Remember when I ranted that AllMusic needed to upgrade more albums from the 2000s to a five star rating because there wasn't many of them compared to the 2010s? Well...

...The following albums have been upgraded to 5.0 stars on AllMusic:

• Aaliyah - Aaliyah
• ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead - Source Tags & Codes
• Andrew W.K. - I Get Wet
• Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
• Beck - Sea Change
• Bonnie "Prince" Billy - The Letting Go
• The Bug - London Zoo
• Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism
• Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
• Flying Lotus - Los Angeles
• Gas - Pop
• Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven
• Gorillaz - Demon Days
• Grizzly Bear - Yellow House
• LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
• Lightning Bolt - Wonderful Rainbow
• Madvillain - Madvillainy
• Missy Elliott - Under Construction
• Muse - Black Holes & Revelations
• The Psychedelic Furs - Talk Talk Talk
• Quasimoto - The Unseen
• Ricardo Villalobos - Alcachofa
• Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
• Ulrich Schnauss - A Strangely Isolated Place
• The xx - The xx

The following albums have been upgraded to 4.5 stars on AllMusic:

• Bush - Sixteen Stone
• Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
• The Killers - Hot Fuss
• The Psychedelic Furs - Forever Now

It's a good start with (as ever) some unusual choices. They'll need to double that amount to catch up to their 2010s selection. Hopefully this is just the start and another update is in the works.

At least MartyD82 will be slightly happier now since MBDTF has (finally) been upgraded. It may not the complete upgrade Kanye fans had wanted but it's a move in the right direction.

IIRC, Hot Fuss started off as a three-star album...

Correct. Same with Sam's Town. The writer has a penchant for altering the album ratings whenever they take over reviewing an act's discorgraphy. It happened when they started writing the reviews for Beyoncé, Coldplay, Muse and Nine Inch Nails too.

EDIT: The same writer also does the reviews for Deftones. With the band releasing a new album tomorrow, AllMusic have (...you guessed it) made some rating changes to their discography:

• White Pony has been upgraded to 4.5 stars.
• Gore has been downgraded to 3.5 stars.

• New York by Lou Reed has also been upgraded, to 5.0 stars.

If there are any Linkin Park fans here, you'll be happy to know that Hybrid Theory has been rerated by AllMusic (yes, again). This time it's been upgraded to 4.5 stars.
