Objectively, or as objectively as music can be rated, this is probably not a 4.5. There are some akward and at times poor lyrics, heavy amounts of teen angst, some songwriting shortcomings, and a slew of other flaws, good as the music sounds. But it hooked me just right, at just the right time in my life, to forever be considered one of my favorite albums. Here's to nostalgia. |
