Yeah except for the bad, but with the good always comes the bad sigh....

BUMP

Hey, I'm glad you thoroughly enjoyed the new album bro, but I do have a bone to pick about your review. I saw your pros considerably outweighed your cons. Would you agree that you think Staind's new album is "very good", but not quite "excellent"? If you do, then you should mark up your score to at least a 8.5/10. This is basic elementary rating scales here... a 7.5/10 suggests the CD is nothing more than "average". Or, for someone like me who tries to be an overachiever in regards to academics, a 7.5/10 or 75/100 is equivalent to failure status. So maybe it's just me. But I think I've seen a few others comment on your rating not matching up with your review. That's my only issue with the review, otherwise it was very well written and very well thought out -- I would advise you to think about altering that rating though!
