Christgau rating

Am I the only one who thinks that the display of the Christgau rating is very misleading? It looks like he only gave it one star (presumably out of 5), but in reality, his * is intended to mean "honorable mention."

I agree; a couple of words is hardly a "review" anyway. Link being removed. Masebrock (talk) 03:49, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If there is a problem with the notability or relevance of Christgau's reviews, it should probably be taken up over at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums. They explicitly mention him in the list of good, notable reviewers. Reviews of his containing no text at all have been used many times in Featured Articles, including Adore. Now, I do agree that his rating scale is a little odd, but that's how he's chosen to do it so that's how his ratings are presented. It may also be of interest to check out the full text over at Template:Review-Christgau. I am replacing the review. 66.93.12.46 (talk) 06:55, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Surely the notability of the review, not the reviewer, is what should matter here? He probably wrote this in five minutes, maybe without ever hearing the album. If it is to be kept, a note saying that he hasn't marked it out of 5 has to be included. Otherwise, the Pumpkins and Cristgau both probably have a libel case against us--MartinUK (talk) 21:33, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All song titles serve as redirects to this album, have their own pages, or have been placed at the appropriate disambiguation pages. Godlord2 20:03, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, correct me if I'm wrong, but i dont think Snail has been done. IDISLIKEcaugette 09:41, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Box set?

According to this article there is going to be a pre-Gish/Gish box set, tentatively coming late 2008. StevePrutz (talk) 14:39, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
