which is understandable but still wrong. I have a nice vinyl copy.
