2 dogs too many

Dear Readers,


In case anyone thinks I'm an idiot for giving Sonic Youth's new album 5 prairie dogs (PERFECT and EXTRAORDINARY MASTERPIECE) I didn't. For the record I've never given any review a perfect score. 4.5/5 is the highest I've ever gone, and that's only for something really incredible that I think everyone should listen to. The review I wrote was actually 3/5 (a good listen but really, who are we kidding, this ain't no Daydream Nation folks). It's a typo. The suits at the head office have asked everyone to please burn your copy of this weeks Prairie Dog and to never speak of it again.
With love,

Andrew

Is it worth $60 on vinyl?

Or, in other words, is it three dogs for any album or three dogs for a Sonic Youth album?

I think the star (dog) system seems to be arbitrary and flawed at the best of times.
$60 seems a bit steep to me, but hey it's your dough. It's as good as Goo, if that helps.

All the writers hate the dog scores. It's because kids today are taught grades don't matter. I blame socialism.

I blame PETA, they are in favour of extra dogs.
