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.

Beastie Boys - To the 5 Boroughs (Deluxe Edition): neutral
Of the 11 "bonus" tracks, four are remixes of one song on the album, three are remixes of a second, and one is a remix of a third. That leaves three tracks (the first three on disc two), with the total time for all three being less than eight minutes. This is for a minimum of $25, plus taxes and shipping. Total ripoff, especially since the album itself is good but not great. Here's the cover though because it's the Beastie Boys:
