I'm glad star ratings aren't implemented then, as it would turn most readers away (probably including me), without really tempting them to give the record a shot. I personally love this record and believe pretty much everyone could (and should) like at least a few songs on this album.

I think this is a solid review and am seeing this overall sentiment echoed across the interwebs. I personally absolutely love this album and don't think there is a bad song on it. "Bambi" and "Gone" don't jive with me, but I don't even really feel like it would be worth expelling the energy to skip the track. Good review.
