Not sure if this is the place to post this, but noticed that Robert Christgaus grades for some 2013 albums and all from 2014 to now are missing. Seeing that he's still reviewing professionally, his reviews should definitely be legit, so i have to assume that people haven't noticed that he's still reviewing.

I saw some ratings of this critic, Piero Scaruffi, and he is without doubt a polemical critic. Many albums universally considered masterpieces, like Sgt. Peppers, Led Zeppelin IV, Innnervisions and others acclaimed albums have just a rating of 7 of 10 by this critic. In fact, Revolver of The Beatles have a rating of only 5 of 10 by him also.
