Notes/Thoughts: Some miscellaneous thoughts on ratings changes I am considering at this time ... Ys - Joanna Newsom under strong consideration and thorough review for an upgrade above 8.2/10 (no promises) ... Also makes me think Have One On Me could be upgraded to 9/10 though I'll need to revisit it ... Down Colorful Hill - Red House Painters might be slightly below 9/10 and actually 8.5 - 8.7/10 (though, at 8.8 it's on the precipice anyway...) ... Improvise - Paul Bley, Afternoon of a Georgia Faun - Marion Brown, Crystals - Sam Rivers, and Seeds Visions and Counterpoint - Ivo Perelman are all incredible but might actually be 8.5/10s instead of 9/10s ... Beethoven's Piano Sonata 23 might be 8.5/10 instead of 9/10. His 30th is probably 8.5/10 and no longer 9/10 which leads me to believe that a handful of my classical choices listed under it (on my Greatest Classical Works list) might be somewhat overrated (still 8.5/10 though). Starting to think that, despite how amazing they are, Beethoven's 32nd might actually be the only Piano Sonata to cross the 8.8/10+ threshold (including Schubert's two late sonatas, and Liszt's B Minor sonata) ...

I can't wait til about 5 years from now when it won't be cool anymore to like Blue by J Mitchell . Its far from her best. But I guess I'm not supposed to mention that half the songs were sung horribly. And ate clumsy songs. In a few years most of these top rated albums will be on nobody's list. Everyone will be instructed to like something else instead.

Why yes, but of course. I am surprised you neglected to mention To Rend Each Other Like Wild Beasts, Till Earth Shall Reek With Midnight Massacre.

Some thoughts on Beethoven's unparalleled 15th String Quartet while I was revisiting it today:
String Quartet No. 15 in A Minor - Ludwig van Beethoven (1825)
...An utterly impossible conception, a truly life-affirming miracle of art ... Confronting death as his life slowly recedes, flickers, returns and escapes his weakening grasp, this incredible masterpiece is an elegiac, deeply reflective and mysterious farewell, possibly the most profoundly moving work of art in the history of music... Each bow and sway and coalescence of instruments are contortions, fluctuations and communal embraces of Beethoven's soul, freely emoting in a boundless revelation of graces and gestures. They bow and sway and interlock in an endlessly introspective stream-of-consciousness, unveiling his yearnings, moans, cries, and reflections; his thoughts and hopes and dreams trailing off and dying, reinvigorated and dancing, in and out of its ethereal, metamorphosing structures. Beethoven gradually steps just beyond death towards the other side, embracing God and eternity while devastatingly haunted by uncertainty amidst cataclysmic loss and nostalgia for what he was leaving behind...
