I like this feature, but I wonder if some of these artists get lost in the long-term because they don't get formal reviews. Occasionally, I'll go to the main music page and look at the albums with A & B grades to see if there is anything I've missed in which I might be interested, and of course these albums aren't

I was going to say the same thing about Around The Sun's cover, until I really looked at it and realized that there was no way that Peter Buck was that skinny.
